Hitler wasn't a cool rapper who was gangnam style.
Or was he?

Hitler wasn't a cool rapper who was gangnam style.
He would feed himself to starved dogs.
First it was firing squad, now it was a pack of 120 dogs?
Execution by starving dogs makes him sound like a badass. Firing squad doesn't have the same je ne sais quois.
Oh, I see. So it is all about me. You are truly infatuated.
Is this you still not caring about what I think?
Carry on, dumbass.
A better read on this story is that DPRK is pissing off the Chinese so much that they've taken to the state-sponsored newspaper to bad-mouth Kim Jong Un.

But all of this raises the question: why are so many people – and so many major U.S. media outlets – still willing to treat this implausible story as plausible? This seems to be a problem particular to stories out of North Korea, about which almost any story is treated as broadly credible, no matter how outlandish or thinly sourced. There's no other country to which we bring such a high degree of gullibility.
A friend who's covered North Korea for several years and has visited the country, Isaac Stone Fish, now of Foreign Policy, once joked to me that as an American journalist you can write almost anything you want about North Korea and people will just accept it. Call it the Stone Fish Theory of North Korea coverage. We know so little about what really happens inside the country, and especially inside the leader's head, that very little is disprovable. But the things we do know are often so bizarre that just about anything can seem possible.
The only problem is that it's probably – probably – not true.
Hard to get any more definitive than that!!
Well..OK..maybe not that hard....
Well, you've convinced me.
It *must* be true then.

How did I convince you of anything? I opined nothing at all. I simply cut-n-pasted that stunningly definitive statement from the article that YOU linked.
So, eat Chinese and worry it might actually be dog. However, when it's North Korean. . . .
