Well why is she blaming herself. Is it because she is famous ( never heard of her before kidnapping) or is it because her political views.
Why do you ask? Would it matter which of those two motives were true if either was the actual motive? I highly doubt someone would abduct an old lady over her daughter’s political views? Since you never heard of her before her mother’s disappearance, is Savannah Guthrie really “famous” to you? If it was politically motivated, there are so many other media figures whose families would be at greater risk that Guthrie who is considered politically neutral. That opinion may not be shared by MAGA because she hurt their feelings after doing her job asking tough questions during a Town Hall event. I would think that anyone on The View, MSNBC or CNN would make a better politically motivated target.

So she is blaming MAGA, what a shock
She is part of whats wrong. She's a pinko and would support being soft on crime.

I think the brother was involved and is trying to throw some shade.
In the interview she said her brother immediately "thought" it was a kidnapping for ransom.
Smoke meet fire.
Seems obvious some family were involved, but it must have gone south, they killed her and have done a good job so far hiding her body.

I didn't see the regret in the article. Did you read that she didn't want the answer somewhere else?

If not, then how is she doing her job?

It is pretty suspect, but the family did pass polygraph examination. I just don’t buy the ransom narrative the family and police were stuck on. If I remember correctly this was one of the first kidnappings with a ransom in quite some time. Also, for Savanah being so rich, she never put up a large sum of money as a reward initially. There’s plenty of wealthy families out there and people aren’t kidnapping their family for money. They also admitted they used to play kidnapping games when they were kids. The mexico narrative is off too and the most credible lead was like 12 hours away in grand junction. When police and FBI have nothing it leads me to believe something is way off and not lining up with anything, especially in today’s world with cameras, technology, and everything else that makes it very stupid to do something like this. Not to mention again that the family were the last ones to physically see her and take her home.

That burden would be a lot to bear.
But ole baw definitely said the quiet part out loud.

You’re not the only one to express this sentiment - but to me, that’s just a lazy take .
The explanation as to the interest in this story is simple- millions and millions of people know who Savannah Guthrie is.. and by extension, they feel a little bit like they ‘know her’ to some extent .. whereas only a few people might know the 9 yr old girl who’s dad kidnapped her in Des Moines during a custody battle.. or the thousands of little boys raped over the decades by Catholic priests- some of us might know one of them, but they are not public people .. so the interest in the Guthrie story is 100% understandable and not out of line in any way .
Your take is not quite right. I don't think anyone is any more interested in this than any of these others stories/problems. The difference is because she is from tv and connected, it gets a ton of air time, therefore is what people are seeing and talking about. I think most people would probably rather hear much more on the stories involving children because those hit a little harder to home and more people could relate.

it’s my belief that she would never have intentionally put any of her family members in harm’s way
Let's be real, we are all a bit surprised that a wealthy/famous person allowed their elderly parent to live alone in what seems to be a semi-desolate area.
Isn't it common sense to have her in a gated neighborhood with security or in a luxury condo building with security? That is what I would do. Wouldn't you?

What ever happened with the Sheriff? Did he get recalled yet?

Chicken or the egg .
I think it’s the opposite- I think tv news feeds people more of what they want to see.. when the story first broke, there was massive interest- so the news stayed focused on it.. all the news, not just NBC… but the story has legs b/c there’s no comparable story in history (at least that I’m aware of) where a tv journalist/personality is in the middle of a story and a huge part of it .

I’ve only seen a couple news reports showing the home, but to me it looked like a neighborhood, albeit a neighborhood where each lot was a 1/2 acre to an acre large without neighbors right on top of you .
Besides, i dont get what you’re saying.. for example, my ‘elderly parent’, my dad, likes living on a huge plot of land in the middle of nowhere.. he has tractors and things he can tinker with.. if id somehow become a famous rock star or famous something else- I promise you my dad’s tastes and choices of where to live wouldn’t vary one bit based on how rich or famous I was.. if anything, id probably have bought him a bigger plot of acreage somewhere even more desolate lol .

If you were famous & rich, you would need to take some common sense steps. Perhaps, on the same acerage, you have a house for another family member who can keep an eye on things. You have a top tier security system and maybe periodic security guard visits. You have to do something.

Maybe it's anecdotal for me then. However, I wasn't any more interested in this story than any other. I have deliberately changed channels or disliked videos showing anything about it to get it off my YouTube feed, because the more they show the more I don't want to see it. In small talk, it seems like many others share my thoughts (To clarify, the small talk has always only occurred when in a room where a news clip happened to play on the tv, so it's not as though we brought it up randomly based on someone's interest).

That whole family is very fricking weird. Like the weird hand holding that borderline on intimate during their first video to her saying “mommy” like she’s a six-year-old child in her first video to the alleged kidnappers

So we still don't know what's going on with the mother correct?

I keep an arms length distance from this whole story. Children across this country are being murdered, molested, raped and abused.
I hope that elderly lady is ok and those that did this get brought to justice, but that’s an old millionaire’s issue. So much attention while people are dying in the streets doesn’t sit well with me.
What a stupid take.
By your logic, no crime stories should ever be covered by the media because there is OTHER crime is also happening to other people.
There is always a hot-button story getting national coverage. It could be some college students getting killed by a psycho, a child falls down a well, a teenager is missing, etc. No one can predict what story will get the attention of the masses. If people didn't care, they wouldn't cover it.
Almost any story you see on the news, there are similar things happening to other people somewhere else. Should none of it be covered?
