The US has been lying about the Israeli occupation of Palestine for decades. I wouldn't trust them on anything even if they by chance tell the truth once or twice.

A defector is going to have an inherent dislike of the DPRK because they.. well, defected. If someone is happy there, they're not going to defect are they?

Bull$hitters like Yeonmi Park don't make me inclined to believe defectors.

This is a good point, we should ask some average North Koreans directly, that way we get a better balance of viewpoints. Maybe we can catch some on a vacation abroad or something.

Would you believe it if they said that it's not actually that bad?

You actually can, they usually go to places like China and Russia which they share close trade ties and land bridges with.
