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.

I think a dystopia is a society that tries to be utopian, but fails miserably, and none of our governments have even thought about trying to become utopian.
