It's a news report about a very skilled and courageous young woman who was attempting an amazing feat. She was knocked down by terrible weather and was in danger, 2000 miles from the nearest land. I consider her challenge and situation to be very interesting.
I find you to be more than "cold". You seem almost dead.

If you owned a media outlet, would you report the kidnapping of minority girls as well? |
