Nancy Grace. What do you make of her?

[romantico]

I watched her for the first time the other night. She seems really bitchy but I felt there was something there that was good. I could be WAAAAAAAAAY off here having only watched her once. Is she the real deal or another media whore?

[slackmaster]

1. The first time I saw her was during the Terri Schiavo affair

She was pulling for the "pro-life" fundie side. I couldn't stand her and haven't tried to watch her since then.

[Bunny]

2. Oh. My. God.

You mean Nancy "The Flaming Nostrils of Justice" Grace?



Bow down. Bow down before her. Obey the nostrils.

[ronnykmarshall]

27. Flame away, Nancy!!

Needless to say, I can't stand her.

[Bunny]

34. I love that photo ronnyk!

:rofl:

[ronnykmarshall]

35. Feel free to use it.

I love slamming ol' Nance.

[etherealtruth]

3. IMO she never met a person that was accused of a crime ...

... that wasn't guilty.

[barb162]

20. I watched her this one time where a young woman in prison

for killing her father (for sexually abusing her) was given a half hour for explaining her position. Grace wanted her out of prison and the case reheard and felt it was a travesty that this young woman should be in prison.

[etherealtruth]

26. well, that's a good thing ...

I watch little TV and have caught little of Grace. What I've seen I don't like so I don't watch. It would be a GOOD thing if I was completely wrong.

[JRob]

31. Especially if they're male...

She got her cue during the Scott Peterson affair spewing venom daily on CNN.

I can't stand the sight of her

[RebelOne]

4. I have no problem with her.

But I don't watch her much anyway.

[wakeme2008]

5. You mean Nancy " if the DA charges you with anything you are

100% guilty and should die in the electric chair" Grace... :grr:

[burned]

6. ugh

Pushy and Horrid.

[Dirty Hippie]

7. I watch her

because I have a sick fascination with true crime and justice stories.

She is entertaining in a sensational/soap opera kind of way.

I love it when she gets disgusted.

[smartvoter]

8. She's a guilty-if-charged, fry-em-up hack. Useless. nt

[Jacobin]

9. She makes my skin crawl

She is utterly beyond redemption and hey, I'm from the south, and that accent of hers?............GACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jon_da_brockman]

10. Cant stand her.

She makes me ill.

[romantico]

13. WOW! I'm glad to hear some of this

I read somewhere her boyfried or fiance was murdered in front of her. Not sure if its true or not. I especially like how she ends her show with "Goodnight Friend". Awwww! So, we don't know if she's a 100% freeper type, do we?

[CottonBear]

16. Her fiance was murdered but not in front of her.

She then went to law school and became a prosecutor. She had something close to 100% conviction rate (or maybe it was 100%).

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Yeah. The DuPage Prosecutors Office Had A 100% Conviction. . .

. . . rate on violent crimes too. Unfortunately, two of the guys they put on death row didn't do it, and THEY KNEW WHO DID DO IT!

100% conviction rates are the mark of a hack, as often as they are of a competent trial lawyer.

[barb162]

53. Birkett needs to see the inside of a jail cell

[DemBeans]

11. my question is...

Why is she on Headline News? Why is Headline News also carrying an obnoxious entertainment show, along with Grace and her putrid celebrity trials, on a channel that's supposed to offer a quick overview of the news?

I'll answer my own question - because all of the news is bad, so instead they substitute trash like Grace's show and showbiz fluff. They can't pretty up the mess Bush has made of our country, so the news will be eliminated. Sad state of affairs indeed.

[madrchsod]

14. cnn headline news wants

to compete with fox...fox who have less than a half million viewers a night

[madrchsod]

12. she is the c word i never use.

[CottonBear]

15. Media whore.

I'm glad to have her gone from Georgia (former prosecuter), just sorry she got inflicted on the entire USA.

[BiggJawn]

17. She had the "Runaway Bride' fiance sizzling in The Chair...

...right before she turned up sore and hungover in Tucumcari or wherever.

I thought "This **** has a LAW DEGREE? She was a PROSECUTOR?"

[ronnykmarshall]

33. I'm not suprised.

Most of the pukes on Court TV are cut from the same cloth.

There was this woman reporting on this trial where a guy was suing the creators of "The New Candid Camera". They pulled this lame stunt at an airport (which I'm suprised they were allowed to do) and this guy was injured and was very embarrassed by this. Needless to say he refused to sign the release. He almost missed his flight. It was held up for him and everyone of the plane was laughing at him.

This hag reporter was just a raving asshole. Making fun of the guy and calling him a "loooooooser". I wanted to slap the living shit out of her.

[stewert]

18. Read This.........

Nancy Grace does one thing well. She helps us see the cable "news" corps’ corruption:

LARRY’S WILLING EXECUTIONER: Signs of the apocalypse? They must include the specter of Josh Marshall wasting his time on Nancy Grace. Josh is much too smart and much too constructive to be burning his brain cells watching Larry King Live, as he’s done in a few recent postings. As we noted in the dim, distant past, our cable “news” nets announced long ago that they were actually tabloid entities. People like Marshall are far too smart to be loitering inside such salons.

On the other hand, Grace is so repellent a figure that she serves a useful purpose; she helps us see the moral and intellectual corruption spreading through our mainstream “news” culture. It’s increasingly clear that King himself is uncomfortable with her rancid behavior. But a recent piece in the New York Times skipped over Grace’s greatest “hang ’em high” failure. Wearily, then, THE HOWLER steps in and resolves all outstanding issues.

28. I take this as confirmation of my opinion

I made my hang 'em high comment in a lower post before reading this.

How does someone like this gain so much rabid support in America?

What a mean-spirited, vindictive country we've become. What a shame. Seems to be split right down the middle. Watch your back, people.

[MsTryska]

19. first time i ever heard her name was on Bill Maher

some random wingnut - it might even have been drudge for all i recall brought her up as the epitome of media reporting, and everyone else looked at him like "who"?


so that should tell you all you need to know. If drudge is pimping for her, she can't be valid.

[Zorbuddha]

21. Self-righteous, overzealous, hang-'em-high Harpy Nazi spawn...

gloryhound suck-up to 'The System'.

Walking personification of the Conservative ethos.

[river2]

22. I find her very annoying

Every defendent is guilty in her world, and she uses them to make money, like pawns...

She's one dimensional and flat as a personality, an incredibly boring person.

[eissa]

23. The accent alone

makes me want to slit my wrists. I'm almost always pro-prosecution myself, but she seems to take her outrage to whole other level. The only time I've ever heard her not be supportive of a prosecution was (surprise) for her fellow Georgia peach, the runaway bride.

[BurtWorm]

24. Media whore.

Self-righteous DA.

[RobertSeattle]

25. Her credo is Guilty until Proven Innocent

[fob]

40. If you replace "Proven Innocent" with "Smeared Guiltier" then I could

agree.

[Crankie Avalon]

29. Her show is one more example...

...of our dumbed down, stop thinking so much and pump up the outrage, celebrity-obsessed, junknews media.

[11 Bravo]

32. You mean the Tammy Faye Baker of the courtroom set?

Also, I can't find a link, but very recently she was accused of serial misconduct during her tenure as a prosecutor in Georgia.

[buff2]

36. She is a Democrat.......

who has her own opinion. I see nothing wrong with that. :toast:

[ElectroPrincess]

44. Hard to believe that she's a Democrat ...

If you put her and Mark Klaus in the same room, it would EXPLODE from all the hate. Guess her fiance was killed and Klaus's daughter was murdered. They both COVET every last ounce of hatred. Look at their faces when they get angry and cry out for justice (revenge)?

These people are mentally ill. I told my immediate family that even if I were tortured and horribly murdered, I would not want them to spend the rest of their lives seeking vengeance for me. Life in prison is the only justice I would hope for them to seek. Being a good Catholic goes well beyond saying "no" to abortion, one must also rally against state sponsored murder.

How many people who are continuing to be "assembly line executed" in Texas may have been (are) innocent? Their BAD to have a "hang up *all* high" prosecutor like ole' Nancy Grace on the opposite side.

:rant:

People filled with hate and constantly seeking retribution, should NOT be honored as celebrities. Not a good role model for either gender.

[eissa]

46. I like Mark Klaus

Sorry, but if (God forbid) I were ever in the position that Mark was in, I would want him on my side. I can't imagine the horror he went through and don't blame him one bit for his position regarding deranged criminals and how they ought to be treated.

[ElectroPrincess]

50. No, he covets his hatred and is mentally ill ...

If this man "goes off" I wouldn't want to be anywhere around him. No, I have sympathy for his loss but I do NOT like the man. He's very ill and needs good medication and intensive therapy.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

37. I can make a hat, or a brooch, or a Pterodactyl...

*snicker*

[UdoKier]

38. A voodoo doll.

I've never seen her show, and I don't watch Court TV, but she sounds awful.

[fob]

39. If she were 10 times smarter than she is right now I could make a

nightstand out of her.

Summary:

She's a flaming gasbag idiot.

[cboy4]

41. "Larrry, ah need tah respahnd to that ackyewsation"

Is there a day when she's not on Larry King convicting someone??

[XemaSab]

45. But what about the VICTIM?

What about VICTIM's rights?

[notadmblnd]

42. As far as I know she used to be a prosecutor

and had a gig on Court TV. I don't like her, maybe it her pointy little bitchy face, reminds me of a rat.

[warrens]

43. What's black and brown and looks great on Nancy Grace?

A pack of rabid dobermans. She has that smug, spoiled, entitled look that sends me off the deep end. She withheld evidence to gain convictions, and her entire legal philosophy appears to be, "if they were innocent, the cops wouldn't have arrested them."

She is true scum.

[bunkerbuster1]

49. b-but she's a Democrat!

from Georgia! like Zell!

[FrenchieCat]

47. She's the made-for-TV in your face blond big mouth....,

If you like that kind of thing, pull up a chair.

I hate made-for-TV anything!

[dogday]

48. DRAMA QUEEN

[H2O Man]

51. I like her a lot.

Smart, articulate, attractive. Democrat. And she has stood up for the wrongly accused, although it is obvious many here have not followed her career closely enough to know this.

[Zorbuddha]

54. She's a pox on humanity

I've followed her closely enough to know that.

I'm not following her any further. You can have her.

Egotistical prosecutors should be run out of town.

[PassingFair]

57. I find her entertaining and riveting...

she's fun to watch.
That said, I've only seen her once or twice.
Both times I was highly amused.

[PurityOfEssence]

52. Opportunistic man-hater with an ax to grind

Her vindictiveness and vengeful hatred of males is breathtaking.

[Zorbuddha]

55. Bingo.

Larry King launched her, but it's clear he's fed up with her after a recent panel discussion where he practically had to tell her to shut the fuck up. I don't think she'll be sitting in for him again.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

56. she would love to personally give the lethal injections to all inmates

[Democrat 4 Ever]

58. Grace has been censured several times by higher courts for her actions.

Dateline - May 2, 2005

Prosecutorial Misconduct by Nancy Grace?: Nancy Grace is a fomer prosecutor from the Atlanta Fulton County District Attorney's Office who is now a legal commentator for Court TV and CNN. Given that Grace comments so frequently on matters of criminal law, I wonder if she'll comment on the Eleventh Circuit's opinion today in Stephens v. Hall. In an opinion by Judge Pryor, the Eleventh Circuit considered the remedy for a case in which a certain Fulton County District Attorney's Office prosecutor was found by the court to have "played fast and loose with her ethical duties" under the Constitution. The name of the prosecutor? Nancy Grace.
This woman is a disgrace. Essentially, she suppressed evidence, including the fact that arrest warrants were issued for suspects other than Stephens for the same crime yet Grace stated under oath that no charges were pending, and she put witnesses up that testified falsely.

[lala_rawraw]

59. She is far

Too judgmental and forgets one must be found guilty first before she can declare them as such. Plus, she needs less hair spray and less chatter.

[LibDemAlways]

60. Last night I was flipping through the channels

and came across her show just as she was asking a reporter to recap the last day of the Jackson trial. The reporter was about one second into it when Grace interrupted to give her version of events, which of course was meaningless since she wasn't there.

She's a camera hog who never met a defendent who wasn't guilty as sin. She's repulsive.
