Nancy Grace and Court TV WTF?
They are all bitching that they aren't killing all the people on death row fast enough to make room for more murderers. Am I in the dark ages here?
This chick is a fucking whack job.

1. Did you see my post about her in the TC forum?
I had to turn her special off about the Atlanta murders this past week.

She makes me crazy.

I call her Nancy "But What About the BaBEEEEEEEEE?" Grace.

5. Yeah, I read it
That's why I was watching it. I saw it on and had to see for myself. It's bizarre, I didn't know she was this bad. I have seen her in the past, but never paid attention to her. Now I see what you were saying.

7. I can't stand that women.
She's a phoney and she likes nothing more than hearing herself speak. She never says anything that requires thought...she just blathers on and on and on ...its pitiful. I think she suffers from the same thing Bush supporters suffer from...lack of activity in the cortex and an overactive emotion center.

A disgusting excuse for news analysis of the legal system.

14. url about grace
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/reviews/review_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000819575

<snip>

Next up is "Nancy Grace," the self-titled show offering the latest from the world of courts and trials. Grace, who hails from Court TV, is a former prosecutor and former crime victim and never lets you forget it.

To be sure, there are important issues raging in the courtrooms. The president made tort reform a national issue. In California, the governor wants judges to redistrict the state. The U.S. Senate is poised to reconsider potential conservative judicial activists nominated by Bush. The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing two cases on eminent domain that have profound implications.

Grace, however, is far more interested in the case of a teenager in Idaho charged with killing both her parents. "This girl, she's the devil's seed," proclaims Grace. On one show, we are treated to three identical live shots of the cemetery in which the parents were buried, while violins and piano music play in the background.

15. the rest of that url
<snip>

When the alleged BTK killer was arrested in Kansas, Grace wasted no time proclaiming him a "lowlife coward" and "a little weasel." No point saving it up for after the trial.

Most of the rest of the time last week was spent on the pending court cases of Michael Jackson and Robert Blake, but even here the discussion rarely got past the fashion statement being made by the defendants.

What makes this preference for the tawdry even harder to take is Grace's own approach to crime: a combination of sob sister and hanging judge. When a Fort Worth, Texas, mother and child disappear -- or in Grace's parlance, "went missing" -- she asks, "Who would want to hurt a seven-month pregnant woman like Lisa?" Later, showing a picture of the two, she adds: "Look at that little face. They are out there somewhere tonight." Turns out, they weren't, which was duly noted during the news hour that followed Grace.

"When will it end?" Grace asked after reporting on a teacher accused of having sex with a teenager. When indeed?
