One thing that's puzzled me is how does western media and human rights groups receive such detailed information on what is going on inside North Korea, considering how tightly controlled and guarded it is.

Turns out a lot of media coverage is unreliable. So it's really hard to know whats true and whats false, so take what you read with a grain of salt.

What comes out of North Korea directly from their state is obviously even less reliable.
