Nancy Grace

Where do I start in my dislike against this woman?

It all began with the Casey Anthony trial. Nancy Grace convicted Anthony before the police even found Caylee’s body. Grace had Americans so convinced that Anthony was guilty that people assumed she would be found guilty in court which led to the shock of the year when Anthony was released with a “not guilty” verdict.

Maybe if Grace had found real evidence and had not sensationalized Casey as a person, the people would have pushed for iron-clad evidence instead of just assuming that everyone would agree with Grace.

I don’t understand how Nancy Grace counts as a source of news. One of the basic principles of journalism is inviting criticism and being able to refute that criticism. Grace will invite an expert onto her show, and then interrupt and cut them off the air when that expert disagrees with her.

But she is effective at bringing in viewers. My dad who hates her still watches her everyday just to “see what she’s bitching about today.” So obviously, she is adept at creating interest in the stories that she supposedly “reports” on.
