Western media are so dumb when it comes to news stories about North Korea: or they just receive orders

"“One state security official personally organised a meeting to alert local residents to potential ‘hostile actions’ by internal rebellious elements,” a source in Jagang Province told Radio Free Asia’s Korean Service.  “The main point of the lecture was ‘Keep your mouths shut.’”"  Well, this kind of documentation would have been strictly unacceptable about say a beloved country, like the Israeli occupation state.  But on North Korea, standards and professionalism are out of the window.  A source told a propaganda Radio station and then it becomes a news story with a headline? Also, it is illegal to mock the leader in Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and Sudan.  So where is the uniqueness of this, and where is the outrage over repression in pro-US tyrannies?
