Two American journalists from Current TV, Euna Lee and Laura Ling, were released from North Korea following a visit by former President Bill Clinton. The segment characterizes the journalists' actions as a reckless attempt to generate a story for Al Gore's struggling media company. The public statements made by the journalists upon their return are mocked for their focus on "positive energy" and "vibes" rather than the geopolitical reality of their capture.
