Washington Post on Nancy Grace

I agree 100% with this Washington Post writer Andrew Cohen on his take on this Grace thing. This line is an especially good indictment on some of these TV lawyers from the "scream media"

In fact, I'm surprised that violence hasn't surrounded her shtick already
and more often. The combination of rage, revenge, accusation and innuendo that
permeates her show and her television personality is precisely the sort of
roiling, viscous, corrosive potion that leads people to think they are heroes
when they are about to act as villains.

Yeah Grace comes from the school of thought where you have to be an outrageous bulldog to get any ratings. It doesn't matter who you destroy or how you may harm the cases that you are publicizing.

You have to grill those suspects until they die or they confess the crimes that you have already convinced they are guilty of. I mean Grace isn't a detective grilling a suspect at the jailhouse. She is supposed to be running a TV show. Whatever the case I kind of hope that this thing wakes up CNN and they fire Grace.
