"Good Friends": The voice of God? Or just regular charlatans?

I think that I'm going to start an NGO. I'm not sure what it's mission will be, maybe something trendy like promoting democracy, or ensuring human rights. It doesn't matter which one, because any group that claims to be for such things becomes, it seems, automatically infallible in the eyes of the mainstream news media.

Case in point:

I saw a long list of news articles about alleged North Korean human rights violations recently. They were reported, almost literally, everywhere. The Associated Press, the NY Times, Reuters, British, European, Asian and African newspapers. Maybe Latin America--I'm not sure--but definitely Australia, that lowly-populated very large island/tiny continent/nation-state. According to the reports, soldiers from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea--not that you actually hear the official name used in the news media) shot 15 people simply for trying to cross the border into China. The stories even had a quote from an unnamed DPRK official.

Hm. You would think that a story that spreads like this across the world would have some reputable source, or maybe even a few sources, that would back up such a claim. So, as someone who supports the policy and struggle of the DPRK, I looked into it. I didn't find any official confirmation from the Korea Central News Agency, the state press service of North Korea. Nor did I find anything confirming it from their Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor from the South Korean MFA. China? Nope.

The only source given, apparently, anywhere on Earth, was a South Korean "human rights" NGO called "Good Friends."

Who the f**k are these people who are so important that their word is taken as omnipotent by the world news media?

I looked them up on Google, and couldn't find anything about them, except that they often issue statements like the recent story about the northern part of their country. In fact, I found no evidence that they even exist, aside from a few statements they made.

Given that all you have to do to be seen as omniscient, no matter how outlandish your claim, is to be an NGO (at least on paper) and say you're for democracy and/or human rights--maybe even freedom, throw that in for the mix; who doesn't like freedom?--I've decided that I would find a friend an establish an NGO. When I do this, "Nice People" (that's going to be our name) will start making reports to the news media, alerting everyone to the fact that "Notes from a Provincial Cosmopolitan," the famous Blogspot blog, is responsible for saving small children from burning buildings while at the same time getting cats out of trees and saving old ladies and all that. Just as believable, if not moreso.
