The people who manage to escape NK are a pretty good source. Also, 2 wrongs don't make a right. It's perfectly possible for both the US and NK to be in the wrong.

1st link:

Defectors can expect to receive the six-figure payout if they cross the border with intelligence that helps enhance South Korea's security.

That... is actually very reasonable, and does not support or diminish your argument.

2nd link: I'm sorry, but DPRK news room doesn't exactly scream unbiased.

3rd link: The tone and channel name seems comedic at first glance, but I'll watch it and get back to you. Plenty of comedians doing real journalism these days anyway, so that shouldn't be a mark against him.

Paid testimony is bribery, its not reliable.

That specific BBC article is what I was talking about. It's not publicly available testimony, it's information gathering by the SK state about NK from defectors.

You should move there and see what it's actually like.

Again, you should go and report back what it's really like.

People have literally done that (and continue to do so). Their stories get censored by western media for not being anti-communist enough.
