    Based on what? That you don’t know it?
    https://www.rfa.org/english/

    I don’t see anything particularly wrong with it on the surface.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Asia

    The service, which provides editorially independent reporting,[6][7][8][9][10][11] has the stated mission of providing accurate and uncensored reporting to countries in Asia that have poor media environments and limited protections for speech and press freedom.

    6 references to the Independent reporting part! Seems pretty OK to me.

        Please provide backing for claims that this story is fake and that Radio Free Asia is not credible.

          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.

            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.
