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 my opinion, this sounds like an outright lie. Saying they lost two goals means they failed two goal scoring chances, not that they suffered two goals.
And to maintain the lie, they never say they lost or didn't win.
I don't know why FIFA allows tyrant dictator countries to participate.
