From what I've heard, al Jazeera is actually supposed to be pretty trustworthy. I think the B.S. flow likely originates from the source on this one

Why?
track record.
with that said I dont trust alot of mainstream US news sources either.
As for this particular story, I dont believe it, 70 years with no food or water. no way.

I just think the story is nonsense(non newsworthy), take that for what its worth.

lol... actually both are about the same to me.
they did get a better picture of that character making the claims though, in the Al jazeera photo he looks like he is on his death bed(not a ringing endorsement of his claims)
