Nancy Grace is utterly disgusting and represents much of what is wrong with humanity. She appears to have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. She makes her living by exploiting the misery of others.

She uses her position to hound people she has decided are guilty in some way and at least two people have committed suicide as a result of her badgering and her claims. Take a look for yourself:

Suicide of interviewee Melinda Duckett

Toni Annette Medrano suicide

You'll find other things on that wiki page. Just read through it. Sickening.

Why she remains employed is beyond me. Even in a news media filled to the brim with amoral people who make their living by damaging others with their lies, Nancy Grace stands out as the worst of the worst. The days she dies should be declared a national holiday.

vile, muckraking haridan

I have held this opinion for some time myself. She was on Fox recently. I don't remember if as a guest or she is now a regular contributor, in part because I couldn't hit the channel button on my remote fast enough.

I completely agree with you. Heard about the way she was when she was on HLN. Watched a few minutes and saw that if somebody disagreed with her they were gone quickly. Any host that won't listen to both sides of a story has no business being in the media.

Indeed. In fact, there was a book/film not too long ago, "Gone Girl", that used this as a plot point.

It features a hateful and overbearing TV "reporter", explicitly based on Nancy Grace, who mercilessly harangues and hounds people that she has declared are guilty.

She's the real world equivalent of a vampire, the closest thing to a blood-sucking creature who preys on humans there is.

Aw, shucks. Tell us what you really think. Don't hold back.

The very first time I ever saw her show, I honestly thought it was so over the top that it had to be intentional and some kind of new, tabloid style of sarcasm. Like a living caricature.

She takes herself seriously as it turns out.

She and her stupid show are about nothing but making money for herself. Regardless of the truth. She did a show on a case my Department had. Blamed the wrong person because she had to blame somebody for the ratings. Real killer was caught and confessed. But I never heard a follow-up, 'I'm sorry' It is just that 'get my name and face on T.V. to make money at anybody's expense.'

I would not piss on her if she were on fire.

Nobody is gonna talk about her nose? It's her best feature.

Not having subscription TV since sometime in the 1980's may explain why I had not the faintest idea who this woman was until looking her up as a result of Para's post.

Looks like ignorance truly is bliss in this case

The dominant media has become so thoroughly odious I don't watch any of it, any more. Even to the point where we now often fast-forward through most of the local "news"--sometimes finding ourselves having watched only the weather forecast.

I can't stand the sight or sound of that vile witch.

Agreed, she is a horrible example of some of the lowest scum.

But I'm curious -- was there something specific that motivated you to start this thread? Wondering if I missed something on TV, since I rarely watch.

Exploitation TV. I believe it all started with Jerry Springer. Serving up the misery of others for TV ratings. It is rather like the Roman Coliseum. Nancy Grace takes it up a notch. The sound of her voice grates on my nerves.

Jerry Springer is ridiculous to the point of sometimes being amusing. There is absolutely nothing positive that can be said about Ms. Grace.

I beg your pardon Sir, it's now "Judge Jerry" Springer.

Can a Judge Nancy Grace be next?

^^^^^^^
Thanks for the info. The only legit TV Judge was Judge Wapner.

Ole Nancy is one big POS IMO.

She and Geraldo Rivera must have gone to the same school of reporting together and ate from the same books.

Don't soft-pedal it, Para.

Not even Judge Judy? You are shaking the foundations of my faith in TV.

Wapner had class. Judy is just Judy. I find her irritating and controlling. Wapner had control of the courtroom but in a more refined manner.
Besides, Rain Man liked him.

According to sources:
Wapner found Sheindlin’s acerbic style to be not very judicial.

“She’s discourteous and she’s abrasive,” Wapner told the New York Post in 1992. “She’s not slightly insulting. She’s insulting in capital letters.
