This rant is a bit off topic, but I am really taken by how badly social media influencers have inserted themselves into the tragic disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Savanah Guthrie’s mother. We don’t know what happened to Nancy and 31 days on, things do not look good. No communications has been verified as coming from the perpetrators and the investigation seems to have little direction.
While I do not know Savannah, I’ve met her several times and she’s always been an extremely kind person, but beyond that, this isn’t just a celebrity story: it’s a tragic story of a family trying to find their mother, who was taken, apparently by malicious persons meaning harm. it’s a nightmare.
But for those who want to appoint themselves web sleuths? For social media influencers? For those who want to be thought of as an expert and have a YouTube channel/blog post/podcast to sell? There’s no limit to the baseless speculation and repeated attacks on the Guthrie family, especially her son in law and persons who are only guilty of being part of his life. These egotistical self-promoting vultures do not seem to see any harm in what they are doing.
Do not upvote, subscribe or even engage with these idiotic and useless videos. That’s what gives them an audience and promotes them via YouTube and social media algorithms.
