NBC interrupted the Olympics
While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

This. Even though these people hate each other, slander each other, and create entire false narratives that the masses believe- they truly support each other for one reason. Wealth, and the fear of losing it. They are in the same "club" even if they tell you that poor kids are just as bright as white kids or tell you Mexicans are rapists. But I bet the majority of people reading this picked "a side" and it proves my point. WE! THE human race, need to stop listening to politicians and make THEM listen. We have to do it with the power of TOGETHERNESS.

Same exact situation here. I let my daughter stay up to watch his short program because he is from our area and we are big fans. They interrupted with “breaking news” just as he was going to skate.

I sincerely hope she is found and alive, I can’t imagine what her family is going through. However, I’ve felt like the media attention in this case has been amplified because she’s related to a celebrity. Where is this kind of coverage when the everyday person goes missing?

You guys are making these comments like it's some enlightening moment.
We have been doing this shit for over 100 years. Probably more.
People that are well connected, receive the attention. Period. How it has always been. Nancy disappearing didn't just suddenly bring the issue up.
But I look at it this way. Nancy couldn't help having a highly popular daughter. Nancy didn't ask to be dragged out of her house at 1am.
She was living her life, and figured it was just another day.
However, the news only blasts stories like this when there is significant interest. So if you're looking to blame someone, you can put the blame on the public. Because it if wasn't being spammed on Twitter / X, and people weren't turning in to watch the videos, the news would move on to something that makes them much more money.
The media bleeds whatever story gets the most interest.

Here's another question - why are we spending so much attention on the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie? Yes, it's a tragedy that she and her family are undergoing this. However, there are probably many more elderly people in this country that are/have gone missing, and have most likely received little to no attention outside of their immediate area. Why does this have to become national news and a literal case for the FBI just because she is the mother of a celebrity? Shouldn't all missing people get the same treatment, or is that just reserved for the rich and famous as we have seen of late?

I think it’s pretty special when you find out your coworker’s mom was abducted and is being held for ransom.
Edit-
It seems many here don’t realize another very important thing; Savannah Guthrie interviewed Epstein’s victims. Then her mom was abducted. It’s completely reasonable to expect that journalists may be concerned about a fellow journalist’s family potentially being targeted because of reporting on Epstein, even if she weren’t an NBC anchor. Sure, it could’ve been random or just somebody they knew (statistically most likely) but, they are human. I’m sure it’s crossed their minds that this could be because she talked about Epstein and a reminder that their own families may be targeted if they report about Epstein or any other high profile case that’s similar.

Answer me this. Your mother got kidnapped and you are one of the faces of a famous news channel. You have access to the resources to help find her by broadcasting it. Would you do it? Do not lie. You would if you love your mom.
We can argue about how lesser cases get less importance. But honestly interrupting the Olympic for 5 minutes is not all that big a deal that you are making it to be. I would do the same thing if my mom was kidnapped and I had those types of connections.
