Demagogue

Lest anyone think CNN was the only TV network that was anxiously awaiting the one-year anniversary of Natalee Holloway's disappearance in Aruba, here's Exhibit B -- from the home page of ABC News' website.

No doubt, ABC News was also eagerly repackaging the videotape it had filmed related to the 18-year-old's disappearance. Under its home page heading "Hot Topics," the one-year anniversary was one of five stories. Nothing new to report. It simply carried the headline: "The Natalee Holloway Mystery, One Year Later."

Natalie Holloway may not be alive, but the Missing White Girl genre is very much alive.
