The Issue: The ongoing investigation into the abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
The endless coverage of the Nancy Guthrie disappearance omits the logical ("Sheriff: This could take years to solve," Feb. 16).
A woman with known heart issues is abducted. There are early demands for a large ransom, deadlines pass. All quiet for a while, then there's a lower demand for Bitcoin in return for information.
The working theory should be that she's already dead, and the kidnappers are trying to salvage something from this.
It's time to tone down the constant reporting and make it easier on the family by not having it in their faces 24/7.
Law enforcers have been finding clues that lead nowhere. Then, we were informed there was no camera footage. Miraculously, 10 days later, we see a video of a man in a ski mask on the camera.
Are you kidding me? Something stinks, and I think a lot of people may feel the same way.
After enduring over six years of unending daily reporting on the Jeffrey Epstein saga, the thought of similar daily "breathless breaking news" on the Guthrie case for the coming years is enough to drive one to drink.
The sheriff leading the search for Guthrie reportedly admitted the case could take years to solve. One way to expedite the resolution of the case is to fire this dimwitted sheriff.
I truly feel sorry for the Guthrie family and pray their mother, Nancy, gets home safe and healthy.
That being said, this story is on every station all day. Meanwhile, there are other families experiencing the exact same thing, but all we hear in those cases is crickets.
I have a question, especially for Fox News reporters: Do you think Savannah Guthrie would cover the story on her show if it was one of your mothers?
President Trump has stated he will seek the death penalty for the kidnappers if Nancy Guthrie isn't released alive ("Trump vows death penalty," Feb. 17).
Those involved had better come to terms with their deeds as they will be caught; however, we wish for Nancy Guthrie to be released, hopefully alive.
Unfortunately, the Guthrie investigation may lead to a dead end, despite it being a high-profile case and the deployment of maximum manpower.
One thing we do know is that the psychological trauma of the devastating loss for Savannah will take its toll and undoubtedly jeopardize her return as an on-air news journalist.
The Issue:
George Washington's achievements as a founding father of the United States.
George Washington's accomplishments helped solidify a fledgling country and provided a foundation that still stands today ("A Founder for Us All," Editorial, Feb 16).
His military leadership helped defeat the world's most powerful army. He helped guide delegates to create the Constitution. His decision to leave the presidency after two terms reinforced the principle that the executive is subservient to the people.
While he left no famous quotes, his actions spoke volumes.
As far as Founding Fathers go, Washington was indeed the "first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
He was hailed as the American Cincinnatus, emulating the Roman ideals embodied in the motto of the Society of the Cincinnati: "He gave up everything to serve the Republic."
