Kim Jong Un trying to gather North Koreans behind his cause?

On Tuesday October 1st, 2013, South Korea held its largest military parade in over a decade.  This was a clear demonstration that it was prepared to go to war if North Korea began to act overly hostile.  While this was less of a threat and more of a way to show that they were capable of defending themselves, a North Korean news paper claimed that this military display was a clear act of aggression and was one of South Korea's ways of "begging" for the United States' permanent occupation.  If Kim Jong Un is using local media outlets to portray his view of the events this may be a sign that he is actually trying to get the people of North Korea to back him on this issue.  Could this be a sign that, while the people still have very little power, Kim Jong Un actually cares about their opinions? This is not to be mistaken with giving the people actual power however maybe he, as opposed to his predecessors, has realized that it is a lot easier to control a willing crowd than it is a rebellious one.
            The media is one of the easiest ways for Kim Jong Un to gather support for whichever cause he chooses because he has total control of it on a local level. This gives him the ability to distort the news to favor whatever view he wants it to, or if he so chooses, to keep certain pieces of information completely hidden from the public at large.  A typical example of this would be the reason as to why South Korea is "showing off" its military forces.  Very few North Koreans are even aware that Kim Jong Un has been testing nuclear weapons, and without this information they could easily be led to believe that South Korea is preparing for a hostile takeover with no good reason.  This is just one of the many examples of how easy it is to mislead people when one person has total control over every media outlet within a certain territory.
