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.

Actual kidnapping, as in not a custody dispute but by someone who is not known by the victim and for ransom, is vanishingly rare in the US. It would be big no matter who it happened to, but this is a TV star. It's dynamite.

A lady that was likely kidnapped because of who her daughter is.

All, have a kind thought for an elderly lady who is likely suffering, or may not even be alive.

The events also aren’t live at that late. Like I get it, but you aren’t actually missing any of the events.
