CBS News and Fox News are under fire for praising North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un’s hot new bod.

CBS News shared an article, which incorporated reporting from CBS and the Associated Press, on its Twitter page with the headline, “Thinner, more energetic Kim Jong Un steals the spotlight at North Korea parade.”

The outlet got panned by Twitter users for celebrating the post-summer bod of a violent dictator.

Sycophantic flattery for a mass-murdering dictator isn’t a good look for a serious news organization, @CBSNews. https://t.co/RhtYTFk8gL

In addition to CBS News, Fox News also came under fire after host Rachel Campos-Duffy suggested Kim Jong Un is hotter than U.S. president Joe Biden.

“He does look good. I’m sorry, he looks better than our president,” Campos-Duffy said on Fox News Primetime Thursday.

Imagine what it says about Fox viewers that you think you have to say stuff like this to stay in their good graces. https://t.co/DEF2tEhvvD

Imagine if a progressive or a Democrat, imagine if Ilhan Omar!, went on TV to praise a murderous foreign dictator’s “look” over the American president’s. Just imagine. https://t.co/Ptwpxja7uj

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta call Kim Jong Un hot https://t.co/2OM4VCyPWW

I wonder if Sean Hannity, et al. would blow a gasket if @IlhanMN or @AOC said about Kim Jong Un, “He does look good. He looks better than our President.” https://t.co/FPpvueGmpz
