Runaway Bride

As I was watching the news this morning, I was completely put off by the fact that the biggest news story of the day was that missing/runaway bride. Puh-lease!! Of the hundreds of other things that happened in the course of the week, that was the one thing the network had decided was the top news story?

#1 She made up a story about being kidnapped by a Hispanic guy and a Caucasian woman in their forties. What if the police had actually arrested a couple of people based on their descriptions in the Albuquerque area??

#2 She bought the greyhound ticket over a week ago. If you have enough forethought to buy a bus ticket, get a little backbone and call off the wedding!

#3 How many millions of other cold feet brides have stood their husbands up at the alter? Why is this one so special that she gets news coverage? Could it possibly be because they are loaded? I have reason to believe, that's probably the case. Now, consider this, her search became a nation wide search. The parents of an abducted child could possible have missed their chance to find their child alive because of her stunt, and the wasted time spent looking for her by law enforcement.

I could go on, but enough time has been dedicated to this. Shame on the news crews for not being able to actually show some news worthy stories. A story like this is best left to late night talk shows.
