Can someone please tell me why this Savannah Guthrie fiasco is newsworthy?

[Biggie Smiles]

Some old lady got kidnapped?

I don't give the slightest shit about her so why do I have to scroll past whinny news headlines on nearly every major news outlet for weeks now?

Because its loosely connected to the Epstein case.

That's why I think.

The only thing I'm really interested about is the reward which just jumped to 1.2 million.

 She had interviews with survivors. I haven't read too much about it yet....but I got that much.

 Her or her daughter had them. I'll have to read more about it.

 Okay so its Savannah who did the interviews and her mother Nancy is who was kidnapped.

Its been dominating the headlines because I suspect that immigration and crime are directly interwoven in this case.  The subtext I've been detecting in the articles and videos point in that direction.  She was kidnapped by a possible illegal and might be in Mexico.
