I'm not trying to be disagreeable -- I just disagree. I would give them a "D". The only reason for not going with an "F" is because they have kep this story alive. The bad part is...

...IT'S ALL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!

It's not like there's a war going on with American soldiers involved, or anything.

The media is responding to America's hunger for Hollywood drama. Perfect case: young blond American goes missing in idyllic island paradise. You know the rest. High drama.

You darn right they have to keep this story alive. If it didn't get round the clock coverage, it would grow cold and disappear. Natalee's parents don't want that, and neither do many of us. We know the boys are in someway responsible for her disapperance...if only because they lied at the beginning about where they dropped her off...duhh.

You'll get your wish if this case isn't resolved shortly.

Yes and there was a soldier killed today and an 8 month old baby and I think they said 38 others. Gee, how did I know that? Oh yeah because the media REPORTED it. How can that be, if they don' ttalk about anything other than the NH case? Right now they are talking about Seattle and a court house lock down. Gee, guess the media isn't as bad as you want to portary them. Tired of the NH story? They maybe you are on the wrong thread.
