I am not trying to bash "the reds", who in any case are a very disparate and varied group, Klaus. As a journalist I believe it is my job to establish and report the facts, rather than skewing the truth to benefit one side or another. People can read what I say and make their own decision about my credibility. If some people choose to condemn me for this approach, so be it.
I have no doubt that most of Kritsuda's story is true. I just think it was a mistake to exaggerate some aspects of it.
