Being a non-government entity does not mean it isn't propaganda. Propaganda isn't even inherently incorrect, it's information conveyed with a purpose. As I said, Rodong Sinmun is the WPK's news, so not the same as the government. KCNA is not the WPK. These are different entities, run by different people. The reason I point out that I think your wish for fully independent media is strange is because it's not necessarily good for transparency and pushback against potentially unpopular policy. The correct ideas do not win out in the "marketplace of ideas." Criticism and self-criticism are already fundamental to socialist practice, and the DPRK already has democratically run institutions with more distributed power than, for example, the US.
