North Korea Sentences 2 Journalists to 12 Years of Hard Labor »

caro:

brieflynoted:

This is a major story that should be getting more attention than it is. I’ve been watching the Today Show for an hour now and nothing has been said about it. I know Today is not America’s #1 source for breaking news, but such a story involving two innocents put in the middle of a political standoff should carry the morning’s headline and discussion- not national BFF day, the $232 million lottery winner, or Susan Boyle’s breakdown. I’m disappointed.
