A public event and this leaflet said there are millions of slaves in the world today and i looked at it and i thought that that cant be true everyone knows slavery is finished it finished in the nineteenth century. that claim led to years of research. bales entered a parallel world that he didnt think could possibly even exist. and that began for me a process of digging into the issue to look at the numbers first and i discovered it was true and that led me to see many things that horrified me w...

Thats pretty low bar there. the media is not entitled to worship. its not entitled to respect as an institution. it is not entitled to deference by political leaders, is entitled under the first amendment to say what it wants to say. thats it. the notion that the press is somehow specially protected by the first amendment and the institutional press, than mainstream newspapers and tv networks, that they have a special status is ridiculous. >> sandra: do you think is a good strategy by the presid...

Packed with western news clips about north koreas brutal atrocitys to attack south korea and music videos of how the west views the regime. for years, park, a north korean defector has launched the bag across the border they drop into north korea with the hope of reaching north koreans, if it does, it challenges the regime. this is all koreans see their entire life. one television station exists in north korea. the r "the interview" shatters the reveered image says park, a silly comedy to the we...

Korea. how did they tell you that this helps? >> its interesting, because obviously like in any defector situation, whether its cuban exiles in miami or defectors from north korea, people have different opinions about what works and what doesnt work. we take the approach that we should go on all levels trying to use smuggling routes, trying to use radio and at the same time trying to use balloons. many of the people you actually see in those photographs received a brochure, received a leaflet an...
