Bob Costas

(AP) While some cable TV hosts are making their living off the Natalee Holloway case this summer, Bob Costas is having none of it.

Costas, hired by CNN as an occasional fill-in on "Larry King Live," refused to anchor Thursday's show because it was primarily about the Alabama teenager who went missing in Aruba. Chris Pixley filled in at the last minute.

"I didn't think the subject matter of Thursday's show was the kind of broadcast I should be doing," Costas said in a statement. "I suggested some alternatives but the producers preferred the topics they had chosen. I was fine with that, and respectfully declined to participate."

3. Right on!

I'm sick of this thinly veiled exploitation.
I felt the same way about the whole Scott Peterson fiasco too.

I mean, they should report missing persons on the news for the one reason that it may help in finding them.

But this constant coverage of every tiny detail -this constant "analysis" is disgusting and totally lacking in class or dignity.

which is of coarse why FOX is all over it!

Gotta love Costas...even if he is from St Louis and a lifelong Cardinal fan.
