Natalee Holloway

I'm not writing this because I'm somehow deeply concerned about the outcome of this case. Naturally, I hope she's found safe and alive, or that whatever the truth is her family can uncover it since it would provide much needed closure. Rather, I'm writing to complain about the overwhelming media coverage this case has received. Frankly, it's undeserved. Coverage of these types of stories has grown more and more common in recent years, among some news casts even replacing traditional and germane information about the world. In many influential American news circles, it appears this case has received more attention than the G8 summit which President Bush will be attending. It would be nice if the media simply dropped this case already; yea it's sad, and yeah it's important for the family, and yes it's a tragedy, and I could continue downplaying this for a long time. I mean, there are so many cases like this every year, so it's a tad odd this one has received such great amounts of attention. Get back to real stories.....those that involve geopolitical or geostrategic occurrences would help.
