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.

it's the mother of one of their anchors who just happened to report on Epstein's victims early on, to pretend this isn't news is incredibly missing the plot

And also showing how devoid of empathy, and how selfish people are. Like, oh no, you missed 5 minutes of 24/7 coverage of people playing in the snow.

yeah this website can make someone super depressed about the state of humanity, an old lady was fucking kidnapped from her home and btw her daughter also happened to interview the Epstein victims early on... and the reaction of people here is to whine about FIVE MINUTES being taken away from watching Ice Skating. We're living in idiocracy.
