This Takes the Cake

Last night, I was watching NBC News, and they come on with this report about how black and brown people are being left out of all the reporting about missing people.  And they point to the Gabby Petito case as an example of how the news media focuses on one type of person while ignoring another type of person.  Which is all true, but what got me was, the people running that report (NBC News) are the same people who decided to go full-plane-crash-mode on Gabby Petito.  And they're the same people who go full-plane-crash-mode on every missing hot young blonde woman.  What chutzpah!  "Isn't this terrible what we're doing!  It's all society's fault."  

I wanted to reach through the screen, grab Lester Holt by the lapels of that $5,000 suit, and say, 

"Lester!  You're the one making these decisions, not me!  If what you're doing is wrong, why don't you stop doing it?"  

I know I over-use the term "self-awareness," but Jeesus!  Where is the self-awareness?
