uhh

Uhh... what? She started staying with Emmanuel after a while on her on free will. The jury is out to whether or not she ran or way to begin with.
 
yeah they also had something on fox news on her err maybe it was on one of the others.

but anyway they had a report on her. I dint give a flying fvuck about her.

i always wounder why she was in the news so long? there was other kids taken in the same time but they weren't on TV as much as this little brat.

ooh well

The public is too stupid to follow more than a couple of big stories at a time and readily eat up whatever the media decides to throw down their throat as the news bite of the moment.

I equally gave little damn about her. I assumed she'd died, and hoped she didn't, but she touched my heart no more than any other child who has gone missing.

And needless to say jessica lynch's ordeal is not newsworthy in the least.
 
I was just going to post about Elizabeth Smart. I don't understand why she didn't escape, I mean - when you are in that situation, fight or flight kicks in. When you're in public, you do something about it. Also - now her parents are making money off of this with books and tv movies? ugh.

Did I miss something? Yeah, I often wondered why she got so much more coverage than anyone else who was kidnapped, but why is everyone here like...pissed at Elizabeth Smart? Jesus...you people are weird...

why?

easy. she could have got away any time she wanted, the media felt the need to cram her down our damn throats 24/7, there was many other kids taken during this time and they were NOT on TV.

the reason she got so much media coverage is a) she was white b) she was cute c) she is from a wealthy family. if she was a black girl from downtown Chicago they wouldn't care. oh wait there was a girl from downtown Chicago that didn't get ANY media coverage.

The media just kept on about her. it got tiering. at the end i didn't really care that they found her. granted i was happy she was alive but i was more glad that it was finally over so i could stop hearing with her.

just wonder when they will have the Smart movie? sheesh.

Um...that would make you pissed at the media, not the girl.

It's not Elizabeth's fault she's white, cute, rich, and whatever else you listed. She didn't choose the amount of media coverage while she was fscking KIDNAPPED.
