[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It could be SIL with one of his band mates. Band mate has a rap sheet of burglary and embezzlement. I don’t think that they thought this case would have so much media attention. SG would just send the funds and then they would release NG. If it was them, then SIL took extra meds for her and she is fine. Might be hiding in Mexico while waiting for ransom to come in. [/quote]

I don’t understand why people don’t think this case would not get much media attention. Savannah has hosted the opening ceremony and been a huge part of the Olympics for the last decade. She also has hosted presidential debates and anchored NBC coverage on election nights. These are events that get HUGE viewership around the country. she also hosted the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade which hundreds of millions of Americans have on in the background of their Thanksgiving preparations.

Most Americans are very familiar with Savannah Guthrie. She’s not as popular as Taylor Swift, but most Americans are going to know her and are going to be interested that her 84 year old mother was forcibly dragged from her home in the middle of the night.

Further, she hosts a national morning television show. Do you actually think that the today show wasn’t going to lead their coverage with our colleague’s Mom was kidnapped and taken from her home??!?!

Of course this was going to get national and sustained coverage. It was no surprise that the president called us out and offered her condolences.

No one with any common sense thought this wasn’t going to be a huge news story. [/quote]

It was no surprise the president posted about it? Disagree. If anything this is one aspect highly suspect. When has he expressed sympathy for anyone? Hell he basically said Rob Reiner deserved to be murdered bc he didn’t support him politically. 
I would have expected president to say nothing at all or call this fake news. [/quote]

This is what I find suspicious also: you would expect Trump to save it served Guthrie right or something. Very out of character for him to express sympathy for anyone. [/quote]

I disagree. My mother is MAGA and this story resonated with her. It scares seniors and therefore trump voters. And, did trump proactively issue a sympathetic statement? I don’t think so, he was asked about it by another reporter….because again it is big news that people are following, and said something.

Savannah is not exactly a hard hitting journalist. The Today Show does not really get into politics. The first 20 minutes is news, but they report on it quickly and move on, they don’t do commentary like morning Joe or anything and don’t share their opinions. Then they move onto light banter, weather, a lot of pop culture and feel good human interest stories, and basically repeat the same news stories at the 8 o’clock hour. I doubt Trump has a lot of angst about Savannah. I don’t recall him insulting her like other female journalists. [/quote]

What, pray tell, does your MAGA mother have to do with anything?  I would imagine all seniors have reason to be concerned not just your MAGA relative

Trump is inserting himself where he is likely to do considerable harm by announcing that there are clues.  He should leave the investigation and dissemination of information to the professional law enforcement enforcement officers investigating the case.

I’m simply making a point that it’s not odd for trump to be expressing sympathy as this is an issue that crosses both sides of the political divide and both the right and left have expressed sympathy. Fox News has had sympathetic coverage (which is how Trump probably found out about it) and hasn’t attacked savanna and everyone seems to be concerned that a frail grandmother was forcibly taken from her home.

I don’t buy a conspiracy theory that he is using it to distract from anything. He simply was asked a question and expressed sympathy. It’s not as if he’s been fixated on it. I just think it’s a pretty simple issue that most people find horrifying at this point doesn’t seem to be political. [/quote]
