That's a sad reality for those who live there...

Oh I'm not saying they didn't try to manipulate things. I'm just saying, that in the other reports from North Korean media, they have not flat out lied, just hidden the truth by focusing on the one goal, not reporting the end result, and only briefly mentioning the two goals against them.
As an example:
Quote:
Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- The league match of the 2010 World Cup between the DPRK and Brazil took place at dawn (Pyongyang time) on Wednesday.
From the outset of the match the two teams fought a seesaw battle. The DPRK footballers created good shooting chances, not losing their confidence even after losing two goals.
At about the 88th minute of the match Jong Tae Se headed the ball before passing it to Ji Yun Nam who powerfully kicked it into the rival's goalmouth, scoring a goal.
The DPRK team will meet its Portuguese rival on June 21.

the point is that while North Korea do manipulate the media very much, the western media often goes for the hyperbolic as well when reporting on North Korean media manipulation.
In the above mentioned clip I for one question the English subtitles.
