In North Korea, there is blatantly one-sided propaganda, and a certain segment of society knows it's propaganda, while the vast majority buys it at least on a surface level, but at the same time are going with the flow in part because if you don't, you can possibly be punished.
In the United States, there are two swaths of clear propaganda, one coming from the, "right wing" the other coming from the, "left wing."
People are so deep up to their necks in shit from both sides that no one has a clue what the hell is going on anymore. The propaganda has so deeply manipulated people that deep down, no one is certain of anything. People come online and ferociously yell at each other - that's equivalent to basically drawing a line in the sand to keep one's own sanity, but 99% of what people say is just more bullshit propaganda they are mindlessly parroting from something else they read previously.
I would as a total guess say around 10% of North Korea knows that everything is bullshit, whereas only 1% of Americans know that most of what they hear all day is bullshit - whether that be from Fox News or NPR or different politicians whatever your news source of choice is. Nothing is backed by numbers, evidence, it's just fuck tons of rhetoric with no predictive value, all day, every single day, constantly, and everyone laps it up on both sides of the political spectrum so that they feel better about themselves.
Edit: Upon further thinking about this, while there are some good news programs out there in America that give you data and market analysis and such, weather forecasting, etc...they probably have a few small decent programs in Korea that just give people basic verifiable information that people can rely on as well...so when you take the vast majority of everything into account, the United States is still far worse. We are probably better at weather forecasting but that would be about it.
Edit 2: I'm convinced very few of the commenters in here actually read what I wrote - there are a lot of people here saying something along the lines of, "You think North Korea is better than the US, you're dumb." At least make an effort to read what I wrote rather than just the headline. To those who did read this and made some pretty interesting counterpoints, thank you.
