Paris: Think About What Isn’t Covered

MSNBC had booked two interviews about the case of missing Stepha Henry in Miami yesterday, but cancelled them due to Paris coverage, and the guests were livid — so they blogged about it.

“I’m through with cable TV news. It’s a joke,” Miami Herald crime reporter David Ovalle writes.

Police spokeswoman Linda O’Brien adds: “I was listening to the Paris Hilton coverage to include discussion to the effect if anybody had seen or knew the whereabouts of her Chihuahua. Then they tell me they have to cut the piece, cut my interview because they’re doing constant coverage of Paris Hilton. I’m appalled that a missing woman cannot get even 60 seconds of air time because the priorities of MSNBC was to have footage of the front gates of Paris Hilton’s house.”
