Back in 2007, I sent out 43 reality shows that had never been seen on TV before and one was called The Reporters which had cameras follow Journalist as they go out to get news stories. My shows started airing all over TV on or after May of 2008 without permission, payment or credit. While more than 30 of 43 of these shows have aired on VIACOM owned channels, there was seveal shows that landed in the hands of other stations or some affiliated with VIACOM . I've known that this was my show since it first aired during the same time that the others aired but I expected there to be news coverage in America and would have never encouraged Jouranalist to go into danger zones that would cause harm to themselves. While many of the shows I created were life changing, never been seen on TV before shows, I never imagined that these shows would end up all over TV. I pray that the woman who were detained are released and I ask that everyone else prays for them as well. For the bible says that where two or three agree, GOD is in the Midst.

Anything less and he is a coward. I think Mr Gore needs to step up to the plate and offer himself in exchange of the two hostages. Anything less and he is a coward.

This is Al Gore's problem. Let him deal with it. This has all been caused by the poor judgement of private citizens and should not be allowed to impact the country's security and policies. Stand on the northern shore of the river and you remain safe in China. Cross over to the southern side and you're in North Korea, where crazy bad things happen. You're taking a personal risk by going there, like Tijuana but without the donkey shows. This isn’t the USA’s problem. This is Al Gore’s problem. Let him deal with it.

This was her first overseas assignment, and she only got it because she speaks Korean. Current hires beginners, pays shit, and throws them to the wolves. Laura's never been a journalist anywhere but Vanguard. Her EP used to be her sister's EP when she was at Channel 1. This is an outrage, but Current is to blame." http://gawker.com/5282606/laura-ling-and-euna-lee-convicted-sentenced-to-hard-labor-by-north-korean-court From a poster at gawker
