North Korea wants to ban corn dogs because of western decadence or something?! That's horrible!
Let's check out the sources.
According to reports, Kim has banned North Koreans from eating hotdogs as part of a crackdown on Western culture slowly oozing its way into the hermit nation.
"Reports". Well, not super convincing so far...
According to Radio Free Asia (RFA), North Korea has also banned steamed rice cakes tteokbokki which is a popular street food in South Korea.
Oh hey, there we go, Radio Free Asia! What a great unbiased source/CIA front propaganda operation. Aren't they the same people who said something like everyone in NK has to have their leader's haircut? Or was forbidden to have his haircut? I think they said leather jackets were banned there once? Or that someone was executed for smuggling in Squid Game?
Food isn’t the only thing the hermit nation is cracking down on. Reports emerged in December that claim people who get divorced in North Korea are facing one to six months in labour camps for their “crimes”.
More "Reports".
According to RFA, a divorced woman claimed she served three months of labour and said that women receive harsher sentences than the men.
So ya, it's basically just RFA.
Beautiful.
You'd think so, but mods in lemmy.world were apparently saying RFA is a legitimate source and are either independent, or they are part of the US government but it doesn't matter because they still have a good history of journalism and check their facts. Then banning everyone who disagreed.
I think they even used MFBC, which is hilarious once I read it. No failed fact checks for 5 years? How is that possible? And they report them as factual and left-leaning by taking two to three random stories? I thought everyone new RFA was biased as hell, but I shouldn't under estimate US propaganda I guess.
