'MISSING WHITE WOMAN SYNDROME': Don Lemon, Joy Reid criticize Gabby Petito story over race
Joy Reid argued that the Petito case an example of "missing white woman syndrome."
During Monday night's broadcasting of popular CNN and MSNBC shows, hosts Joy Reid and Don Lemon argued that the case of Gabby Petito, and the subsequent national attention the case has garnered, is evidence of widespread racism in the United States.
During The Reidout with Joy Reid, she argued that the Petito case is an example of "missing white woman syndrome," a term reportedly coined by the late PBS host Gwen Ifill.
Petito, who has been missing since late August after going on a cross country van trip with her fiancé, is presumed dead after remains were found in the Bridger-Teton National Forest that were "consistent with" the description of missing 22-year-old Petito.
"Now it goes without saying that no family should ever have to endure that kind of pain, and the Petito family certainly deserve answers and justice," said Reid. "But the way this story has captivated the nation has many wondering, why not the same media attention when people of color go missing?"
"Well, the answer actually has a name, missing white woman syndrome, the term coined by the late and great Gwen Eiffel, to describe the media and public fascination with missing white women like Laci Peterson or Natalee Holloway, all ignoring cases involving missing people of color," Reid continued.
Reid, talking with guests on her show Derrica Wilson, co founder and CEO of the Black and Missing Foundation, and Lynette gray bull, founder of Not Our Native Daughters, pointed to the case of Daniel Robinson, who went missing in Arizona after last being seen leaving his job site in June, as an example of what she's talking about.

My guess would be Hannah Nightengale.
Correction. Missing HOT white girl syndrome. No one would care if she were some fat white woman killed by Darquarius in Baltimore.
Why should we not be concerned about our own people?
We are still hearing about German Eastern territories policy. We are still hearing about Emmett Till.
Nothing wrong with caring for your own people.
If their ratings go low enough can we get a Missing Black TV Host Syndrome?
I would gladly watch stories about Don Lemon, Joy Reid, and others if they were missing.
People like true crime. Crime TV ratings are always high. This murder is unusual and people are sick of hearing about Covid. Trump. Biden. This has nothing to do with race.
Lol! Me, too! 🍿🍿🍿!
Now THAT’S Must- See Tv!
If she’s so excercised about it, why doesn’t she get off her fat duff and do some investigative reporting about the horrors of sex trafficking faced by the illegal immigrant women and children, or the 70 native American women who have disappeared. You don’t like it? Do the work to change it. Nobody wants to hear your complaining.
Actually it’s “missing cute blond white woman syndrome”. The problem is that the MSM networks aren’t covering missing black women. They don’t need permission from Fox to do so.
More like “Missing Attractive Woman Syndrome”. Something this miserable race baiting commie would never qualify for
This poor woman’s death has been reported on everywhere so the dumb people can be entertained and not think about how their country is literally in the toilet circling the drain. It helps that it’s a young, cute blonde as well. They are right to a certain extent about race…. The media would love to throw up a missing black woman but most people wouldn’t be interested in it, and people like Joy Reid know it and it pisses them off.
