We can go with that. He definitely goes well beyond the "I'm just polite" sort of deal that sealioning normally implies.

Because it's a "the US state department says so" moment so therefore it's fake, or something. The real issues are that they linked to NYPost and that the entire thing was dug up from 2009.

I don't know if this story is fake or not, but some widely published stories about North Korea have been faked.

Notably, the infamous story about Kim Jong Un's ex-girlfriend. It was reported by a South Korean news paper that she was executed and spread through Western news. Bizarrely, Dennis Rodman, who is personal friends with Kim Jong Un, publicly stated this rumor was false. Several years later, she turned up alive and well.

I don't support North Korea whatsoever. I'm just saying, some of the crazy stories from there have been proven false.

Was it really faked, or more like stories suspecting the possibility based on the history of a dictator in the most reclusive nation in the world?

Yeah it's a real thing, because of the reclusiveness and media-hostile stances of the country, western media publishes stories about NK that often end up fake. They physically can't verify the stories due to NK policies.

I don't believe it's entirely in bad faith, however NK human rights watchers have written critically about our media's loosey goosey treatment of NK stories because it distorts our understanding and perception of the real and serious problems faced by the population.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_coverage_of_North_Korea
Media coverage of North Korea (officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) is hampered by an extreme lack of reliable information, coupled with an abundant number of sensationalist falsehoods.[1] There are a number of reasons for this lack of information and incorrect stories.

Access to North Korea by foreign news media is severely restricted by the North Korean government. There are very few full-time correspondents in the country. In the absence of on-the-spot reportage, a key source of information about North Korea is the testimony of defectors, but the defectors are not necessarily reliable for several reasons. Overall, much information about North Korea is filtered through South Korea, and the longstanding conflict between the two states distorts the information that is received.

Despite North Korea being a "black box" to outsiders, strong interest in the Kim family, as well as misunderstandings of Korean culture, have also led to inaccurate reporting. In the absence of solid evidence, some media outlets turn to sensationalism, basing stories on rumors. Stereotypes, exaggerations, or caricaturing distort some media coverage of North Korea. There has been some media coverage based on hoaxes or satire.
This page has a bunch of examples.

I'm not defending averagejoel here and I'd describe his conduct in this instance as trolling for just calling a very serious alleged situation fake and not providing any context.

The problem is the overton window of discussion in the US, people by and large believe these articles at face value because all the media networks repeat them on air. It's in our movies and tv shows too. NK is the designated "craziest place in the world where anything can happen"
