Their information
The media of North Korea is one of the most strictly controlled in the world. As a result, information is tightly controlled both into and out of North Korea. The constitution provides for freedom of speech and the press; however, the government prohibits the exercise of these rights in practice. In its 2008 report, Reporters Without Borders classified the media environment in North Korea as 172 out of 173, only above that of Eritrea.[81]

Only news that favors the regime is permitted, whilst news that covers the economic and political problems in the country, or criticisms of the regime from abroad is not allowed.[82] The media upholds the personality cult of Kim Jong-il, regularly reporting on his daily activities.

These are all sourced from websites.

Is all the sources online available for us all true ?

I believe a country's leader have to make decisions with valid reasons & confidence.

How has the leadership of NK convince/control their people?
