On Nancy Grace: The Truth about Casey Anthony and Caylee Anthony’s Death.
HLN Nancy Grace show is a nationally syndicated talk show about crime aired each evening at 8 p.m. E.T.
Recently, a woman wrote a comment on The Blog of Nancy Grace in which she stated, “I watch Nancy Grace so I can get the facts of the case,” in reference to Casey Anthony or as Nancy Grace refers to her “tot mom”. I asked her why she needed the facts of “the case” to which I have still not received a reply.
Once a tragedy such as this, the murder of an infant, has been reported, why does anyone other than those actually involved such as attorneys and relatives, need facts about the case? Probably for the same reason they “need to know” how Michael Jackson “really died”. Curiosity and a need for good old entertainment. So if one wants the facts, why would one watch a show that really gives you no facts at all. The Nancy Grace show, most often, has only speculation as in the recent “Haleigh Cummings” sighting that turned out to be nothing more than a person of no credibility wanting a moment of fame.
There could be a lot of reasons you watch HLN’s, Nancy Grace show. Similarly, there could be many reasons you are concerned about The Casey Anthony case. After all, Caylee must not have died in vain. Right? It’s safe to say we all want justice where a little girl has been wronged and in this case brutally murdered. No one deserve that especially an innocent child. But why do you, if you do, take it so personally? There is a family on Word Press that talks about Caylee Anthony every day to get more hits on their blog which showcases their own children. On occasions when they do not discus the Caylee Anthony tragedy, they still have “Caylee Anthony” in their key words. More over, they have all the Anthony family in their tags. Why? Because they want to show you how normal and wonderful their family is.
Nancy Grace once stated that she could not understand how someone would not attend to a hurt child immediately in reference to suspicion that Caylee would have had some accident and been hurt. She followed her comment with the story of how when her son fell and hurt himself, she ran into the street screaming for a cab. So, Nancy actually wanted to let her audience know that she was a better mother than an accused child murderer. Her main point was that you should believe what she says because she’s good. Nancy Grace often thinks like a child with the tongue of a demon. Nancy Grace and her seven personalities, are nothing more than an act playing off of your hunger for “the facts”. She’s right about that; you do want facts. But where ARE the facts? She promises breaking news. Nancy Grace promises facts. She asks, WHERE IS LITTLE ______” But nothing she has done on her show has ever led to finding a missing child.
So, why ARE you concerned with little Caylee? Because Nancy makes it seem that you should be? Everyone should be informed as long as they agree with Nancy Grace “Twin Tot Mom” because even the most prominent defense attorneys are incompetent according to Nancy Grace. Nancy even fake cries to convince everyone that it’s important to know what happened to Caylee Anthony. But what might you say if I told you that it isn’t important that you know nor is it important that I know what happened to Caylee Anthony? I frankly do not care what happened to Caylee: if Casey killed her, what Cindy thinks, what George said or what the trial attorney’s are saying prior to the actual trial. I don’t care what the media has said or will say and I don’t care because in my life it makes no difference and because I can’t make a difference in their lives either.
So once again, why are you concerned with what actually happened to Caylee Anthony? What if Casey did Kill her daughter. How will that change your life? What if Casey is hiding the fact that a “one night stand” killed Caylee? How will that effect you? Here’s one for you. What if Casey’s drug dealer had threatened to kill her if she talked about how Caylee was actually killed? What if her drug dealer was sending her a message by killing Caylee? That’s what I think really happened. Why else would she never speak of the truth to even her closest and dearest relatives? Why were some of Caylee’s most personal effects present with the body and why was a sticker put OVER HER MOUTH? Something over someone’s mouth symbolizes that they should be quiet—-not speak. If this does not look like a message to Casey, what does it mean? So how far fetched is it that she has no choice because if she does reveal the truth, she’ll be killed. I can’t think of any other reason, can you? She probably owed someone a lot of money. This person was waiting for her to pay him or her. The money didn’t come in time to save Caylee. Casey went out partying to try to ignore and forget. Her mind became ill with guilt and defense mechanisms took over. She knew she had causes her daughter’s death and she needed life to be beautiful again, hence her new tattoo. She didn’t kill Casey. But she can’t tell us what really happened. That would be a definite death sentence and possibly for her parents as well. After all, someone already killed her baby.
But, what is the point of knowing? Why do I need to speculate? The answer is quite simple. I don’t. And neither do you. This should be left up to the detectives who are working the case in the real world–not the Nancy Grace entertainment world. That world is more dangerous than we may know. It influences our opinions and thinking such that bad things may come of it. Why?– Because there aren’t real facts being presented.
The Nancy Grace entertainment hour in which she screams at guests and berates parents is brilliant in that it sells commercial time for big money. But, to gain some important perspective, an entertainment hour is really all it is. So when a woman or man tells me “I want to get the facts of the case” I have to laugh. I think they are either stupid or delusional. There are no facts and there really is no “case” at least not in the fantasy world of the Nancy Grace Hour. If you actually care about a child you have never met, never known and who is now deceased enough to crave information on a daily basis, at least get your news from a credible source. I watch Nancy Grace sometimes. Because of this blog, I watch her more often. Although this blog is about Nancy Grace and nothing but Nancy Grace, I still do not watch Nancy Grace every night. I have not watched her show in two nights and I’m sure I didn’t miss a thing. If there was one actual fact revealed about any case on Twin Tot Mom’s show, you could have gotten that same news a day earlier by picking up a paper. If for the first time in the history of the Nancy Grace show, there was actually some breaking news or “urgent breaking news” be sure to let us know. And to my point, that you really don’t need to know anything Nancy Grace talks about during her hour of fame, what makes the “breaking news” so urgent? Is there anything we viewers can do to make the situation better? Do you see the manipulative psychology here? “Urgent” means something that requires immediate attention. So, it makes you feel good about yourself if her producers consider you so important that they call the news they deliver to you “urgent”. It’s urgent that YOU know. And some of you such as the lady who wrote to me who I referenced at the beginning of this article buy into it and think you “need” to know the “facts of the case”
Has our society become so sick that all we can do is eat things that companies tell us are good that actually kill us, watch things that don’t really matter because we think they do and talk about things ad nauseum that we can have no effect on good or bad? My wife went to a European health food store yesterday and purchased many “sweet things” such as cookies and candy and cereal. They have less then 25% of the sugar, on average, than their American produced counterparts. Some of them are from Italy, some from other parts of Europe. Why do Americans eat 80 pounds of sugar / year? Because the companies that advertise tell us to. Why do you care about a child who was murdered that you will never know and never did know? Because someone told you to. In this case it was Nancy Grace.
In short, we have a choice because this is The United States of America. If you let big business that spends millions of dollars on advertising dictate what you eat, do and watch you will have high blood pressure, die of cancer or a heart attack and be a social hermit who relies on sick media like HLN that exists solely to make money by selling advertising, for your perception of reality.
Will you just sit there eating cheese balls and drinking cola? Will you find something in the world that really can help you have a true understanding of your world?Do you know what the senate does? Do you understand what the role of a congressman is? Do you know the name of the Surgeon General of the United States? Probably not, but you do know what Casey Anthony said to Cindy Anthony a month ago.
It’s your turn to talk now. You have the power to not waste time believing that watching something like Nancy Grace is “important”. There are things that are important. Find them.
You have the power to turn off the opium. First you have to see it for what it is. Nancy Grace and Sugar. That’s what I’m talking about. Neither will make you richer or better looking and most importantly, neither will make you more knowledgeable. Quality thought can only come from reading and watching something of quality.
I will be the first person to admit that I like white bread more than any other kind of bread. I even like it with bologna and mayo. Why? Because I was trained to like it. Our children like Count Chocula for the same reason. It’s at their eye level in the supermarket for the same reason. Consumer manipulation. Change is difficult. But in the long run, it really is worth it. Ironically, in endeavoring to become informed, many of us buy into buying into what we’re told we should know, like and buy. After all, if you believe that Nancy Grace brings you any actual “breaking news” you probably would believe it if she told you or if one of her advertisers told you that eating sugar coated sugar is good for you.
So, one reader wrote to me the other day to let me know that she “eats a healthy diet” and she “eats no junk food” She also watches Nancy Grace to get “the facts of the case”. This article is for her. I rest my case.
Nancy Grace Show: Annie Le Disappears into thin air! / Still no sign of Haleigh Cummings!
Nancy Grace host of HLN’s “Nancy Grace Show” at 8 p.m. EST
The creature of our legal system has raised it’s ugly head. Watch Nancy Grace and see how innocent people are sometimes victimized on the stand, in court. Imagine that you are that person. Imagine that you have been falsely accused. Let’s face it, many people have ended up on death row and as of late, been released after DNA tests have shown that it was, in fact, impossible that they were the person who committed the crime. Prosecutor’s jobs are to question and destroy. Nancy was great at it. Now, she attempts to destroy people on her show. She is also successful there. Please don’t even attempt to convince me that Melinda Duckett would not be alive today were it not for Nancy’s harshness in questioning her when she was obviously emotionally unstable and incapable of rational thought. So if any of you want to question my motives, please don’t. My motives are to inform, entertain and hopefully get some interesting commentary from you. Why is Nancy Grace the topic of this blog. Mainly because people are interested in reading about her. That’s the only reason. I may change the topic of this blog at any time without notice. Until I do, keep reading. Eventually you will see that this blog really has nothing to do with DTM Nancy Grace.
Annie Le, a Yale doctoral student in pharmacology, has not been seen since she left her laboratory Tuesday. Her purse, cell phone, credit cards and money were found in her office. It seems as though Annie has disappeared into thin air. Nancy for once did not scream “WHAT HAPPENED TO ANNIE LE?” I am both pleasantly surprised and a little shocked.
I’m also shocked that the now infamous Massachusetts “sighting” of Haleigh Cummings did not receive a single word on tonight’s Nancy Grace Show on HLN. Is this because she did almost an entire show on some crackpots hallucination and now can’t bear to admit she wasted her viewer’s time. But wait! Double Tot Mom, Nancy Grace did NOT waste our time. After all, we got to see her even though she was talking about some maniacal fairy tale that held no water, for almost an hour. Why doesn’t Nancy show us those famous video tapes from the Wal-Mart now? She and her talking heads could talk about why Haleigh really isn’t on the video and how we were “all” duped. During the show it came out that the little person identified as Haleigh could have been a boy or a girl. Now that’s an ID I’d bet the farm on! Topics will run thin boys and girls! Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at the rest of tonight’s show.
Nancy informed us that Haleigh Cummings’ father, Ronald Cummings, according to Nancy does not believe his now wife, “Misty” about her whereabouts the night of Haleigh’s disappearance. Alright, I’ll say it. WHERE IS LITTLE HALEIGH?!!!! Misty, as you know flunked all the psychological tests including the lie detector test she was given and continues to change the details of her story about what exactly happened and in what sequence. Was Misty out partying while a stranger or someone they knew came in and snatched her? (driving music just before the commercial)
And now for THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE DAY! Nancy has a fan who has a birthday today. She likes to go to Chik fil-A and often dresses up in a cow suit so she can get a free meal! I could not have lived another moment without knowing that.
This had to have been one of the most interesting shows I think I’ve ever seen. I will note that DTM did not say, “What’s your question dear?” even once. She did, however, say, “Dear, what’s your question?” Do you think DTM has been secretly watching this blog?
All I know is, I’m out of cheese balls so, I’m gonna dress up like a Prima Ballerina and go down to the local Sonic for a nice Cherry Lime aide and some peace of mind. It’s nice to think in the car while you eat quality junk food. Is that an oxymoron?
That’s all I’ve got today. Until tomorrow, Goodnight Friend. Yes you are all my friends. Anyone reading this blog is my best friend. You may be a murderer, rapist, drug selling scumbag, but yep, all of you are my friends. Why? I want hits like Nancy wants ratings. It’s what I live for. I hope to sell a book about how I made the most successful blog in history. And I need you. I need you to come here every night and read this crap I write about Nancy Grace. You watch Nancy, so you must need something to do that is both simple and entertaining. I promise to entertain you if you will just keep coming I love you all. Goodnight Friend.
(Music begins) I’m so glad we’ve had this time together. Just to have a laugh or sing a song. Seems we just get started and before you know it. Comes the time we have to say “so long”.

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.
CNN’s Nancy Grace Show: Tonight’s guest–Sigmund Freud
According to USAToday.com, “Nancy Grace is on the case”. In an article by author “Peter Johnson”, Grace states about defense attorneys,
“when people say defense lawyers are just doing their jobs and are necessary for our system, you could say that about a lot of people who claim they’re just doing their jobs. You could say that about the guards at Auschwitz.” In the same article Johnson states, “For Grace, anyone who has been charged must be guilty,” TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz wrote last year in The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J. Grace “never goes a day without blowing a gasket over whatever case she happens to be discussing … throwing journalistic objectivity in the nearest dumpster, slamming defense attorneys as pimps in fancy suits and declaring defendants guilty because, well, they just seem guilty.”
Grace stated in the same interview, “our Founding Fathers wanted courthouses to be big enough for the whole community to come in and watch justice unfold. I think that’s what our whole show is all about.”
Is it any wonder that Fox News powerhouse Bill O’Reilly more than quadruples Nancy Grace’s TV ratings? After all, Grace is so predictable. Just tune in once and you’ve seen every show although sometimes there’s a different victim. And our founding fathers I dare say would be appalled by Nancy Grace and her show. I doubt for even a moment that any of the founding fathers of our great country would have wanted defendants tried in public, unofficially prior to the actual trial with little or no evidence other than the opinion of a woman with an agenda. I seriously doubt the founding fathers would have wanted any media to liken defense attorney’s to “guards at Auschwitz”.
In the name of “ratings” CNN has given up on it’s primary mission; to present news that is objective and unbiased. While news shows have become increasingly more partisan in recent years, how far over the proverbial line must a news show go to be called on the carpet as being dangerous? Calling the Nancy Grace Show “news” is like putting lipstick on a pig. So, why does her following increase? Why does the Nancy Grace Show continue to climb in the ratings? Because ignorant people love to see tragedy. Underdogs love to see “justice” whether it be real or imaginary. And replacing action with talk is what most weak minded people are all about.
Listen to any caller who gets on Nancy Grace’s show. They are carefully screened and hand picked certified morons. They ask questions as though the case is being tried on the air. Well—–it is, at least to them. Sadly, how can this type of legal advertisement for the prosecution not effect a potential jury? I’m not sure CNN or Nancy Grace really have much concern about justice for, had they any conscience they would not presume that anyone is guilty prior to an actual trial. They might examine facts and have conversation but, that would be responsible and the viewers would not like that as much. It’s much more interesting to be angry and cruel to anyone who happens to be down regardless of their guilt of innocence. Let’s face it the “kick em when their down” mentality is what most uneducated people, who do not think with logic or real compassion adhere to. Why? Because it’s easy and it makes them feel they are more important because they are “good”
Until Nancy gets the proper therapy and learns to better deal with her unconscious hostility, she will continue to spew her erroneous testimony about the airwaves. Doing so, will in no way bring her ex Fiance “Keith Griffin” back from the dead. I feel sad for Nancy because, she could learn to have inner peace about her tragedy but instead of seeking it in a healthy and ethical way, she chooses to find guilt around her to punish as though it will mend or negate what happened in her past. The only path to enlightenment is self exploration yet, Nancy is always looking outward; lashing out at everyone she can with fervor and gusto. She relishes her sadistic discourse as in one moment she attacks and in the next she fake cries her way into the hearts of all the professional victims of the world.
Why is this happening? It is happening because you allow it to happen. We all have a voice in this county. Rarely do we find the time to exercise our voices. We prefer to allow our politicians to speak for us. I think they have more important things to do than worry about Grace. But in the long run, what is this type of show doing to our people? The show that makes it look like it’s unsafe to walk down the street and the show that makes one wonder if their own spouse will go crazy at any moment.
It is time to complain politely to CNN and to let them know that we will not stand for this type of hypocritical nonsense– A servant of the law indoctrinating the ignorant into believing that our legal system does not work. We have the best legal system in the world. Yet Nancy in her infinite wisdom has decided that we should hang anyone accused of anything with no trial. Reasonable doubt begins with the word “reason” which is what I think the news could use a lot more of. People may use emotions, feelings, and unsubstantiated opinions to easily convict the innocent. This is the very reason we have a court system and trial by jury. It does not take Sigmund Freud to figure that out.
