How embarassed should the media be over "pretty girl missing" coverage?

LBN thread here

First let me say that I hope the best for her and we will probably see the time that they were going to use to cover the search with the "Why did she do it?" discussion....ad naseum.

CNN MSNBC and NBC were in full "waiting for the corpse", no matter what they want you to think, mode.

Aside from that I think that they may finally be forced to reassess which abduction and disappearance stories get coverage. The "pretty girl" (preferably blonde) gets the nod and if she is from a rich or sort of rich family that pushes it over the edge.

So what do you think?
