Kayla Mueller, the young humanitarian activist who was murdered by ISIS, is from my hometown, and her family lives here. The tragedy hit home hard. Thousands of people gathered at our Court House Square to honor her and her family, and money and other support are pouring into a foundation set up by her family.
I thought her family made a mistake when they agreed to be interviewed by Savannah Guthrie of NBC-TV (aired yesterday). All NBC was interested in was to exploit their grief for higher ratings.
but, don't forget what kind of audience sees them on T.V. maybe they wanted to reach the masses of people,[the family] to let them know of the horrors of isis.
maybe their story could sway those in power to finally put and end to isis. that may have been their thinking, reach the masses.
