The media has a business interest in caring about Gabby Petito.

If the MSM has a business interest, they would not be producing 98% BS.

The good news is they are slowly choking and dying on their own BS.

Erick Erickson is too stupid to register on the IQ scale.

Women in Domestic Violence and Toxic relationships often return to those even when warned or helped out of them. Even when their own children are abused they still remain or return.

This case is apparently a Domestic violence case and won’t be the first one by any means.

The Chandra Levy disappearance consumed the media for months in 2001, until the first plane hit the WTC on September 11. Twenty-four hours a day, Chandra Levy. Then suddenly, she was gone. You didn’t hear another word about her for many weeks.

The 24/7 cable news thing is sick, and incredibly destructive.

True, but 9/11 was a tragic world-changing event by a deadly enemy (Islam--not just Bin Laden) who, as it turned out, was not punished.

The very next year, Lacy Peterson's husband killed her, and then people could NOT get enough news about it. Nattalie Holloway in 2005, Casey Anthony's baby in 2008, etc., etc.

The 24/7 cable news thing is sick, and incredibly destructive.

Agree 100%! Still, people want these types of stories, too.

Natalee was NOT the last obsession over a blonde white girl missing/killed.

She was the last one with a great parody usage of her name: “Natalee & Colmes”

I think the media has a bit obsession with highlighting tragic stories of pretty young blonde white girls. Because I can’t think of any “human interest” murder media roll-out for any other type of person.

It’s not “racist”, as in mean/superior, but it seems to be a compulsion.

Chandra Levy was not a blonde girl - a Jew - true, but I think the main thing for her was GARY CONDIT DID IT!

Also, media were alternately obsessed with her AND with SHARK ATTACKS.

Then the Moslem attack happened. Much bigger more important story.

Instead of two weeks later per usual, EE is exactly 24 years late.

This cult-of-death-worship started with Princess Diana.

“some of her hundreds of thousands of followers “
From what I understand they only made one travel blog and a few Tik Toc twitter posts. They were aspiring travel bloggers, not established ones.

So he thought her disappearance was funny?

He wasn't making fun of the actual crime, which by the time he did the routine was something everybody knew about. He was making the point that if the missing girl is a pretty blonde, she will dominate the airwaves. I had never seen this comedian before (he died from a stroke about 10 years ago), but I found him surprisingly funny.

There are hundreds of young couples doing YouTube vids of their travels. The better ones actually make a living out of it.
