The amount of unconfirmed or secondhand propaganda we get out of north korea is pretty astounding, I wouldn't at face believe, say, whatever a guardian article posts about them, for instance, and probably also not anything from radio free asia, or probably defectors with inconsistent stories that are funded by the south korean government, that sort of shit.

That's fair enough, I did read recently on this site that they did blur jeans on a broadcast of a show. The site claims to be as unbiased as they can but I haven't done deep research into them.

They have a content syndication agreement with the guardian, and I think they poorly cite their sources in most stories. I wouldn't really have great confidence with their reporting.
