Kim Jong-un bans hotdogs for North Koreans, cooking them an act of treason
Kim Jong-un bans hotdogs for North Koreans, cooking them an act of treason
It's one of the most popular items around the world. Now it's banned in North Korea.
Not the hotdogs!

The facts –
-
Radio Free Asia was involved in anti-vaxx campaigns in the Philippines
-
Radio Free Asia is associated by Radio Free Europe, a CIA operation to smear anti-USA regimes.
-
RFA staff are appointed by the government of the USA, known to be hostile to North Korea
-
Also, the story is just silly on the face of it and common sense says it's made-up.

Source for anti-vax claim?
You do know where DW, the one source you provide, gets its money?

The comment thread from this point down is useless.

There, wasn't that easier than debating "whose job" it is to look up Wikipedia?

Buffalox already posted it.

? I'm not going to hunt down whatever you're referring to.
DW money?

Brandolini's law moment.
You want me to "hunt down" the DW background? I'll do the labour if you do, ok?
-
I know the DW background, I live in the country they're based in. I'm asking if you know the background of the source you use.
Also, still waiting for anti-vax source.

On 11 May 2021, Fact-checker First Draft News found that Chinese- and Cantonese-language versions of Radio Free Asia (RFA) published anti-vaccine misinformation regarding the Chinese vaccines, particularly the ones manufactured by Sinopharm and Sinovac. The investigation found the RFA articles amplified misleading claims about the vaccine programs, and its stories were reprinted by popular tabloid newspapers to reinforce the anti-vaccine misinformation.

Dw is founded entirely by the German culture&media ministry: https://corporate.dw.com/de/wer-finanziert-die-deutsche-welle/a-279073
The point made was probably that it is ironic you wold use them as a source for RFA being government-founded insinuating that makes them inherently biased.
Now you go.

He didn't claim that tho? DW started being discussed here – https://lemmy.world/comment/14345095 – where it talks about Trump/Biden hiring/firing staff at US Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
Are you saying Trump/Biden did not in fact hire/fire staff at US Agency for Global Media (USAGM)?? Coz that's the only reason you'd bring up DW's credibility. Otherwise you're just diverting.

It was first mentioned as a reply to that comment. It was first being discussed here :https://feddit.org/comment/4011934
He didn't claim that tho? They are insinuating it. Why else would you mention that in a reply to a comment asking to prove a lack of credibility.

In the linked DW-article it says the administration hired/fired stuff. Which is arguably different then them doing it directly, although that is a bit pedantic I guess. My main point is that that alone does not makes RFA an unreliable source. I am using DW as an example because it exists in a similiar framework (directly appointed by a government administration) and yet is credible.

Ah. So you don't actually have any credible citations to back up your contentions about RFA, you just don't like them saying true things that put North Korea (!) in a negative light.
Weird to go to bat for an insane dictator, but hey, you do you.
Or rather, I should say, you do you somewhere else. Not here. Bye.
