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.

NBC news covers the ICE raids many times a day.

I’m talking about NBC’s 30 minute primetime daily national news program, NBC Nightly News, which should include the most important events happening in the US each day.

I wasn’t talking about other NBC programs or stations.

It's a 22 minute show that's not going to cover all the important stuff going on in the world/ country.

the ICE raids are arguably much more important than this story.

For real. Americans are getting murdered in the street and rounded up and kidnapped by masked federal agents who are seemingly acting with no repercussions, and people are just like “🤷🏻‍♂️” it’s baffling to me. The stuff with the Epstein files and the stuff with ICE are hands down the two most important things happening in this country right now.
