    MSM doesn't feed us food we don't want to eat.

    NPR does, which is why they have .03 percent the market that MSM does.

    It's not the media's fault. It's the consumers.

    All of the above.

    Every white woman in newsroom seems enthralled by this story.

    I asked, while we all in “the pit” as to why. Definitely a vibe of when a young woman takes a long trip with a significant other and there is always a slight fear of being chopped up.

    I say this all the time. The consumers drive the bus on this.

    I blame Lifetime movies. And soccer.

    The next day? Shit, the cops would have been waiting for him in the driveway with tasers, nooses and Fox News reporters.

    This was referenced on another thread, but who decided they were "YouTube stars?"

    I looked the channel up. They had posted one video, which was pretty poorly constructed.

    Whatever you do, don’t check out the r/GabbyPetitio subreddit. Or do, if you’re a voyeur like me who wastes his life wondering WTF is wrong with people.

    I don’t think Gabby-concerners and Qanon dipshits are exactly the same circle, man you sure as hell can see the same flawed logic that builds upon itself. They go from “What’s the fiancé’s name again?” to Jason Bourne skills secret agent in an hour.

    OP: “What are the odds that two campers would get murdered in Moab AND Brian would murder Gabby in Wyoming AND they’d find a dead body behind an Alabama dumpster in a town where someone thought they maybe kinda sorta spotted Brian yesterday?”

    No. 2: “Well poster, my cousin is a police officer in training and he said those odds are zero. The real question is, who did Brian kill in Alabama? I assume it’s the guy who gave him a ride, or maybe it someone who recognized him and Brian killed this person to keep up his escape.”

    The same panel that determines if a banana republic leader is a “strongman.”
