    The DPRK had 80% of its buildings destroyed in US bombing runs, but they are rebuilding. The fact that they aren’t fully rebuilt yet doesn’t mean there isn’t a well-documented misinformation campaign, watch the documentary I linked. Heck, read the Wikipedia Page for Media Coverage of the DPRK, it backs me up:

    Despite North Korea being a “black box” to outsiders, strong interest in the Kim family, as well as misunderstandings of Korean culture, have also led to inaccurate reporting. In the absence of solid evidence, some media outlets turn to sensationalism, basing stories on rumors. Stereotypes, exaggerations, or caricaturing distort some media coverage of North Korea. There has been some media coverage based on hoaxes or satire.[2]

    Where is this “quality reporting?” I don’t much care if conspiracy theorists refuse to believe Wikipedia, fact-based documentaries, and widespread consensus.
