Great essay on what’s wrong with Blondie journalism…
Does it make me a bad American if I just don’t care about Natalee Holloway (above and beyond the general concern expressed at the beginning of this story?) Is the life and death of one teenager worth more than another on the basis of her socioeconomic status? Is America, as a nation, well-served by a news media that is more concerned with infotainment than it is with information? And if you think that the Natalee Holloway case is something that in any shape or form deserves my hourly attention, could you explain why?
I wish I could say that I care, but I just can’t.

The fact that you don’t care does not make you a bad person, you didn’t know her. But the fact that you don’t feel enough sympathy for her family to think this case is important is what I don’t understand? Also if you are concerned with America as a nation then it would be important. We as Americans must stand up for each other especially in cases like this. If you had followed the case at all you’d understand the biggest problem was how Aruba was treating this case. With disrespect and disregaurd to the little Alabama teen who died while vacationing in their country.
Fuck Natalie? How tragic. This case isn’t only about Americans, it is about all of us on the planet who still are capable of feeling. Natalie did get fucked – that IS the tragedy! Probably by someone akin to the person who is so insensitive as to not open himself or herself to FEELING some compassion for Natalie and her family. This has got to be someone who has lost everything that decent human beings feel are critical. May this person come into his/her own heart. It takes great courage to open one’s heart. This person has a closed heart jammed shut and it is his/her loss – no-one else’s.
You are obviously young. Once you spend a little more time on the planet and you will not be quite so callous. It’s human nature to care about anyone’s well being. You’re sick of hearing about it because: A You’re Young
B You’re jealous
C You were abused or neglected as a child
I’ll say a pray for you…
Any way you look at it Van der sloot sounds like a name for a fish restaurant on a scenic warf. Let your server be the dish specialist Satish and the wine connoisseur Deepak of the VAN DER SLOOT FISH HOUSE! I wonder who will be serving the dessert? She might just end up dead!
You are certainly aggressive and stupid.
well maybe you fell that way because it was not your child. you are very insensitive and heartless. just hope no tragedy ever happens in your family and people feel the way you do. some people just dnt hav a heart. i call those sociapaths.
Wow, such heartlessness. This is about justice as with every murder case. No one who takes the life of another should walk freely among us. These three men should pay the price. They know the truth and should be rotting in jail for it. Now, with the recent confession about to air on TV…it’s time. I pray their days of freedom are numbered.
What is wrong with you?! How can anyone on earth hear about this story and not care? If you (insert) girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband, mother, father, child, nephew, neice, ect – anyone you care about – into the name ‘Natalie Holloway’ – and this story line… would you suddenly care? You need to examine yourself. Wake up to know that the world is overall good, but people like you need help.
Its years later and damned more Natalie.People go missing day in and day out.Yet no one cares.I think regardless of economical background everyone deserves justice.Yet there has been a boycott of Aruba because of this.Let me see there was no sign of forced entry.And did I mention she was drunk.Left all her ID in her room and no sign of foul play.Damned.Do I need to spell it out.Pissed and unconcerned in Alabama
If Natalie were from a lower economic class – we would have heard of her. Do you know how many unsolved cases of missing persons there are in the US alone?
Poor brat behaved badly while on a high school graduation trip abroad and got herself into deep trouble.
Yes I feel for her family and friends however I think there were alot of poor choices made beginning with sending teenagers into a foreign country without proper supervision.
Joran is guilty of being an opportunist. I’ve seen quite a few like him in resort destinations – whose only goal is to bed as many tourists as possible.
Natalie was either ignorant or obstinate. Can’t very well prove to us which one now.
New information about the crimes of Beth Holloway-Twitty in the case of missing Natalee Holloway that Nancy Grace was also deeply involved within. There just remains no known reason why Nancy and Beth continue to lie and to violate the law.

I don’t give a fuck about this case either. Personally, I am sick of hearing about it. Give it a rest already. Beth Twitty has made her money – she should retire now and quit torturing America with her ugly country ass face.
How sad for us all. We live in a country that has lost it’s heart.
I agree Im sorry that things like this happen in the world but at the same timee
why is the blame solely on the men. I am a women and believe she is as to blame for her death as they are. They said plenty of times that she went willingly. She was the one
Who got into the car and drove off. Im sorry but as a selfrespecting girl
that is something that you just dont do. She is 17 not 3 she should have
already been aware of the cruelty in this world. i am so sick of everyone
treating this case as an actual kiddnapping its not it is just what happens
when a little girl thinks she is all grown up and doesnt know how to keep her legs closed.
she should have known better and thought it through a little bit more come on people
she is a victim of her own stupidity stop making her out to be this angel on her way to church school. Her mom has her own burden of blame in this as well What mother in her right mind that supposedly cares that much for her own childs well being and safety lets her go out of her country underage is she as sheltered as her daughter from this world or just as stupid? there is no way my mother or father would let me out of the state let alone another country. and that has nothing to do with the issue of trust it simply the way he said it is best,” You will not go where i cannot protect you. i wouldnt be able to live with myself if me wanting to be your friend is what cost your death. I would rather have you hate me and be alive then be where i cant get to you with me alive.” So can everyone stop treating this case as something more then a wild child that got the harsh lesson in life but set a good example of the real world to children that want to be just like her.
Most of the responses here demonstrate that no one actually read the article. The article has nothing to do with Natalie Holloway and everything to do with the how the media sensationalizes reporting.
I don’t give a shit about Natalee. Natalie was a Whore&Slut. She fucked many boys&male teachers from her school. Natalee deserved
to get gang raped&murdered. If the Bitch is alive,I hope she’s getting
raped/gang raped daily in a brothel. I hope Natalee contracts every
STD. Natalee Cunt deserves to die from aids. I get sick the media
making such a big Fucking deal over this trailer trash Pig. I HATE NATALEE. I LOATHE NATALEE.
