Reply #211: The false dichotomy is that one has to choose between only two things:

[DutchLiberal]

either one believes *everything* in the US media and is therefore a naive puppet who believes in the evil propaganda of the US against poor North-Korea.... or one doesn't believe *anything* in the US media and is therefore an informed, enlightened, open-minded person about North-Korea.

And before you start your childish semantic games: no, nobody said it EXACTLY LIKE THAT, word-for-word, of course. That's a recap in my own words. That's the gist of the false dichotomy. It is not expressed literally (they're too sly for that), but they use it in the form of questions like: "so you don't think the US has ever used propaganda?" --in reply to me saying that the facts we know about N-K are not US propaganda. See? That, there, that question in regard to that remark of mine --THAT'S the false dichotomy.
