One thing that stands out for me was something that told to me in a college class when we were touching on propaganda. Before most wars the rival countries will spread news of their enemies killing children or babies in horrible ways. It makes it easier for the population to demonize their enemies and accept the destruction of others.

North Korea made it hard for North Korea. The leadership decided building nuclear weapons is more important than food.

It's not propaganda, it's actually occurring. The people are starved and the leadership is crazed and apathetic.

North Korea has a lot of farm land much is planted. We don't see the pictures. Because they won't let anyone take them. Read up on N.Korea and anyone that has traveled into that country, vacation etc.. They were shocked to see farm land and crops. Sure they can't grow everything. They have bowling alleys, kids love riding their skateboards, they have schools, etc.... University. Many people work, take the train to work. Sure its different and controlled, and you can be controlled by the government. They are feed their garbage by the government just like everybody else.

In my book, lies are at the base of corruption.
It is impossible to have a just civilized society without
the concept of truth.

Let in watch groups, rights groups, press, etc to interview the named and figure out if it's true from their experiences, or a big ol' hoax.

That was what really sold me on the interview, the reactions by both hosts couldn't be faked.

I don't understand where people get the notion to deny cannibalism in North Korea; the people are starving, of course they are going to resort to extreme measures to stay alive. Cannibalism isn't exclusive to North Korea...

Did that stop the elite from invading Iraq and Libya ?
