What does the following excerpt reveal about Chang-bo?

Chang-bo’s job was to report business stories. He toured collective farms, shops, and factories with a notebook and tape recorder, interviewing the managers. Back in the newsroom, he would write his stories in fountain pen (there were no typewriters) about how well the economy was doing. He always put a positive spin on the facts, although he tried to keep them at least plausible.

• He was not afraid to bend the truth in order to stay in the good graces of the North Korean government.

• The type of stories he covered were very different than the news story which got him in trouble.

• He knew first-hand that North Korea had an excellent economy.
