I.E. US State Department


So to clarify, what's your issue here? Do you think they weren't executed? Or is it that you think executing them is totally normal and cool?


Radio Free Asia has repeatedly put out exaggerated or sensational claims about North Korea, at least some of which have turned out to be false. Nobody is endorsing NK, executions, etc.


Can you list an example? Not that I don’t believe you, but RFA why biased is nevertheless boring and often not known for clickbait.


If you were to believe them, Kim ate too much cheese and it forced him to disappear, and he died several times. Also he killed an uncle with an anti-aircraft gun, and he reappeared, so he fed him to dogs, then he reappeared again. (These are things they literally reported)

Anyone who enjoys their reporting may also have an interest in Weekly World News.


Believe who? Dept of State? Dare to share references to the DoS-sourced articles you mention?


> Believe who?

I think they’re referring to Radio Free Asia.


The issue is that Radio Free Asia isn't a trustworthy source.


Source?


One classic example is this

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rfa.org/english/news/korea/...

And the fact that it's US sponsored media targeted against an ideological enemy


They weren't executed.


Source?


I think since your coming here with the extradentary claim the burden of proof really lands on you.


I'm glad you specified in your first comment on this site that you're not CIA otherwise I would have been suspicious.


Most of these news coming out of north Korea are eventually proven fake. Not condoning NK but most stories are just exaggerated nonsense
