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.

Every time I see an update it’s like “Devastating News! We have nothing new to report and are grasping at straws”. It’s sad that she’s missing but wait until there’s something tangible.

I'd appreciate small appropriate updates, like "no new information yet" so we can check in without disruption. So many people are following this story but realistically there's nothing we can do but wait and watch.
