Should CNN'S Headline Nancy Grace be fired from CNN?

Question

Long story short, Nancy Grace is a legal analysts for CNN. She was questioning a 21 year old mother about the disappearance of the mother's child. The mother is obviously distraught during the interview, but Nancy Grace is literally interrogating this young mother as if she's being tried by Judge and Jury. After the interview, it was learned that the 21 year old mother took a shot gun and shot herself in the head. Very tragic. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

SHE SHOULD BE FIRED. Both CNN and Nancy Grace will be sued. In a civil law suit it will be easy to find that:

1) her actions were intentional
2) those actions effected the young mother
3) the suicide was likely a result of it.

During a recent Good Morning America (GMA) interview she deliberately circumvented all questions concerning her role in this situation and never showed remorse. (Planning a defense for the impending lawsuit). As a true layer, she will never admit to any wrong doing by using techniques such as re-diverting (like focusing on the young mother's history of suicide and abuse), changing the issue (by focusing on missing child instead of her actions), giving an answer to a question that was never asked or appealing to emotions that are far removed from herself.

Besides if Nancy Grace knew about the emotional and psychological instability of the young mother, she should have not pushed so hard?

I don't know if she should be fired for something she had no real control over (the lady killing herself) I do, however, think CNN should take a long hard look at the interviewing skills, and sometimes totally inappropriate way she conducts interviews on air. I am kind of split down the middle on Nancy Grace. She is a decent reporter. She is not afraid to ask tough hard hitting questions, but while doing that, she sometimes crosses over the line of responsible journalism. I think she tries to become part of every story she presents, and that is not a good thing. She usually just tosses objectivity right out of the window.
Although it is a tragic situation that the young mother ended her own life after being "brow-beaten" by Nancy Grace, but who's to say that this young lady would have not killed herself even if she had not been pushed around on a TV program. The young lady consented to doing the interview. She should have known that a tabloid journalist like Nancy Grace would take advantage of her during the interview, and refused to grant the interview in the first place.
To sum things up, Nancy Grace is like a Pit-Bull. If you are on her good side, she can be a good friend. But if you get on her bad side, she can literally bite your head off.

The problem is that CNN in its never ending quest for ratings has stooped so low as to keep such a sensationalistic legal "commentator" as Nancy Grace. I never thought I would see the day when CNN would hire obviously subjective "journalistic" hosts who don't even pretend to be fair and balanced reporting the news. Grace, in her quest to be hard hitting and journalistic, hits below the belt in a National Enquirer sort of way that appears very mean spirited. Hard hitting jouranlist types never lose their objectivity and explode into emotionalism as does Nancy Grace. They're searching for a story, not trying to make a name for themselves by being an advocate for victims as is NG.

It's disgracefuMF That mother was obviously depressed and distraught (what parent of a missing two year old child wouldn't be?) and Nancy Grace didn't have enough humanity, humility or "grace" to see that. You can't always scream at your sources; sometimes being gentle will get you as much information as belittling and screaming. She practically indicted that poor woman on television.

Answer 5

While I recognise that Nancy must have at least a modicum of intelligence to be in the position that she is in, she strikes me as just another rabble-rousing s**t-disturber. She phrases her arguments so that they SEEM to make sense, and you want to believe her, but there always seems to be enough unsaid that she can't be trusted. There is never enough background--I always feel that she's not telling the whole story, but is instead leading the listener to agree with her point of view.

Answer 6

I don't think the story is true.

I think the CBS show, Shark, is a satire of Nancy Grace even though the circumstances are reversed. Grace was a prosecutor who left for CNN while "Shark" was a defense attorney who became a prosecutor. I think Georgia was about to disbar her and she went to CNN to avoid losing her law license.

Answer 7

I can't stand the woman. I can't believe CNN is keeping her on the air. She's so abrasive, her very voice made me rush to change the channel the first time I saw her show, and I'm a big CNN/Headline News fan. She doesn't seem to believe in innocent until proven guilty, she's so busy grandstanding.

Answer 8

I think Nancy Grace went over the line with this young mother. I think she needs to publicly take the responsibilty of her actions and apologize to the family first of all. I also think CNN needs to fire her or reassign her to a position off air (like a consultant).

It does bring up another point in our society. Was Nancy G. as well as other "reporters" pushed to be more sensational or more "hard hitting" to get more ratings?

Regardless, Nancy G was way out of line period..

Answer 9

No, Nancy Grace only tries to get down to the facts.. And If the story does not add up, she has wonderful questions that needs to be addressed. I feel she should stay....

Answer 10

I came on here to ask a question on this subject. I actually heard the interview as it was happening and was appalled at how Nancy hammered this poor girl. Sure, we can say that the situation smells bad to an outsider but to scream at the kid, pound on her desk and demand precise answers from a grieving mother? She should lose her job. I almost hope they don't find little Trenton. What the h ell are they going to tell him happened to his mother?? Bless them all - I'm sending white light and prayers their way.
