BOMBSHELL TONIGHT! Will Nancy Grace fall from grace?

BOMBSHELL tonight! All you ever wanted was the truth right? “Where was” and now, “Who killed” little Caley Anthony? Nancy Grace of CNN’s Nancy Grace Show that airs on HLN every night at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. has asked these questions many times. She used to ask, “Where is little Caley?” Being that Caley’s body was: found in a garbage bag, skeleton-ized, chewed upon by animals and beheaded (her skull was found away from the rest of her skeletal remains) makes one wonder exactly how much good The Nancy Grace Show really does in solving mysteries. While Nancy Grace was entertaining those with a hunger for perversity, misfortune, senseless aggression, inappropriate commentary, slanderous accusations and verbal abuse of talking heads, not to mention incoherent questions called in by her carefully screened “guests”, Caley was already dead. Nancy calls upon her experience as a prosecutor for credibility assuming that we should not question her opinions because they are, “based on her experience”, beyond reproach. She makes that clear when any of her guests choose not to agree with her, a choice that is not permissible on her show. Nancy refers to Casey Anthony as “Tot Mom” rarely ever using her actual name. (See quote at start of article for example of Grace’s personal moral code) She wants you to hate Casey with a passion that will drive you to watch tomorrow night. Like a mesmerized automaton, you tune in because you really have no choice. You need her catch phrases, her predictable “take charge” approach to beating down her guests and that way she has of turning Jean Casarez into a dinosaur. “Jenkasaurus weigh in!” Who is Jean Casarez? According to Wikipedia:

Casarez is a member of the Nevada and Texas bars, licensed in the Southern District of Texas Federal Court.[1] She joined Court TV in January 2003 from KOLO-TV in Reno, Nevada, where she was a weekend anchor and legal reporter, before which she produced the news magazine show First Edition and served as the City Hall reporter and fill-in anchor at KENS-TV in San Antonio, Texas.
In addition to her legal background and journalism career, Casarez has recorded six albums in Spanish for the International divisions of CBS and Capitol EMI Records, thus touring throughout the U.S. and Mexico; Casarez was also nominated for numerous awards.

Why does “Jenkasaurus” put up with Nancy? I don’t know. I would like to know why anyone would allow someone to habitually mispronounce their name, and cut them off when they do not like what is being said. But I digress.

It may seem that there is no hope of finding out the truth about how Caley Anthony died. Now that the trial is in it’s summation and everyone who cares about “the case” is watching to see if Casey will be sentenced to death, you know, those with no jobs by choice who sit at home in their “double wide” drinking store brand grape soda and scarfing down mass quantities of generic cheese balls, it is still impossible to postulate a logical or even reasonable theory of how Caley died. Nevertheless, I am going to provide a theory that I believe will finally shed light upon what actually happened. What detectives missed is what was most obvious.

There was a reason that Casey believed she had to get rid of her daughter. It was not the pressure of being a mom that made Casey crack. She had plenty of help taking care of Caley. Casey is a psychopath who thinks only of what is convenient for herself. That’s right–“convenient”. It wasn’t convenient or fun any more having Caley. So this very sick woman, thought night and day of how to end Caley’s life until one day, she did. There were no accidents-no kidnappings and no well planned ideas. Why was Caley’s murder not well planned? It was not well planned because Casey isn’t very smart. If you listen to her talking on the jail tapes it’s clear that she must have a very low IQ. “Dad you’ll always be my buddy”. Gee that’s what every dad wants to hear from his daughter across the bullet proof glass. Her daughter is dead, she’s in jail and she wants her dad to go to sleep by telling him that he’s still her buddy. There’s a woman who had to have lost her place in line when the brains were being passed out. She couldn’t see or didn’t care that George just wanted to hear something -anything that remotely resembled the truth about the whereabouts of his grand daughter. But again I ask why do we really care about this?

Last week Jane V told her audience that they should care and that although there were “people” making commentary about why it isn’t right to care about someone you really don’t know or to follow it faithfully, they were right to care. She referenced the moms out there who care about their children and how they may relate to this awful tale. I DISAGREE Jane. And so should all of you. Watching is nothing more than entertainment. The proof is in the pudding. We can do no good. We can have no effect because we are irrelevant. Moreover, the trial is not educational in any way unless you are studying to be an attorney. I have to admit that I enjoy watching a few minutes here and there for the entertainment value. I don’t delude myself into believing that it is “important” that I know “the facts of the case” however.

Now as we all know, the actual trial of Casey Anthony is on FOX, CNN and MSNBC all day. MSNBC usually splits the screen so you can see Casey Anthony’s face which is very interesting. Thus, anything you see on HLN’s Nancy Grace’s “Tragedy Hour” will be a rehash. Isn’t that what Tivo is for? (Did I spell that right cause I don’t have it). If you really want to know what is happening, why not watch the real thing without all the glorification? Jane you, Nancy and the rest of the “criminologists” on HLN, can not provide anything more than heart wrenching speculation for the masses of lonely, sexually frustrated do-gooders who seek to vicariously bring justice to those who have been wronged. Thus, you are “entertaining” and that is all. If you are reading this and asking “exactly why do I spend so much time at night watching Nancy and Jane when I could actually be spending quality time with my partner or spouse” than work that out. Check the internet any time of the year and you will find millions of registered users on “married and looking” sites. This is because their partners are ignoring them and doing things that aren’t really that important e.g.(watching Nancy Grace talk about nothing important to your life). Life is short. Do you really want to waste it? Do you know how many great things there are in this life to do? You sit there and watch a woman who makes a lot of money talk about people she really knows nothing about in reality, and for what? Entertainment can come in many forms. Does tragedy entertain you? It entertains most people. But if it is your every night focus than you must ask, why. If you watch “the facts” about Casey Anthony through the distorted opinions and speculation of Nancy’s guests who seek their own fame and fortune (Jenkasaurus the friendly dinosaur for example) are you any better than the perps Nancy is fake disgusted by? If you enjoy filling your mind with murder, rape and child abuse what exactly does this say about you. Let’s face it, it isn’t as though there is a Casey Anthony crime wave that we all must be aware of. This is nothing more than a way of making dollars by getting you to watch. And you do. Just as the Roman’s sat and watched the Lions tear apart their human prey with sadistic delight, you turn Nancy on and sit back with a nice bag of cheese balls and a cold can of malt liquor. You make it possible to perpetuate the impossibility of finding an unbiased jury. But do you care?

No one knows if Casey Anthony murdered her daughter; no one ever will know for sure. But as long as there are people who love to see torment and misfortune, horror and sadness, there will always be a Nancy Grace waiting to inspire the worst within all of us-that part of us that needs to see someone less fortunate than ourselves. Putting this in perspective takes a lot of introspection or an event that forces us to look beyond pleasant diversions. Nancy exists to distract us to the extent that we may never see how shallow all of that really is. In the world of true meaning, there is no Nancy. She only exists within the electronic airwaves that permeate the minds of the most ignorant of viewers or those who just have nothing better to do than watch with glee as Nancy regurgitates her repetitive, nauseating catch-phrases to tear jerking images, melodramatic music and three dimensional graphics. Will Nancy Grace fall from grace? I doubt it.
