1:55Now PlayingI’ve been following the Guthrie case like everyone else—and what I’m seeing is a systemic failure of focus. Local law enforcement is coming off as overmatched and overwhelmed, and in my view, egos could be getting in the way of clean coordination and decisive progress in bringing the missing person home quickly and safely. The FBI appears to be trying to assist local authorities, but I’m not seeing meaningful progress there either. Then the news media environment pours gasoline on the current crop of challenges. The news cycle has turned a missing-person investigation into a media spectacle, and social media compounds the problem with various conjecture, theories, and noise that drown out the standing priorities. Let’s reset the frame: there’s an elderly woman missing. The mission is simple—bring her home safely as fast as possible. In this video, I provide a video (a possible parody) that satirizes the dysfunctional Guthrie response up to this point, how the media ecosystem creates a smoke screen, and why everyone involved must to cut the drama and get back to the fundamental work at hand.

Channel Approach: This channel fights social and institutional decay and there are things that ordinary people should talk about without hating each other. Are you tired of "overly-scripted", highly "curated", and "conflict-based" content that has become the norm? Are you exhausted with content that looks like contrived takeoffs of the failed mainstream media? I am. So, I hope you will forgive me for promoting a less generic, over-produced approach where ideas can be shared in a more informal fashion about what is going on for the ordinary people of the world. For the sake of real talk, you will see minor recording mistakes and flubs in this content. Please like, share, and subscribe to keep the conversation moving forward.
