This story is an embarassment. One person's death doesn't require this kind of coverage. I'm sorry if that sounds insensitive, but every day, thousands of people go missing or are dead before their time. The news media are not there to report these silly, pointless "storyline" stories, that are like "reality TV" versions of mystery stories and soap operas.

The media--particularly FOX, which is one of the few mainstream voices not in the bag for the libs--are asleep at the wheel as this country is dealing with important issues; a war unlike any other; giving aid and comfort to the enemy as accepted political "discussion"; choosing a judge for the most important judicial body in the land, whose decisions will affect MILLIONS, now and in the future; illegal immigration, and the LEGAL citizen patrolling of it filling in for the lack of government solutions; the economy, gay marriage, the WTC museum being controlled by moral relativists, the slow but definite leaning away from abortion "rights".

I'm sorry if it sounds insensitive, but one woman's disappearance--which wouldn't be news if she were fat, ugly and not blonde--doesn't deserve 1/100th of the airtime it's getting just so silly people can enjoy the suspense. Those infatuated with this story are ghoulish at worst, need more in their lives at best.

It is true they love flashing that lovely face up on the screen because they know people will stop what they're doing and look. Very ghoulish.

Great post. Enough is enough with this incredible waste of time with the media, in particular Foxnews, covering these most insignificant stories when we are in such a crucial time of our history fighting the war on terror and a having a lot of important domestic issues to deal with.

While this young girl's certain death and disposal (for whatever reason) is certainly tragic and wrong and needs to be concluded with several convictions, I think we ought to take a look at the whole story.

Why are we shipping our kids to Mexico and to places in the Caribbean and Central America without teaching them how to look after themselves? This lovely young lady went off with 3 locals in a private car after dark if the stories I hear are to be believed.

You wouldn't do that in downtown Detroit or DC or East St Louis or Miami or Watts or...

Where are the parents? What the hell are they teaching (or not teaching) their kids? My kids not going off to places like that without a significant lesson on looking after themselves. Going off like she did is tantamount to voting Democrat across the board. Only more immediate.
