And then the north korean government dont tell [inaudible] the second cause, the poor environmental about media industry, as some have already said, too much competition between Media Companies and between people exist. And too little too much space on newspaper and too much time on tv news. So we have to write reports, whatever, everyday, every night. So sometimes well have enough time to verify the facts and check. Its reality. And i think some reporters have the first belief that North Koreans do not argue about their article. And then the last code i have, ideological [inaudible] i want to bring [inaudible] you know, everybody have their own view of north korea. So do the journalists.
