Totally off topic...Nancy Grace -love her or hate her

Just wondering what the faction here thinks. I have to admit I rarely miss her show.

Wife loves her show. I find her to be a drama queen and I can't stand her "Goodnight Friend" sign off. I do like the fact that she calls BS when she sees it, I just don't like her style.

If I thought she was genuine, I would enjoy her show a bit more, but I watch it with my fiancé occasionally because of the topics.

I also don't like the fact that she rarely lets anyone offer a difference of opinion without being cut off almost immediately.

I've never even heard of Nancy Grace. Who is she? What channel is her show on and when?

HATE her.

Grace is a poster child for the decline of TV news, emphasizing the melodramatic and sensational over the substantive and topical, and always interjecting her emotion and bias into the story.

She sucks. A windbag with a Southern accent, nothing more.

The only broad in the TV news business more annoying than Nancy Grace is Rita Cosby. She is completely insufferable.

Take care,
PK

Can't stand her.

I hate the way she sits at an angle to the camera and gives you like a 3/4 profile...HIGHLY ANNOYING.

-Ray!!!

Ditto.

I've come to the point where I can see right through most of these "news" stories within the first 30 seconds. I thought news was based on reporting facts. It seems like 98% of the stuff on CNN, CSPAN, MSNBC, etc.. is editorial content disguied as news. Whatever happened to giving us facts, even if there are some from differing sides, and letting us make up our own minds? Oh yeah, we're not supposed to have a real opinion of our own based on individual thought. Just sit back and soak it in, and then reiterate what was said, because they know what is right for you.

Sorry for the rant, but I have become very frustrated with most "news" outlets lately. I want real facts, maybe a little opinion from different sidesm and let me be the judge.

I would agree with you on Rita Cosby without a doubt. That has got to be the worst voice on TV. It was kind of funny the other night as she was a witness to Tookie Williams execution. When she was at the podium afterwards for interviews one of the reporters asked who she was!!

How can anyone not love that husky smoker voice of hers?

What PK said is exactly how I feel about Nancy. Just horrible and a waste of time. I had an unfortunate night of catching her talking about the girl who was kidnapped in Aruba. Her reporting was horrible and when someone offered something else of an opinion she stopped them and started back on her own opinion.

Needless to say I can't stand her.

LOL. Some of that is probably a factor of her timeslot on the West Coast. I only hear about the news channel personalities out here because their shows are broadcast while I'm working, running or eating. It's only when I travel back East that I get a chance to see what all the fuss is about.

Something tells me that voice was obtained from sucking gallons of man splooge, not cigarette smoke.

I hear that's how Rod Stewart got his voice, too.

While I can't stand the TV news, I have to say that O'Reilly has been more entertaining than most sitcoms lately. His War on Christmas stuff is a comedy gold mine.

I have no idea who she is or why I should care.

RobVarak · Post by **RobVarak** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 7:05 pm

I am so repelled by her delivery that I'm unable to stick around long enough to form a distinct opinion. I just find her disturbing. Actually, in that respect she reminds me of a lot of the prosecutors whom I know personally

rubba19 · Post by **rubba19** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 11:26 pm

I would almost equate her to a female Morton Downey Jr. They were both so easy to see where the line of questioning was going, it wasn't even funny.

Although both could/can be entertaining, their irritiating voices and mannerisms kill anything valuable they may bring out.

Yep...Rum and coke night.

Well, I've never seen her whole show, but I once tjung-ed it for about two minutes and found her to be quite insufferable as well.

Please when referal to females, please post a pic. This will have direct correlation wheather I love or hate.

I can only imagine. I tell you, one of the few benefits of living in the middle of nowhere is that you at least get the "real" news feeds from CNN and BBC. I can't believe the crap that passes for hard news in the States.
