Vice seemed to be attempting to push the "look how ridiculous and backwards these people are".
Or to put it a different way, because they were American, the DPRK were trying to give them a certain impression of the country while the Departures guys are just some Canadians, with a British guide so there was less of a curtain put up.
I liked the Vice guide stuff, I just find the contrast between the two stories and perspectives interesting.
edit: didn't know the guy was from Montreal...I swore he had a US passport.
