Nancy Grace

[The Lion S]

I just do not understand Nancy Grace's continued outrage about Casey Anthony, when she could be using more time on her show to help find Haleigh Cummings. She spends most of each hour ranting on and on about how horrible CA is when we pretty much know what happened to Caylee. There's no mystery, no missing child. NG is more concerned with the clothes, makeup, hair and candy that CA is getting in jail than doing balanced investigative journalism. Then-- she tops off every show with pictures of her (safe) children. My how cute, "I'm such a great mother." blah blah blah

Nancy Grace was 50 when she had those twins, and it seems unfair for her to blast 22 year old Casey each and every night on TV. Casey is in jail, we are listening to all of her conversations, her daughter is dead, her family has been destroyed and she may even get the death penalty. Let the legal system do its job.

What do you think?

Why do you watch her show if you don't like?

I rarely watch her show, but I have read transcripts of it every so often. She may cover more than one topic & who knows what part of her show it will be on - so it's easier for me (& tries my patience a whole lot less) to find the transcript & read about the subject I am interested in.

I think you're right about NG. Aside from spending a lot of time on CA's clothes, make-up and snacks, she is completely biased in her "reporting" about Haleigh's parents.

She trashes Crystal, is rude to KP and gushes all over RC and TN.

It's sickening, imo.

I watch it from time to time just to see if her way of bringing the news will EVER change. Also because she does do SOME coverage of other stories besides the Anthonys. However, basically I find her irritating and unlikeable. Everytime I hear her say "tot mom" I immediately change the channel. :rolleyes:

[oldmissmeany]

I think Nancy needs to spend more time on Haleigh and less on CA.

With the CA case we hear the same thing over and over five days a week.

I have quit watching Nancy because of that.

I don't understand why she can't spend about 15 min. per show on CA and then spend the rest of the show on Haleigh and other missing children.

I agree totally. Since she has had children she seems to focus on cases involving children which is okay but there are other cases that are interesting as well involving adults. Actually I now prefer to watch JVM. She is not as rude to guests. I wonder why Nancy's guests continue to appear on her show when she cuts them off, is rude, etc. They must get paid well, are under contract or love being on T.V. no matter how they are treated. My 2 cents!

[aproudmom]

all of you can say what you will about nancy but she's the only one keeping this case in the news..........

ITA get a poll about GVS and GR at least NG does bring awareness to missing and murdered child If you don't like her there is this little thing called a remote turn the channel if you do not like her show..this is such a shame:thumbdown: if you ask me attack the one that has at least not gave up on this child:mad:

[joyzzce]

IMO Nancy Grace knows something else that we dont... and that information cant be released and she's obeying it...

[iluvspring]

I like Nancy, but she is way over the top with the Casey Anthony case. It has become an obsession with her. I'm guessing and hoping that she has people reading this message board and will GET the message that people are no longer interested in seeing anymore pictures or hearing anymore repeats of CA. If there are any new developments I'm sure we all want to hear about it, but otherwise it's time to give it a rest.
The only reason I keep tuning in is hoping to hear something new on the Haleigh Cummings case. I pray Haleigh is brought home safe and well, but at this point I have my doubts. Given the length of time that has passed her well being is unlikely. Now I want to see them nail the perps and I hope it is SOON.

You cant blame them. They need commercials and Caylee Anthony's case is more sensational than Haleigh Cummings's case IMO. Although i agree with your sentiments - I understand the need to recover cost from broadcasting their shows.

[Katt2]

Nancy Grace is absolutely ruthless & terrible. I wish they would take her off the air & replace her with someone who gives a damn about the truth. Everytime someone states a fact if it doesn't berrate someone she flys off the handle & berates the messenger instead. She cares nothing for the truth or justice. Yuck. CourtTv can do so much better.

First of all, there is no more CourtTV. It is called In Session and secondly Nancy works for CNN HLN and not IS.

I should add that the channel is called TruTV and the daily legal proceedings is called In Session.

[YoYo]

I haven't watched Nancy in more than five years. Just flipping by when she's on sends my BP out the roof. :wink:

[CHITCHAT]

Everyone seams a little snippy today....

Well not one asked me directly but I only tune in when I want to rehash CA case...I think it should be updated as something new happens, as of now all we're seeing is same old jail house conversations..So I put it one once a week for 5 minutes.

I do think it would be nice, if she makes her show all about all missing children...I'm sure there are enough missing kidds to talk about to fill an hour...lets get those faces out there.

[The Lion S]

What does being age 50 and age 22 have to do with it?

Nancy Grace spews venom every night on what a bad mother Casey Anthony is, and while that is probably true CA's situation at 22 differs from NG's at 50 and it is unfair for her to be judgmental to the point of jeopardizing a fair trial.

We get it, NG is a great mother. Her twins are beautiful, well taken care of, rich and safe. However, what she can provide with her position and age are far greater than many others namely many young moms.

She also seems to be against Crystal, Haleigh's bio-mom as well.

[Debb]

Nancy can be annoying at times, but for the most part I think she's okay. She calls attention to many cases that without it would turn into cold cases IMO.

The other night about a month ago, I was switching through the channels and happened upon NG. She was just fininishing up saying something to Mike Brooks, the former FBI regular on her show. I didn't catch what she said, but Mike Brooks looked at her with this totally heartbroken and helpless look and said something like, I'm afraid I can't help you Nancy, you know more that me, or something like that. I thought the man was going to cry. It was very sad and surprising as I have never seen him do anything like that before.

Did anyone else see this? What were they talking about? Why did he react that way?
Just curious.

[The Lion S]

Nancy Grace's brand of "investigative reporting" has all but insured that Casey Anthony (guilty or not) will get off. CA's lawyers can credibly argue that no unbiased jury can be found anywhere in the country.

What purpose can there be behind the pictures of NG's babies at the end of each show, except to imply to her audience that her parenting skills are superior to the 22 year old "tot-mom?":unsure:

This implied "comparison" is personal, and it diminishes NG's credibility as a fair, impartial and objective investigative reporter.

[The Lion S]

I've decided to watch Issues with Jane Velez Mitchell instead. It's a much more balanced show and I don't have to hear Nancy Grace's tired old intro "Breaking news in the disappearance of a two year old Florida girl .... homicide!" :scared: OR see those party pictures of the "tot-mom" ever again!

And, for what it's worth, I think Casey Anthony will walk behind all of this bad media coverage.

[justaguy]

i watch it on weekends to catch up. i DO appreciate the work she does..but i wish when there is no real news to report...that another issue would be covered. esp when i see at the end "check the website to see nancy's cold case"...well..how bout covering that for five minutes.

in my mind, these shows BEST serve forgotten cases. once one has reached a fever pitch..and is in the limbo between charges filed..but not gone to court yet...it seems like a good time to cover those.

Has Nancy ever tried to be fair, impartial or objective in her "reporting?" I've never seen it.

Why does she continue to call the "news" in the CA case "breaking?" It broke, already! I would like to see her focus on other cases, children and adults, and get off CA already. Bring coverage of CA back when it goes to trial...I just read the transcripts when I want to see if she's covering anything else besides CA, like Sandra or Hayleigh. I can't stand her voice and I hate the term "tot mom." IMO

I agree with your concepts in relation to "parenting skills". I was well into my 30s when I had my one and only child - not wealthy like NG but financially solvent with a loving husband to share the caring of the child. I could stay home and be a mother following the birth of my child & when I returned to work I could afford daycare. I was old enough to no longer have a need to party with friends and do all the things that teenagers like to do.

I really didn't like being a mother - caring for and entertaining a babe, toddler and young child, wasn't my idea of fun - but I had many years of "freedom & fun" before I became a mother.

Life is not easy for teenage, unmarried Mums. Not being able to even share with their parents that they are pregnant - for fear of repercussions is very sad. Having it screamed from now to forever that they must have, love and care for this child to the extent of everything else in their lives, while father disappears into the blue yonder to continue to impregnate silly young girls - has been happening since time eternal. Life isn't fair & pregnant young girls probably get more "unfair" than lots of other folks.

None of what I say is an excuse for why Caylee died. It is purely explaining why it is so much easier for wealthy, older people to be that person of such worth "a good mother".

A little sex education and discussions on the reality of parenting (rather than the emphasis of how "wonderful" is motherhood) might help young women to avoid becoming mothers until they are fully able to cope with the reality of the task. Continually discussing the how and why of Casey being a "bad parent" while showing ones own children, probably cared for by a "real" nanny, seems rather pointless.

I don't agree that an unbiased jury cannot be found. There will be millions - in Casey's home state even - who have never heard of the case.

As for your first paragraph, You couldn't be more wrong. Casey Anthony
will be found guilty with a Capitol G.

You certainly know nothing about NG or you would have never posted this "opinion" of her. I better stop here....don't like band camp!

What credibility? MO

[cantstandnuts]

I agree. That case is a no brainer.

You'd have to be living under a rock not to know about that case. NG is certainly not the only one reporting on it. If you don't like to hear her reporting, shut it off. Why is that a difficult concept for some to grasp?


This thread is about NG. All opinions should be welcome. I didn't see where this was a thread for just her fans.
I'm glad she has them, just not sure why she would. IMO

I disagree with your post. I never watched Nancy Grace until Caylee went missing and for months I never missed an episode. Now I have missed a few in the past few weeks, but I wouldn't tune in, if she wasn't taking about Caylee's case. I am obsessed with that case too and so are a lot of other people. If you look at the amount of posts on the Caylee threads and on other messageboards about this case -- a lot of people are still very interested in this case.

So if she stopped talking about Caylee, I'd stop watching her show and I am sure I am not alone.

I am sorry but this post made me laugh. You think that Casey, with ALL the evidence against her, will get off?? ha. And who cares if her lawyers argue she won't get an unbiased jury? Just because NG devotes a lot of time to this case doesn't mean that everyone in America watches it.

I am heavily invested in this case and have spent WAY too much time reading documents and watching interviews.. and I spend way too much time on the Caylee thread.. I try to talk about with friends and family, but no one has a clue what I am talking about really. All they know is Casey didn't report her missing for 31 days.. I talked to a friend the other day about it and she had never heard of Casey at all.

They certainly can find jurors who don't know much about the case and Casey can get a fair trial.

Why would Casey get away with MURDERING a child and then dumping the child in the woods to rot away, if Scott Peterson and all the other notorious killers who are now rotting away didn't get away with it?

Not happening. The girl has too much evidence on her and she's not getting away with what she has done.

GVS and GR's are not programs dedicated to missing children or crime. I don't know whether Nancy's program is intended for that sole purpose as we do not get it here. However, it is unfair imo to criticize GVS and GR when their programs are not meant to cover missing children solely.

First I must say that I Love NG and how she is always for the victims and I feel she really wants to help them. But I do get what you are saying. I do not watch her show very much. I used to watch it daily. I dont understand why that annoying banner of "BREAKING NEWS" is constantly scrolling when there really isn't any breaking news. Her show is very repetitive. This Casey story has been beat to death. I wish she would have recapped on the Phil Spector show, or any other case. The Casey situation is certainly not the only child murder/abuse/kidnapping in the USA. She seems to think it is. I dont mind her tooting her horn concerning her kids, because It must be amazing for her to have been able to have those twins. It is a blessing that she probably never thought would happen for her. I do get that and I enjoy seeing pictures of her babies.

But NG does need a new format. I used to love her on CTV.

So if she stopped talking about Caylee, I'd stop watching her show and I am sure I am not alone.

She's going to stop talking about Caylee eventually, that's just a fact. If she were really good at what she does, it wouldn't matter what she was talking about, people would tune in. She should be able to move on from Caylee and I really wonder why she hasn't. As someone else said, she is beating this case to death and it is time to bring another case into the spotlight. She could update on what's up with Casey but she should stop making it the whole show because there isn't enough to talk about there right now and there are other cases going on that deserve attention. IMO.

And I will probably stop watching Nancy's show when she stops talking about the case. I watch because I am interested in the Caylee Anthony case, not because of Nancy Grace. My point is that the case is a real ratings booster and a lot of people are very interested in the case, which is why she continues to cover it.

I agree that other cases deserve attention too, but it is all about the ratings in the television industry and if you do not have the ratings - soon you will not have a show. That is how they make their money and Casey's case sells. It is all about $$$, especially when you're in such a cut-throat business with such stiff competition.

Bad ratings = no advertisers = cancelled show.

imo

[forensicfan]

I've got to say that I agree that Nancy's overkill coverage of the Caylee Anthony case is gone above and beyond. There are a lot of other stories out there that she could be reporting on I'm sick of hearing about the Anthony's and I'm tired of seeing the same videos played over and over again every day. Time to move on at least until the trial starts.

[datagal]

So......for all of you who think Nancy's show is news. Well, I have NEWS FOR YOU! lol. Nancy's show is for Entertainment purposes only. Sort of like that one psychic lady. Ha!

I agree that Casey's case could sell once upon a time...but now that they just keep playing the same old "breaking news" about the case over and over again with nothing new to offer, it's time to think about other cases. This one is running out of steam and ratings will suffer soon if they don't change the focus. When the trial starts, they can start it all up again, but until then, it's all just a bunch of junk that everyone already knows about and is sick of hearing. There are plenty of other cases that would interest folks and IMO Casey Anthony is becoming old news...unless we think it's interesting to hear what she bought from the commissary to shove in her mouth. I don't.

[Olives]

I think Nancy Grace provides great coverage of the cases people are obsessed with, in this case the Caylee Anthony murder. People want to see this child get justice. I'm glad she covers the case.

[firsttoserve]

So sad that nancy didn't stay in the court system...She was much better at that, then entertainment....imo...:sad:

I really do think the case still is selling that is why Nancy continues to cover it but yeah, it is probably on its last legs. Heck, in a few months it will have already been a year since the non-stop coverage began. (believe it or not)... I agree about the constant talk about what Casey had to eat is ridiculous, as if Nancy really thinks that canned seafood ( barf) is a luxury. I don't know who she is trying to fool with that one.

But like I said, I will stop watching when she moves on because although she does repeat a lot - I stilll am obsessed with the case and still continue to watch her show... I guess I am just a sucker for the ratings ploy but I don't drink, smoke or do drugs and I rarely gamble.. I think I am entitled to a bad habit. :tonguewag:

Yeah, you are entitled if it floats your boat. I get it. I remember being completely tied into every bit of news I could get on certain cases.

Anyway, I would love to see coverage of Sandra Cantu or Tori Stafford. These cases are new and I think there's plenty to discuss there. I wish they'd find Tori. I wish they'd find Hayleigh Cummings. I wish there was more coverage of these cases and IMO Nancy Grace could make that happen and maybe even help get them found. I guess I wish she would and if she did, I may even be able to stomach her grating voice and the references she seems compelled to make about her own kids. It would be worth it if I felt she was helping, but with CA, it's already out there, we know what happened and it's all just a bunch of nonsense at this point until trial. Pointless. I wish there was a point to Nancy Grace's show. I just don't see one with what she's talking about now. JMO.
