  "That's what I say damn near every time I turn to CNN"

  Why do you turn CNN on? There's no reason to, unless a plane just crashed into a major skyscraper. It's not like you're going to get news from them. CNN hasn't been a legitimate news outlet for years. They're just a fear-mongering, ratings-pandering, bottom-feeding trash outlet obsessed with shark attacks, backyard bear sitings, mind-numbing footage of police cars chasing convenience store robbers down monotonous miles of freeways and endless warnings of how a disease or product defect might wipe out Americans in heretofore unseen numbers. You don't need to get the latest lowdown on nothing by cosmetically enhanced bimbos and cretins.

  Turn off CNN and leave it off. You'll be surprised at how much you're not missing. You have a computer - use the net instead. Get the weather from the local news or from the internet. CNN is as much a cotton candy and freak show as Fox is. And that goes for the Today Show and anything else that passes for "news" on the major networks and basic cable. They're the nutritional news equivalent of a circus peanut.

  OK, that said, I have to say the Nancy Grace clip is one of the most shocking things I've seen since the first time I saw an airing of the Zapruder film. Thirty years ago, Tex Antoine got fired from WABC for making a rape joke - and he was a lot more popular than Nancy Grace. She is a horror and she should have been fired for that.
