Natalee Holloway Case Is A Symptom Of A Larger Problem

The Post Chronicle ^ | 7/25/2005 | Jim Brogan
That is what nearly everyone has failed to address. No one has simply asked the standard question of why. Why was there no curfew and why were there no bed checks on this trip? If things had been better supervised, the beds might have actually have been checked at midnight. Natalee would have been missing then, and her chances of being found would have increased enormously. Instead, she was only discovered absent the following morning. Frankly, that is just not acceptable.

I have a friend who works with a Texas state agency that deals with missing people. To say they are frustrated by the amount of coverage Natalee Holloway, the runaway fiancee, Laci Peterson, etc., generate, while the families they work with are ignored by the MSM, would be an understatement. To quote her (she does read and post on FR, however she has deliberately refrained from participating in these missing persons discussions since it's close to her job): I can survey 20 people on the street, about a missing teen from Alabama, and many will immediately name Natalee Holloway.

So as not to barge in on other ongoing threads about these topics, particularly the first one, I thought I would start my very own thread to discuss some things, reasonably and rationally. As a fan of the weekly program Fox News Watch I've been very intrigued by many of the debates that have raged there over the past month. In one exchange recently, Neil Gabler (a liberal) remarked in his usual way that the media was being lazy in their coverage of the war and on terrorism in general. The rest of the panel concurred but Cal Thomas (a...

There is no new news...what is there to talk about?

Besides, I know of lots of missing people in the US who are of that age bracket..

Why isn't there the same energy about Baby Jane Doe here in the bay area (a while back police found a 14- year old hispanic girl dead, and couldn't identify her. Many cops in the department put in extra hours, time, etc off the books working on this case. To this day, she is still unidentified.)

They are of the same mold as my Repuke relatives, who are positive Bushco are doing right. They watch Faux News, don't read any newspapers (and are proud of it), dislike having any information sent to them and generally are just deliberately ignorant.

Of course, everyone feels empathy for this girl's family, but good grief!

Authorities in Aruba arrested Thursday the father of Joran van der Sloot (search), the 17-year-old held in connection with the disappearance of missing Alabama high school student Natalee Holloway (search). The arrest does not necessarily mean that authorities believe that Paul van der Sloot knows what happened to Natalee. But Aruban law gives authorities significant leeway to hold someone in custody without charging them with a crime as a way to find out more about an incident.

Houston search team on its way to Aruba By Pam Easton The Associated Press DICKINSON - Whether combing the flat, sparsely vegetated island of Aruba or diving somewhere in the Caribbean Sea, a volunteer search team from Texas plans to return with a missing Alabama teen. Four leaders of Texas EquuSearch were set to leave Houston late Wednesday for Aruba and join the search for Natalee Holloway, an 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Ala., who disappeared on the resort island three weeks ago. "We expect to be able to look at Aruba and see something that other people haven't seen," said...

Police Question Father of Dutch Teen Arrested in Case of Missing Teenager in ArubaBy Peter Prengaman Associated Press Writer Published: Jun 19, 2005 ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) - Aruban police questioned the father of a Dutch teenager held in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, hoping the island justice official may know something to help solve the mystery of what happened to the Alabama honors student, officials said Sunday. Paul van der Sloot was questioned Saturday night, said Police Superintendent Jan van der Straaten. "He was questioned as a witness, no more or no less," van der Straaten told The Associated Press....

4. I really don't get it.
It's tragic what happened to this girl, but it's not the most important issue.

When I got my new TV Dish, I had forget to delete FUX News and I swear everytime I passed that channel (or COURT TV w/ Nancy Grace's flaming nostrils) it the same shit.

Even my sister in law (who's isn't a freeper-type at all) was all concerned when they got back from Mexico. One of the frist things she asked my SO .... what's going on with the girl in Aruba?

:wtf:

5. They are conditioned to believe that the stories FOX NEWS features...
...are the only stories worth discussing. They aren't smart enough to realize that Natalie Holloway is a mass-marketed distraction, so they figure if FOX spends so much time discussing the case, then it must be important to all Americans.

In my newspaper internship in college, I was able to access the AP newswire unfiltered. To have 50 headlines screaming murder, shooting, death, kidnapping, etc, from all 50 states, staring back at you from a computer monitor is an eye-opener.

6. That is SO pathetic!
But I guess it just reflects the intellectual level of that half of America. They've been persuaded it's important, so...still, it's just grotesque, to care so much about that with all that's going on in the world.

7. FOX News Priorities: One Missing White Girl More Important Than.....
FOX News Priorities: One Missing White Girl More Important Than A Supreme Court Nominee Or A Traitor In The White House Compromising National Security

Last night, the entire second half of Hannity & Colmes was devoted to the "breaking news" about a lake being drained in Aruba as part of the search for Natalee Holloway. There were several FOX News Alerts on the same subject throughout the first half of the show. A discussion on the role of religion in Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' life and legal decisions received a fraction of the time. There was absolutely no mention of Traitorgate though it's obviously an important issue to Alan Colmes because he hosted Ambassador Joseph Wilson on his radio show immediately following H&C.

It's not like there hasn't been news in the Traitorgate story. On Monday, Associated Press reported that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card that the Justice Department had opened an investigation, then waited 12 hours to tell anyone else at the White House. Can you say paper-shredder? But that news went unreported while Sean and Alan and Jug and Beth Twitty, Natalee's mother and stepfather, analyzed the fine points of the Aruban investigation and whether or not it has been thorough enough.

Of course, the extended time gave Sean ample opportunity to show off his detective skills. "There's a couple problems I have with this (new witness') report. I believe it's probably accurate. This person has come forward late but we know that they lied on this point so that might help them. Can we (my empahsis) check phone records? Can we check the time of the chat that they had on IM? Have they been forthcoming in any of those ways to help you? ...Have we gotten any word back on those samples at all? ...Do we want to go back to the issue, revisit the issue of these two brothers which have been released here and yet we know that they lied and we know they obstructed? At this point in time, isn't it time to revisit their involvement in this case?"

Sean wasn't the only legal expert, of course. Jug and Beth were ready as ever to express their superiority over the Arubans and their sense of entitlement to dictate legal procedures. Once again, Beth revealed that she doesn't need a trial to know whether or not someone is guilty when she said, "We've been looking to - if I could use this term - to nail (my emphasis) the three (suspects) together at that time and so this would be huge..."

8. On a planet where tens of 1,000s of lives are wiped out on any given day
From War, Famine, Disease, Neglect, Murder, Suicide, Accidents and Execution, I guess to our freeper pals, the fate of one missing white girl trumps them all.

9. Is Greta Van Susteren Delusional?
Is Greta Van Susteren Delusional?

FNC's Greta Van Susteren took time out from her busy schedule of "reporting" on Natalee Holloway to give the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz a couple of quotes for his Monday (7/25) column. In the process, she provided readers of that column with a couple of real howlers.


snip


Here's Van Susteren on Roberts himself:

"He's distinguished himself in his career, but there's no novelty associated with him," Van Susteren says. "We've had white men who've gone to Harvard and been at the top of their class and are smart."


snip


But wait! It gets better! Here's Van Susteren explaining why the Holloway case continues to get big coverage on her program while Roberts's SCOTUS nomination is virtually ignored:

"I see it as a lesson in how we collect evidence," says Van Susteren, whose ratings have soared since Holloway's disappearance in late May. "Far more people are going to be touched by trial courts and police investigations than by Supreme Court decisions. I would not be so arrogant to think that only the Supreme Court matters. More people now know about Aruban law than they ever did before."

12. At this moment surfing the late night cable news shows they're all Natalee
Edited on Thu Jul-28-05 02:44 AM by norml
All of them are on Natalee Holloway and Aruba.

MSNBC is currently showing a computer graphic representation of the island.

Larry King is taking calls on it, and is talking with Beth and Jug's attorney.

Greta Van Susteren announced that "Male DNA has been found on a toothbrush belonging to Natalee Holloway".

I wonder what's on C-Span 1 and C-Span 2?

13. Gee whiz, you'd think in all the world there was nothing else going on
The freaking Tsunami that killed over 100k got less coverage than this :eyes:

But then how many of those people were 18 year old white chicks with blonde hair and blue eyes?

11. I can't even read this shit.
The format fits the content. As Bauhaus design principles state, form follows function.
