Ok, this answer right here concerns me. Do you really expect me to believe that a man as intelligent as you doesn't see how an owner of a business that produces a product, (especially media) can affect the end result of that product? That you cannot conceive why new ownership might affect a product leads me to question some of your other reporting. Plus, it's not as if Murdoch has the best record with media.

Thanks for the AMA! I watched a documentary of where a camera crew sneaks into NK to follow a doctor who was performing eye surgeries as a humanitarian mission. After the doctor performed hundreds of eye surgeries in this one town, curing hundreds of people of blindness caused by malnourishment, all the people were brought into a large room to have their bandages removed. The doctor then proceeded to bring people one by one up on a stage to remove their bandages so that they can see for the first time (I assume because the NK's told him to). After the doctor removed the bandage, each patient would fall to their knees and cry while praising a giant mural of Kim Jung Il and thanking him for restoring their sight. To me it seemed like all the people had been coached because person after person had exactly the same reaction, never thanking the doctor. My question is, from what you have heard, do you think all those people were coerced in some way to react like that? Or do a majority of the worse off people (aka low education), actually believe in the divinity of their Great Leader?

So when you're filming do you get aroused or is it hard to enjoy watching because you are concentrated on working? I feel like if I was a porn director I would feel very awkward
