Hmmm.... This is interesting. I had written a letter to FOX news in early June praising them for a short article in which they address this issue. I wonder if the FOX article, or readers' letters had anything to do with the MSN thing.
Please see my letter below.

Dear Editor,
I wanted to write and thank you for your publishing the article by Catherine Donaldson-Evans. Although I am just your average reader who has never known anyone who went missing or was abducted, I had certainly noticed this bias in the news media. I always wondered why the network news on TV never cover missing men. I guess I had subconsciously assumed that it was because young men were never, or rarely, abducted or missing.
The figures Ms. Donaldson-Evans cites show that 44% of those missing are male - that is almost half!!! And yet, nary a peep from the media.
THIS IS WHY I WATCH AND READ FOX NEWS! Keep up the good work. Thanks for being far less gender biased than most of the networks (whose blatant anti-male bias long ago sent me looking for better fare).
Thanks again,
Pradeep Ramanathan
PS - Would FOX news consider doing a story or a special on this phenomenon of ignoring missing males? I am sure the father in the article would love a chance to have his son's case be used as just one example.
