Taiwan’s Liberity Time has as much as a credit of notorious Epoch Times, which means they won’t feel ashamed of making up news.
According to the Liberity Time, it is the US/Japan founded the launch failure, yet the first one to report this failure is this Taiwan news agency, aint it smell fishy?
Just take a huge grain of salt to any of the news come out of the mouths of this news source since it is notorious at making things up.
Do you have any examples of the Liberty Times making-up news?
This fact, in and out of itself, is not really a problem. It is common that intel agency sat on their findings, and let some foreign news outlet report them.
It is common that Japanese media reports news from S. Korean sources, but S. Korean media did not get it first. By the same token, S. Korean and Japanese news media report news sourced from U.S. sources but U.S. media did not break it first. There are many N. Korea related news reported by S. Korea, quoting Japanese news media whose source is in S. Korea. U.S. media reports news on N. Korea, first reported by S. Korean media whose source is American.
This kind of things happen so often that I do not see it as a problem. Their credibility is just as good as any other news on the average.
I don't know what other problems it had in the past, but this is not the one.
