For the record:

The New Zealand Herald is a credible source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-zealand-herald/
Radio Free Asia is a credible source: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/radio-free-asia/
Kim Jong Un is a brutal dictator who starves the people of North Korea, and news stories that document his atrocities aren't racist.
If you want to come to this sub to argue in favor of fascist regimes, don't be surprised when your account is banned and your content is removed.
The story stays. It's from a legitimate news source, and it's a very bizarre, Onion-y headline.

Radio free asia is NOT a credible source at all

Not only that, read their wikipedia page... they're funded by the US government and are a known propaganda mill.

kim jong un is a brutal evil dictator but that source is just nonsense for clicks, I can give more examples of their blatant lies if necessary

for me this only proves that website is garbage.

The RFA-defenders' only thing is posting mediabiasfactcheck.com over and over again.

Kim Jong Un is a brutal dictator who starves the people of North Korea

Surely they should like him then??

Makes little sense to say he is bad because he "starves the people of North Korea", and therefore throw your support behind the regime that starved 20% of North Koreans in the 1950s and more with ongoing sanctions.
