CNN talk show reaches a new depth of sleaze

[Sequoia]

Nancy Grace was in vintage form on her national talk show on CNN's Headline News. Her guest was a soft-spoken 21-year-old mother named Melinda Duckett. Police in Florida suspect Duckett had something to do with the disappearance of her 2-year-old son, Trenton, on Aug. 27.

But Grace wasn't satisfied with suspicion. She wanted to solve the case right there in front of a coast-to-coast television audience.

"Why are you not telling us where you were?'' Grace demanded, pounding the table. "Miss Duckett, you are not telling us for a reason. What is the reason?''

As the woman stumbled over her words, trying to come up with answers, a small yellow text box appeared at the bottom of the screen: "SINCE SHOW TAPING," it read, "BODY OF MELINDA DUCKETT FOUND AT GRANDPARENTS' HOME.''

2. Grace.

Talk about someone with a last name which represents the exact opposite of what they represent.

4. Nancy Grace assumes everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

5. She aired the interview AFTER learning the young mother had died.

For that alone, she should be fired. Her producers, too.

6. If Ms, Duckett's family sues nancy and cnn

for a lofty sum that'll probably get CNN to sing a new tune quickly.

7. I don't think it was right, but I do think she was acting like the

Asst. DA as she was in her past. That's exactly how a DA questions an accused. The big difference is thatthis usually happens in court, and the accused has an attorney present to sayHOLD IT, THAT'S ENOUGH!

8. Nancy disGrace should be fired!
