Jag skulle gissa på att det handlar om att Nordkorea har yttrande-/tryckfrihet inskrivet i konstitutionen, även det uppenbarligen inte gäller, medan Eritrea har stiftat lagar som i princip totalförbjuder privatstyrda media.
Turkmenistan är inte direkt bättre.
Dom ligger ett steg före Nordkorea dock så säger det inte så mycket.

"Saparmurat Niyazov, who was President of Turkmenistan from 1985 to 2006,is another oft-cited cultivator of a cult of personality. Niyazov simultaneously cut funding to and partially disassembled the education system in the name of "reform", while injecting ideological indoctrination into it by requiring all schools to take his own book, the Ruhnama, as its primary text, and like Kim Il-sung, there is even a creation myth surrounding him.During Niyazov's presidency there was no freedom of the press nor was there freedom of speech. This further meant that opposition to Niyazov was strictly forbidden and major opposition figures have been imprisoned, institutionalized, deported, or have fled the country, and their family members are routinely harassed by the authorities.[ Additionally, a silhouette of Niyazov was used as a logo on television broadcasts and statues and pictures of him were "erected everywhere". For these, and other reasons, the US Government said that by the time he died, "Niyazov's personality cult...had reached the dimensions of a state-imposed religion."
"Human Rights Watch, in its World Report 2012, says there is a cult of personality of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow and that it is strengthening.Agence France-Presse reports a developing personality cult. Reporters Without Borders says the president is promoting a cult of personality of himself and that his portraits have taken the place of the ones of the previous president."
