I don't mean it's a good thing, it just has disproportionate coverage

The 84 year old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie was kidnapped a week ago. This is sad and worrisome. I am glad that my mother lived her long life without being kidnapped. Savannah is in the news field, so it's understandable that this is getting a lot of coverage. Also, "true crime" reporting is a big deal in the entertainment business. Still, I am peevish that this one kidnapping is getting so much concern when our tax dollars are paying for kidnappings every day. Is that a fair attitude to have?

In good news on the kidnap and remove pipeline, Rumeysa Ozturk had a final hearing and the immigration judge has stopped removal proceedings.

Good. Thank you for letting me know.

That is a fair attitude. Thanks for the Rumeysa Ozturk update though—last I heard they said they had no grounds to deport her but were going to anyway.
