Love for Laura Ling and Euna Lee.
I've been watching the news lately as I'm sure most people have and last week I became aware of two American journalist who were captured and sentenced in North Korea for tresspassing. This caught my attention immediately after I heard this so I kept watching and as I continued to watch, CNN released the names of these two journalist: Laura Ling and Euna Lee. At first I was puzzled because I seemed to recognize one of the names and I couldnt seem to remember where I heard it from. So after the report ended I started surfing the channals and ended on Current tv trying to see what new topic they had playing. It was Current's very own Laura Ling and her report on Narco Drug War. I wasnt sure if this was the same woman that I was listening about moments earlier on CNN so I decided to look on Google and type her name in. A few moments later I sadly found out that this was the same woman I was just watching. I would explain my feelings as sorrow, but eventually turned quickly to confusion. I couldnt figure out why Current tv had stayed quiet on such a serious matter concerning one of their most prominant news journalist. I thought they would eventually have to address this tragedy but as days went on still nothing; not even a bulliten. So I just keep thinking over and over in my head "Where's the love for Lisa Ling and Euna Lee?"

Inappropriate?I had put up a few stories that were fact checked and cross checked many times before even posting the stories to make sure everything was accurate. Still current.com thought it was correct to take down the stories every single time I put them up.
I found that to be very sad, Laura as done very much for Current.com.
What is even worse is that they have started to run pods where she is on the air, leading people to believe that she is back on the job, not in prison.
For those of us who do get our news from the internet, we know what's up. But it's sad that Current.com seemed to abandon their own employee.
We have our prayers and thoughts with Laura.
I’m extremely mad.

Inappropriate?Have you two read the story about New York Times' struggle to silence Wikipedia from spreading news about its own kidnapped reporter? There was a greater purpose behind it. Publicizing the reporter's kidnapping adds greater value to him or her as a bargaining chip for the captor. Thus, if Current were to cover the kidnappings of Lisa and Euna, the publication would only reduce the chances of the two ever being released. While on the surface it appears heartless that Current is silent about the matter, the publication's intentions are only to help the journalists.
