Why does it even have to be about race?  The story has my interest because it's so bizarre.  The "news" anchor/opinion host also thinks that CBP is using whips on illegal Haitian aliens because they are black.  It's not even close to true.

The whole "white privilege" and "white supremacy" narrative pushed by the left is getting pretty old.

It seems obvious that the Gabby Petito story is all over the news because Gabby Petito was a very attractive young woman.  There's nothing inherently important about her disappearance.   People disappear all the time.  But when it's a very attractive young woman, preferably blonde, the media go full-plane-crash-mode.  Because the media loves pretty faces.  Pretty faces draw viewers and internet clicks.

Joy Reid might call it "missing white woman syndrome."  I would call it "missing blonde syndrome."  The cuter the girl, the more news coverage it gets.  It has nothing to do with white supremacy.  It has to do with how the media attracts viewers.

I somewhat agree with you, except for the part in bold.  The Taylor Rose Williams story was also covered nationwide.


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
