North Korea
North Korean media has also been recognized to manipulate the truth in it's press. Defectors, or North Koreans that manage to exit the country are often shocked to contrast foreign world press with that of their own country's. North Korean media works in a much more dominating way than lying press does in other nations; almost all information from the press in curated by the government, so deception can range from misinforming about the reasons of impeachment of a South Korean president to directly lying about sports victories.

The dangerous difference with the Korean media is the punishment dispute conjures. Freedom of speech is a privilege North Korean citizens live without, punishments for speaking out can be as severe as causing one and ones family to 'vanish'. Counterattacks against the repressive media, in a sense 'honest press', are launched by defectors as well as foreigners, who send packages of information to contrast with that of North Korea's press for the sake of informing the citizens of the deception they are made subject to. Oftentimes, as a means of counteracting foreign aggressions of any sort, the North Korean government directly educates the citizens with information that criminalizes foreign nations for the sake of unifying governmental and citizen perspectives on international matters.
