I am pleased to inform you that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in the air and on his way back from North Korea with the 3 wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting. They seem to be in good health. Also, good meeting with Kim Jong Un. Date & Place set.
After pulling out of the Iran deal, Trump is going to meet Kim Jong-un just to tell him he's a fagit to his face and see what happens.
The North just cancelled scheduled talks with the South in response to SK/US military drills.
1. Xi becomes president for life
2. Shortly afterwards, invites Kim to Beijing. This is the first trip Kim has made outside NK in 7 years.
3. Less than a month later, Kim and SK president meet, talk for peace.
4. May 8th, Kim is back in Beijing for a secret meeting.
5. May 16th, peace talks cancelled.
Something is going on here.
I blame the biased media coverage for the news coming from nowhere. Anytime you heard anything from Western media about North Korea it was eithee FUD or warmongering. Western media never actually covered that country in any other way and most people don't even read KCNA (although it is under DDoS a lot of the time an unreachable) or relevant Chinese news. All of the times I ever read KCNA, only a small percentage is what is reflected by what western media reports.
And strangely (but not strange at all) often western media will invent quotes from KCNA, which is even worse.
I think it is more likey not a "come from nowhere" situation and more of a "we haven't actually been paying enough attention" situation.
I'd like to see some examples of this because I'm being bombarded with pleas for me to ignore what my local media outlets tell me and I want to know if I should start doing so.
And what, if I do, I should fall back on I guess.
Mate I think cutting news out of my life was a great move. Did wonders for my mental health and for what I considered important to me. There are people who will fight the good fight but I am not one of them, I'm just a pleb trying to get by in life. Whatever opinion I have will change nothing for the powers that be. So when I stopped giving a shit about news, I felt better.
As for trustworthy news sites concerning NK, I agree. There is so much BS about NK it's ridiculous. It's a shit country, absolutely, but when the news reports there was a massive cave avalanche or whatever and now all the NK nuclear scientists are dead and so that's why NK is going to talk about peace...yeahhhhhhh.
I guess, what my rambling on is getting at, is to always follow the source. And to be honest that's a bit much asking for someone to truly care about what's happening a world over, with no consequences on your life in your home.
I dislike using the term 'fake news' because it's what Trump has been trying to deflect with, but geez louise it certainly exists, and the fearmongering is not something I want to care about.
If you don't follow the news, how do you know what is real or fake? Are you basing your assertions on facts or feelings?

It depends on what you care about, but I tend not to care much about those types of news stories.
Now Trump has cancelled the talks. He's a fucking amateur and turning international diplomacy into the WWF.
Ridiculous but predictable.
Technology I'm fairly confident with any news source.
not because of political motivations as with other types of news.
