Fünf Punkte wie man erkennt, dass eine Geschichte über Nordkorea Quatsch ist

(1) If the story sounds like bullsh*t and doesn’t cite a credible source, it’s probably bullsh*t. 

(2) If the story is sourced to someone who’s still inside Kim Jong Un’s court, then it’s probably bullsh*t. 

(3) If the story alleges a fact that’s susceptible to verification, yet can’t be verified, then it’s probably bullsh*it. 

(4) If the story sounds like bullsh*t and reeks of disinformation, it’s probably bullsh*t. 

(5) If the story forecasts some major liberalizing policy change, is sourced exclusively to North Korean government sources, doesn’t fit with other known facts, and is related by a reporter/commentator who desperately wants to believe it, it’s probably bullsh*t.

Aktuelles Beispiel: Ein Nordkoreaner sei erfolgreich auf der Sonne (!) gelandet.
