Real or Fluff?

With the ABC news video that we watched, I think that the news report about the 85 year old man that was kidnapped while in North Korea site seeing is “fluff” because he was the second guy to be kidnapped.  I feel like that there are more American people that visit North Korea, so why did they not get kidnapped?  I mean, I could be wrong about how many American’s visit North Korea but there was barley any information about the situation.  The ABC News did not show any other interviews shown.  The news cast did not seem too concerned about this story and had little information.

The story that was being covered by ABC News I thought that was real news was when they were talking about how hospital bills are out of control and that the reason they are is because the people who cannot pay for them are picked up from other people who can.  I feel like this is a huge story and has a lot of truth behind it because it seems to be affecting a lot of people’s lives.  It said that hospitals are charging people fifteen dollars for a pill that they bought for only three cents.  That is outrageous!  They also had people come forward with their own personal issues with the bills they receive from hospitals.  Yeah, insurance helps but it can only help so much and yet it still leaves people having to pay huge amounts of money that will take years to pay off.  This story seems to be a very important issue that most people can relate to and I feel like the ABC News cast is concerned and willing to keep up on it because they say that they will and ask for people to send in their story about the issue.
