Nancy Grace show: Haleigh Cummings spotted? Tot mom, Casey Anthony insults George Anthony!

I was wrong. Nancy Grace is still the unprofessional, aggressive ass she has always been on the air. Her behavior begs the question, “just how rude can a person possibly be?” For example Nancy Grace referred to Casey Anthony several times, merely as “tot mom” now without even saying her actual name. She cut off her talking head guests numerous times insulting them as though they are her loyal subjects with no voice.

Nancy for a solid thirty minutes conducted a show about nothing. Nancy and her “experts” talking about how they have NOTHING to tell the viewers. (Be sure to view the video in full screen mode so as not to lose the effect of all those incredible and exciting graphics Nancy has!) It was supposed to be about Haleigh Cummings having been sited at a Wal-Mart Store in Massechusetts. Yes, of course, it had to be Haleigh. Virtually everyone on the show gave comment and opinions about if it could be or should be or would be Haleigh Cummings. They talked about how many cameras there were at Wal-Mart stores. They talked about the fact that no one had any film they could show of the little girl identified as Haleigh. The truth is, no one really knew anything. They took a headline and made an entire show out of nothing. Bravo Nancy producers! I was not disappointed. After all, why would I be. Nancy Fuels this blog.

I started writing this blog several weeks ago. The actual purpose of the blog was to learn how to blog. I had never done this before. WordPress makes it so easy! I have to say for a beginner, this is a great place to learn about blogging. In the course of writing commentary I noticed that my hits skyrocketed when I mentioned Nancy Grace and especially Cayley or Casey Anthony. So, having watched and become horrified by this double tot mom before (Nancy Grace has twins and is thus a double tot mom) I decided that I would experiment and see why she is so popular. What is it that fuels her show? Now I understand. What fuels Nancy’s show is the pleasure people take in being entertained —-nothing more. What entertains people? Nancy Grace does with her stories of horror that make the average person’s life seem pretty alright. Add to that the fact that most of Nancy’s fans are white bread eating, fatback cooking, processed meat devouring cretons oooops, I almost forgot, “beer guzzling”, and you understand what the attraction is. And man does it sell commercials.

Now I can’t speak for anyone but myself when I say, it’s not very ethical to sensationalize the misery or the ignorance of others. But Nancy is a very intelligent and educated woman. so, what exactly is it that she is doing other than exactly that? She can talk or question circles around anyone on her show, and she does. For what? In a word–profit.
Nancy Grace has a new book out. She talks about it on her show. She wants YOU to love her so she talks about “the twins” to endear herself to you. She’s a wonderful mom! Well, I don’t really know about that, I’m just saying….

Nancy has only one goal. To further her career.
If Nancy Grace was truly concerned with finding little “whoever of the moment” She would spend more time talking about facts and less talking about her own opinions which are always “people who hurt children are very bad and usually family members” and “incompetence is frustrating in the investigation of crime” and “liars and cheaters are not cooperative and therefore guilty of murder”. The recurrent themes are the primary messages of every show. So why do people watch The Nancy Grace Comedy Hour? Because they’re drunk, full of white bread and therefore on a sugar high, broke, ignorant, lazy and bored. But let’s not forget the victims of the world who identify with Nancy. There are many people who blame everything but themselves for everything that happens to them. And for this reason their feelings are always hurt and they are always the victims of injustice. They get fired, their families mistreat them, their husbands, don’t understand them etc etc. These are the people who want to see Nancy Grace justice!

What crime has Nancy Grace helped to solve? None that I know of. She did manage to get a woman to croak herself after questioning her so harshly that she couldn’t stand to live any more. Melinda Duckett will never be charged and Nancy’s aggressive inquisition pretty much ensured that no one will ever know what happened to Melinda Duckett’s little boy. Yes, we all know about that. But, let me be fair. If you can think of one single instance when the Nancy Grace show contributed meaningfully to the rescue of any missing person, please respond on this blog on her behalf.

IN THE SECOND PART OF LAST NIGHT’S SHOW:
It would have been great if Nancy could have asked Casey Anthony why she won’t tell her father what happened to her daughter. But Casey won’t talk to the media any more. Nancy has made sure of that by covering the case with such blatant mis-care, for example playing tapes unbeknownst to Casey Anthony of her speaking with her family, that she destroyed any chance anyone has of ever questioning her again prior to an actual trial. Therein lies the irony. Nancy wants to try Casey Anthony before she gets to court and to find her guilty. But, now that won’t be possible. Well, no matter, because Nancy can talk about nothing forever! Just add some driving music and some excellent graphics and there you have it, a great show! Talking heads talking about why there’s nothing to talk about! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get some more white bread at the market and I’m almost out of beer.

Nancy Grace Softens Under Pressure?

Nancy Ann Grace (born October 23, 1959) is an American legal commentator, television host, and former prosecutor. She frequently discusses issues from what she describes as a victims’ rights standpoint, with an outspoken style that has won her both praise and condemnation. She is the host of Nancy Grace, a nightly current affairs show on HLN

To anyone watching HLN’s “Nancy Grace Show” last night it looked as though Nancy had taken some time off to think about her demeanor and behavior that many empathetic people have criticized for some time.

Nancy interviewed the father of missing Haleigh Cummings, “Ronald Cummings”
and although the segment was designed to question whether he wondered if his wife Misty knew more than she was admitting about Haleigh’s disappearance, Nancy didn’t use her usual hard line interrogation technique with no regard for the person she is questioning. It was easy to see just how tempting it was for Nancy Grace to fire away at Cummings. After all, he is not the most savory of characters. He lives in a trailer with his minor wife, Misty. He has had numerous problems with law enforcement including a recent episode in which he is accused of assaulting his wifes father and brother in their own home. This was apparently the result of his wife Misty calling and asking her family to pick her up after she claimed that her husband had beat her. Yes I can see how Nancy might have been temped. Clearly, Cummings has violent tendencies. He has reportedly been investigated in the past for beating Haleigh. Now she’s missing. It certainly looks suspicious. But, Nancy controlled herself and asked good questions in a civil but stern tone. Quite frankly I was amazed at the change in her style. She appeared to be more credible than I have ever seen her. There were no talking heads spouting worthless opinions, no screaming or crying antics—just good questions. If in fact, this is the new Nancy Grace, let me say, congratulations Nancy! I hope this trend continues with one exception. Once again, Nancy had to bring “the twins” into the her commentary. She said that if she came home and found out the twins were gone……..etc. Does she need to state how she would feel if her children were gone in order to find out how one of the guest on her show felt when he discovered his child missing. And isn’t the questions a little obvious. Commentators and talk show hosts often ask the obvious. But why must they ask “how did you feel?” Michael Jackson’s daughter was asked shortly after his death how she felt. Does anyone really need to ask? It was obvious the child was in pain.
This is what I call ratings booting at the expense of showing a person proper respect at a difficult time. So, Nancy, you still have a little more work to do. But in general, this last show was a huge improvement.

I am not so presumptuous as to think that Nancy actually reads what I write. And were she to read this article she might be offended by my supposing that she has “softened”. After all, it is safe to deduce based on Nancy’s past shows that she relishes her tough reputation. The point is, it isn’t necessary to be rude and degrading to be tough. I hope that is what she has finally realized. Perhaps we will have another glimpse of her new style tonight. if so, I will have more to say about it later.
