Missing women: Why the hype? Critics say TV news overplays stories

Wouldn't it be a truer statement if they also said "white?" The lack of discussion on this topic does a disservice to the people. It would be time better spent if the media decided that black people and men go missing too. If you watched the news or read people magazine, you'd think that this country is filled with crazed kidnappers that target attractive white women. Is that true? Don't ask the media b/c they're too lazy to report on it. Not to say that if I were the father of one of those who went missing that I wouldn't feel better if Katie Couric wasn't repeating her name 100 times in a week. It is to say that it's too bad that the media chooses to ignore so many other important stories with victims that don't fit a demographic.
