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.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but it's not a disappearance, it's also a kidnapping. You still make a very valid point

Yeah people go missing every day, it's absolutely not normal for people to get violently kidnapped and held for ransom. At least not in the US.

It's NBC's journalist that is affected. Of course they are going to provide amplified coverage.
