Missing Children not named Caylee Anthony
I think it's disgusting that the media ignores these kids, while obsessing endlessly over selected (and yes, equally tragic) disappearances.

I don't think it's realistic to expect the media to report on every single missing child, but I get your point.
I think they should have a show about missing children, similar to America's Most Wanted. |

Seems to a combination of how "sensational" the disappearance was and how vocal the family is about the disappearance.

I get your point and agree. That being said, the circumstances of this particular disappearance were completely bizarre. When the mom is a lying sack of shit certifiable nutcase, it makes for more media coverage.

I'm guessing Nancy Grace probably picks the ones that get the most attention.

I think it has everything to do with what "sells", and storyline has something to do with that, no doubt. But it has to be a face that can be marketed by the media. It's a disgusting thought to even say, but that's what it is. Pretty faces sell commericals. |

Heh... sadly, I think that's true. There is some TV producer that leads the charge on these stories. Someone in media is picking "winners" and "losers" when it comes to public support for finding these kids.

The only reason I know who Caylee Anthony is is because Nancy Grace has been beating it into the ground for 2 months.
