Michelle Malkin’s Cousin Is Missing
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Blogging
As Kathy Kattenburg of Moderate Voice said earlier, this transcends politics.
She is a University of Washington undergrad and she has been missing since Saturday afternoon, when she left the Rainier Beach neighborhood headed to the UW Seattle campus. Her parents have been trying to reach her all weekend; she apparently never made it to campus and has not been heard from by phone/Internet. They’ve filed a missing persons report with the Seattle Police Department. Hospitals have been alerted, according to family members, and bus and train routes have been checked. No sign.Here’s more info we’re trying to spread via Facebook and Q13Fox/KCPQ in Seattle:

I honestly don’t see the point of posting this at Donklephant. Perhaps if it was a politician’s cousin or a staffer … something. But Michelle Malkin? What does she have to do with
?
I am sympathetic to missing persons but, frankly, there are many missing people – I just don’t see the relevance.

I agree that it’s outside the stated purview of the blog.
But I think it’s well within the range of any blog owner’s prerogative to include such stuff at his or her discretion. Besides, it’s of relevance to hloggers in general as blogger-related news.
Really nothing for any of us to say on the story other than to hope she’s found alive and well, though. Which I’m sure we all do.

I would think that it should not be such a bad thing to do a little service and post the missing alert. What harm does it do and does it not at least show a bit of compassion?
