But is it disinformation?
Spreading information is not the same as spreading lies.
There's a great documentary about North Korean expats who were convinced to flee to South Korea based on anti-NK agitprop. Once they arrive in SK, they discover that they're second class citizens whose only real revenue source is talking shit about NK. This has given birth to one of the most famous NK dissident disinformation agents, Yeomni Park
You seriously believe this? This isn't a great documentary, it peddles conspiracies theories without attempting to prove any of its claims.
The channel this is posted on is clearly of one opinion and is pushing an agenda.
They are brought to a detention center, for a week, longer if they are showing signs of cult behavior. The video tries really hard to show this to be horrible and makes zero attempts to balance this in anyway. To me this sounds like a deprogramming center but to a tankie it is primed to accept its sinister and therefore will accept it without thinking.
This video actually proves that not everyone can be deprogrammed. Near the end the one of the North Korean's literally says North Korea is awesome and not a dictatorship because it says so in the constitution. Also, the lack of protesters during the famine are proof that every one believed in the leadership so much that there was no need to protest.
That's cult mentality. There are people who believe everything they hear and lack critical thinking skills. You might be one of them, but I am not.
To a critical observer this only serves to show how subversive propaganda is and how it can permanently break some people's minds.
The fact that that exists, shows we have freedoms. Show me the anti-north Korean propaganda that North Koreans can freely access.
Direct Testimonial of trafficked North Korean ex-pats is the proof.
This comment certainly is.

I'm sure it's not all 100% objective truth. Nobody wants to talk shit about themselves willingly. But yeah just sayin.
You're so brain rotted you can't conceive that someone would throw their own country under the bus. Most people in developed societies do, frequently.
Nobody as in world leaders. Not nobody as in individual citizens.
People in the US know things are fucked up, but when was the last time you heard that said in a State of the Union address for example? When it's on a world stage every country tries to look good.
I mean, a whole heck of a lot of the US is perfectly willing to talk shit about the US. We just get annoyed if people outside the US that aren't Nordic start talking shit about the US. The Swiss can shut up, or put up. Same for India.
That being said, you're probably correct that it isn't objective, as I seriously doubt that they are sending solely documentaries and AP sources.
Edit: Congratulations to The Swiss for their stance on Ukraine.
