ml and their daydream of a perfect NK is hilarious to see in the wild.
You can have healthy skepticism without jumping to the other end of the spectrum of DPRK stan.
Normal people can, yes, but .ml isn't full of normal people. There's a good reason for the instance's stereotype.
You're not addressing the fact that BBC admits they didn't/couldn't substantiate his claims, which apparently is no problem for your own journalistic standards.
Why would i address that?
Was i ordered to adress anything other than what I've already commented on?
Have I been compelled to address it?
Do i believe in any way that NK isn't unfortunately a shithole fascist dictatorship of a country?
Do i feel bad for you for wanting to think NK is a theme park sunday stroll paradise?
No.
You're tedious and annoying.
They are reporting on what he told them. Would you expect a news outlet to be able to somehow verify the testimony of a prisoner of war before reporting on it?
The title and article both make it clear that they are reporting his story.
Additionally, the rest of the article - including the ones before and after your quote - discusses numerous cases of other similar scenarios.
