What is really a joke is the 5.1% figure.
I don’t care if Ronald Reagan were in office...the government compiling statistics on its own performance is laughably absurd.
It’s akin to giving the scoreboard controls to an NFL coach and telling him ‘keep it fair.’
The numbers are fraudulent and so are the media who, despite billions invested in personnel, technology and facilities, simply parrot the official line. The North Korean state broadcasters have equal credibility.
