If so, was it polled somewhere?

No, you can’t. I said they never make anything up, you’re actually morally obliged to believe anything they say.

But you were obviously being sarcastic, so I thought you are advocating the opposite.

I don’t immediately discard anything from western sources, but I do give them appropriate scrutiny, and I don’t take baseless allegations from them without the appropriate level of the verifiable evidence as gospel, especially when they have clear geopolitical motivations for their claims. They’ve lied far too many times to be extended the benefit of the doubt.

Fair enough. I hope you apply the same reasoning to other sources like Russian, North Korean, or Chinese sources?
-
I do!

Literally no one is quoting the DPRK as an authority on things other than the question of "what is the DPRK's official line?" and mundane questions of policy and economic growth.
But Hexbear mostly deals with liberal rags, it just does so with some level of cynicism.

You trust them on their economic growth figures? Those seem the most exaggerated documents I can think of.

Have you ever even looked at them?
