Not quite. The NRC is one of the most respectable newspapers, yes. It is however citing another newspaper, the Telegraaf, which is not quite as respectable. That said, they probably wouldn't publish this unless they were somewhat confident about the story.

Seriously? I missed that part. That's cheeky...

Nope, it isn't. It is from the website of what used to be a respectable newspaper, which is in fact run independently from the newspaper itself.

And, as has been mentioned elsewhere, all this article is doing is quoting from a highly disrespectable tabloid.

Nothing respectable about this report at all

(though it's probably not untrue either).

But the "most respectable" newspaper quotes in this article the least respectable one.

Also the Dutch are the really tall ones

Correct, thanks.
