Nancy Grace IS Truly Awful on CNN

Written from Whitehorse, The Yukon ----

CNN continues to go downhill, scrambling to overcome the Fox lead by playing to the very lowest common denominator.

I find that when CNN is offered here in Canada, in the evening there's very little news. They've ruined Aaron Brown by excessively featurizing. Often, you have to wait until Darren Kagan on the morning news before getting many headlines even.

But what is truly terrible is the rise of this woman, Nancy Grace. She filled in for the regular interviewer on Wednesday night, and it was all schlock, pointless interviews from Aruba, plus other tearjerkers. This woman may well suffer from an emotional sickness.

This is the woman who predicted Michael Jackson would be convicted. You'd think right then they would have gotten rid of her. She has no taste and no feel for the news. She is sweet to a point of obnoxiousness.

And CNN now has very little foreign news, or WAshington news at all. Thank goodness, when I arrivded in Whitehorse tonight, they had NBC rather than CNN and I watched Brian Williams on the Nightly News with Justice
O'Connor's retirement the lead. Williams is a sight for sore eyes, compared to the CNN nightly anchors.

Maybe, CNN should fall on its sword and quit the way they are going.

One thing, there has not been a Canadian station yet, and I've been here eight days which has even carried Fox. John Carroll, the editor of the L.A. Times, would be delighted at how Fox is anathema in Canada.
