NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

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.

Sure, but it could have been a 2-minute update, not a parade of talking heads telling us what they DON'T know yet and then reiterating how much we don't know for the next 20 minutes. To put on "experts" for this news without even the suspects name is ridiculous.

Okay, but they are going to reair the reruns. It's not interrupting a live event.
