The end-result of this lawsuit in inconsequential in the grander-scheme-of-things pertaining to Nancy Grace. Now that three separate Judges have refused to allow CNN/Grace’s request to have the lawsuit dismissed, it shows what Nancy’s role has been, and will likely continue to be, in this pursuit of Justice for the victim. It solidifies Nancy’s track record with having some of her past rulings overturned and her misconduct cited on court records by Judges in the past. Nancy does not want Justice, and only wants to minimize her upcoming expenses due to her and CNN’s own misconduct issues. That is not Justice, and that should be spotlighted in the coverage of this lawsuit. This is an excellent case to highlight exactly the exact-opposite position that Nancy says she stands up for. Media needs to pummel her with questions on accountability from the victim’s perspective and from the family of the victim’s perspective, and from the viewer’s perspective where Nancy decimated the credibility and the role of journalist to assist in ever possible to way to help in getting back a missing child safely. When other media outlets cover this case, they need to ask and mandate that without the interview that both CNN and Nancy Grace was responsible for, without that single lone element, Melinda might likely be alive today and the whereabouts of Trenton known.

Highlight from yesterday’s Nancy Grace discussion on Madeleine McCann: NANCY: “Oh, you mean like gas, the body starts emitting gas as it decomposes?” Classy, Nance.

Unbelievable…and yet, totally believable.

Horrible….yet routine.

You know, I saw the piece and thought “Nah, I better not.” But I’m glad you did, Bergman. It’s thisclose to the truth. So much so that if you showed it to some folks without the Onion banner, they’d believe it was real…

On the other hand, you can’t satirize Nancy. Self-parody’s impossible to top.

I always wonder what the parents of missing people on “Nancy Grace” feel like as she — just as in this Onion piece — cruelly describes semen stains, blood stains, what the woman would look like were she in the woods dead for weeks. It’s truly horrific. The Onion story almost doesn’t go far enough to satirize what Nancy Grace does on a nearly daily basis. Also, this one hasn’t caused anyone to commit suicide! Nancy Grace can’t say that.

It’s no “further” than what we already see.
