A Little Less Myopic

Looks like CNN has gotten the message. They've finally figured out that attractive missing white women aren't the only human beings who dissapear suddenly.

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Community leaders asked for help in finding a pregnant woman who has been missing for more than a week, offering a $10,000 reward for information about her whereabouts.

LaToyia Figueroa, 24, is five months pregnant and has a 7-year-old daughter, and friends and relatives said she would never abandon the girl voluntarily.

Latoyia is African American. This is serious, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. It's high time that CNN expand newsworthy stories beyond their previous myopic vision. I'm not saying CNN deserves an award, but it's a start. Hopefully Ms. Figueroa finds her way home safe and sound.
