What is it about Natalie Holloway?
OK, it is a tragedy to have anyone missing and this young lady had much of her life in front of her.
What's the deal with all the news coverage? I mean teenagers go missing all the time and are often the victims of terrible crimes but why aren't others so news worthy? Is it because she's a cute blonde teenager? is it because her parents could aford to send her to Aruba? Why doea America care more about this young lady then so many far more tragic situations? |

Internet! Is that thing still around?

I think it's because her Mom is beating the pavement keeping the story going.

I think the media uses it when they run out of real news anymore. This has been going on for months. Factor in an earthquake or a few hurricanes and you don't hear anything about her or Aruba. Once that is no longer interesting to their viewers they bore use with the same stories we have heard a hundred times on the "breaking news" in Aruba.

I saw her mother on Dr. Phil. On the same show he called for a boycott of Aruba by Americans. I thought that was redicilous. Then again, I'm tired of seeing that girl's mother on television and am tired of Dr. Phil giving advice, whoring his books, and pushing advertisments on his viewers during his talks (Wow, Daisy Fuentes has a clothing line. How convenient they can mention that while helping this girl with her low self-esteem).
To his credit he did do a show on missing non-caucasian women.

I was tired of hearing about her about 3 days into it.
Think of all the non white women and all the children that have went missing or been victims of violence since Holloway disappeared. Thing is, we probably can't think of many of them, because their faces haven't been on cnn a zillion times. I don't mean to sound like I don't feel for her family. I am a parent, and I can't imagine the nightmare. At the same time, this is rather like the whole Elizabeth Smart thing again in terms of media coverage. |

60 minutes had a story on this and asked why the media only covers certain stories. Never got a real answer, but they did have on the head of the network and asked him right out about the race issue. When they aired it there was a young black girl who was missing for the same period of time and she got maybe 10 mins worth of coverage. When they asked why, he stated that it was very hard for the news to cover all the missing cases. When they asked why cover one more then others, he admitted it was about ratings and from their polls pretty young blonde hair blue eyes prom queens are more likely to get the sympathy viewer then the unemployed on welfare with 10 kids from 10 dads minority.

Of course it was also disclosed yesterday that besides the NY subway plot being a fake - now the "supposed letter" between the terrorists in Iraq was faked by the Bush Admin as well. I think it was one of the newsmen for MSNBC that blogged the 13 times that we have had a warning or raised the "threat level" and the all were within hours or days of some bad news for the administration - just coincidence though Im sure |

It's one thing to do the alerts but to keep trying to make us believe that terroists are sitting in Iraq planning on attacking the US 9,000 miles away instead of the troops in thier backyard? That's just silly. |

SirMoby - I was just reading today that the purported letter between the Al Quaeda 2nd in command and some guy in Iraq running the terrorist cells - that was brought out by the US a few days ago as an intercepted letter - is also fake - they had an Arab language expert look at it and the terms that were used in it or not terms that any Al Quaeda would ever stoop to using - he said it was written by someone trying to sound like they were involved but two words that were used were actually written wrong and turned out to be an insult in their language - and insults that no one would come close to using addressing someone in a leadership role of the terrorists
