> Also lol for linking the BBC. To me it's like linking Radio Free Asia or the New York Times and pretend those are freedom fighters.
It's not really when the reporting is reporting what was done. But here's some more articles saying the same thing ?
> Most of what you assume to know about Koreans and likely Chinese or Vietnamese people is false.
You are assuming I am making assumptions. But I can see this discussion isn't going anywhere fast.

Oh yes ofc, if all imperial newspapers are saying it has happened, then it must have happened. A bit like when all imperial newspapers said there were WMD in Irak and that's why America had to destroy this country.
I really don't like entertaining discussions that are in bad faith, but the Iraq WMDs comment has bothered me. The UN themselves said it was unlikely Iraq had them. So while you clearly have your biases, at least double check them before trying to make a point. More people might take you seriously and have a meaningful discussion.

It's funny seeing how the same people who scream and whine about the media being 'biased' whenever they report on some awful shit that Trump did (even when it actually indirectly paints him positively) will unquestionably believe absolutely everything the media reports about North Korea.
Oh, sure, they're not directly state-owned news (except NPR and the BBC etc. etc.).
They're just owned by the owners of the state.
