Nancy Grace draws VILLAGE VOICE fire.
Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 03:09 AM by Old Crusoe
In case this hasn't been posted yet, the current on-line edition of the VILLAGE VOICE takes Nancy Grace to task, she of the flaming nostrils.

http://www.villagevoice.com/screens/0515,tv1,62897,28.html


Excerpt:

===
It's only in the cable news realms that women get their own shows, and even then, most of these anchors (think Paula Zahn) play it pleasant and demure, projecting the image of a perky, blonde working-mom-next-door. Grace may be blonde, but she is about as perky as a roach bomb, coating every story she reports—if reports is the right word for her prejudicial presentations—with bile and fury.

1. The Woman is a disgrace to her former profession (prosecutor)
& her current one also.(talking head)

I think she single handedly lowers the collective American IQ by 3-5 points

:toast:

2. I'm with ya on this, LibertyorDeath. What kills me about Nancy --
-- is her shoot-from-the-hip style and the mean-spiritedness that goes with it.

I think the writer in the VOICE had it nailed pretty good.

4. I sent her an email once at CourtTV.
I forgot what it was, but she made some really disgusting remark to the brother of a victim. I told her that I used to consider her just overbearing and obnoxious, but now I can add rude and insensitive. Needless to say, I never heard back from her. How that woman ever gets air time is beyond me. What a dimwit!

7. she's horrible and proclaims people guilty even if they've been
acquitted, and always before the jury returns. I'd like to see people like that get a taste of their own view of justice, I am surprised she hasn't been sued for slander.

And she's shrill.

8. Posters so far here have gotten it right, I think. Grace --
-- is mis-named. I think it's ok for people to hold strong opinions, but hers are designed to burn things to the ground. That's way past a "strong opinion" and well into the scorched-earth zone.

Shame on Nancy for behaving like that in a self-promotional ratings grab.

11. I watch her now cause she is so over the top I think she's funny
she was absolutely beside herself during the Schiavo crap.

She was on Larry King one day last week and callers were taking her to task for saying making fun of Michael Jackson. Good times!!!

14. She was foaming at the mouth last night ...
Had the father of the toddlers who were found in a pond in Georgia on her show. He just wanted to talk about it - and she seemed overly, insincerely sweet. It was disgusting.

What a flake.
