Long and easily verifiable history of western media stories about NK being proven completely wrong+obvious foreign policy motive for lying=dismiss stories until they're proven true
But... That's just an argument that you don't know the situation in NK. Not that the situation is anything, good or bad?
If I lie to you where the fire is, it does not mean the fire is cold.
Not knowing would be a good reason to assume nothing, I don't have to believe the fire is cold to doubt that there's a fire at all
