Is it wrong of me to ask why Nancy Grace would jump to CNN?
I thought CourtTV-a little over the top and sensational at times-was/is about the only type of news channel to watch. Granted I have not seen it recently...just can't believe she would jump to CNN/headline news.

1. CNN's going FOX
and has been for awhile now. Adding another blond winger makes perfect sense.

18. Though apparently she is a Democrat! Shocked the heck out of me!
If you look up her donations she only donated to Dems! Bizarre. She still annoys me. She convicts everyone before they are tried. And No one who was ever accused of anything is innocent! She must be royally pissed that Condit was exonerated. She was hot to fry him!

4. Her shrill voice and her inability to understand the basic
Constitutional rule of "innocent until proven guilty" leaves me cold.

17. Her screaming over everyone, as if the loudest one wins the
argument, offends.

6. NO but I thought CourtTV was a lot more legit than CNN however
she always made me want to hide my head in shame that I am in the same sex as her. I just find it interesting that she would jump from something with some merit to propaganda crap news network

5. Turn it off. I haven't watched any TV cable news for months.
Now, that Dan Rather has left CBS news I don't watch that anymore either. I get my news on the internet exclusively now and I haven't missed the TV news at all. What's it been these days? Michael Jackson 24/7, or how wonderful our Prezidunce is bringing freedom or else around the world?

7. None of them are credible.....
Cable 'news' is dead..one loooong info-mercial bought and paid for by GOPUSA corporate sponsor of all things they want you to know. They do not report news they create news.

11. Her ratings are high
I will never understand why a drama show, in news time, gets these ratings......Nancy Grace

I could not watch her for 5 min let alone an entire hour.

Zahn Beats Grace On Thursday
CNN's Paula Zahn had a great night, beating her Headline News pal Nancy Grace. Zahn scored 940,000 viewers, compared to Grace's 613,000. Grace beat MSNBC's Countdown, which averaged 416,000 viewers -- a relatively good night across the board. Bill O'Reilly was in a league of his own, with 2,354,000 viewers.

13. I hate how they spin this
All things considered, Keith is tied, if not ahead of Grace.

When one considers that MSNBC is simply not in as many markets as Headline News, you have to figure that Keith is drawing in MORE viewers in markets in which both appear.
Also, Grace's show is new and the novelty WILL wear off.

12. she's still on both
She's still on Court TV. The Headline news show is additional. She's also worked with CNN for a long time--on the Larry King show.

19. She's being groomed for Larry King's job
Larry hated her being thrown in his face all the time, so they gave her her own show so she'd be in the stable when Larry's contract isn't renewed.

20. Larry's contract will never be ended! He is the best (okay it annoys
the amount of crime he covers... I can only take so much of it).
