Media outlets in the U.S. reported a more amicable atmosphere during the festivities for the 70th anniversary of North Korea. Over 100 foreign journalists were invited to cover the major national anniversary celebration. ABC News reported the inter-continental ballistic missiles paraded in public in the past were not on display this time around. Instead the focus was on economic development and inter-Korean peace. CNN described the North Korean crowds at the mass games as human pixels and marveled at their coordination to create moving images from the stands.
