Why hasn't Nancy Grace Been Fired?

(source: Huffington Post)

(snip)

She's untruthful, unethical, hateful and often wrong. She makes America worse. Can her.

There she went again, smearing her vile invective across our screens, diminishing us all as human beings.

Poking her stink finger into another none-of-her-business, Nancy Grace managed to make the death of Whitney Houston somehow more tawdry. "I'd like to know," the HLN host spew mused last week, "who let her slip or pushed her underneath that water." She later unapologized on Good Morning America, regarding Dan Abrams appeals to decency as "arguing with me over semantics," accusing him of having gone to Harvard Law School and defending her blithe murder charges with her go-to pretense: "I still want the truth."

The truth, to Nancy Grace, is whatever is handy and profitable. Her truth was that Gary Condit murdered Chandra Levy. Her truth was that the Duke lacrosse team raped Crystal Gail Mangum. Her truth was that Richard Ricci kidnapped Elizabeth Smart (when it later became true he did not, but had unfortunately died in custody, Grace said, "I'm not going on a guilt trip.&quot

Preferably fired into the sun. But I'll settle for being no longer allowed on TV.

but have caught snatches of her in hotels or even on Sirius, goddess help us...

Is she what is responsible in part for the attitude and snark of Repub candidates? Has she contributed in large part to the tacky, crude, rude, "graceless" talk and atmosphere of the public square?

It's all about people saying anything, "going there," any more, just for attention and ratings. And I'm NOT* referring to uncovering homophobia, ragged poverty, or the sex trade - I'm talking about birtherism, "death panels," and Satan...

...the logic of due process. In her moralistic rage to punish wrongdoers the dispassionate working of the legal system is irrelevant to here.

Never will either. She can't be gone soon enough for the evil she has done.

this being tearing down the people's self image, that's why I doubt she will ever be fired unless for some reason she pisses off her corporate supremacist masters and I don't see that happening.

She's an integral part of the subliminal propaganda machine which conditions the American Peoples' psyche to accept and support a draconian police state housing the world's record breaking number of prisoners, currently at 2.3 million here in the land of the free and home of the brave.

"She's untruthful, unethical, hateful and often wrong. She makes America worse. Can her."

"Making America worse" is subjective if you're a corporate supremacist; believing a docile populaton consumed by fear and hatred is necessary to further the aims of corporate dominance over the people, then Nancy Grace is your John the Baptist.

Thanks for the thread, Ken Burch.
