The Poison that is Nancy Grace


I have for years endured the cackling stupidity of this so called woman spraying venom of hatred across the airwaves attempting to sway the masses from a platform of biased opinion that gives no room for disagreement or logical and rational discussion.  Nancy Grace is a bully of the worst kind.

Tirade after tirade based on misplaced and often incorrect facts and figures are part of the arsenal this woman employs to manipulate her audience.  She ignores the facts in lieu of her conservative and often regressive opinions.  She gives no platform to detractors and attacks them with a venom so aggressive her guests are often left at a loss for words not from the intelligence of her argument but the pure insanity of her remarks.  I am an avid believer than everyone should be able to express their opinions, freedom of speech is a beautiful thing and Nancy Grace has every right to express her freedoms.  So I cannot blame her actions for the continued spread of her poison, instead I blame those who have given this parasite a platform in which to spread her lies and bigotry.  I blame us the viewers for giving her platform merit, and I blame those who support her for shared bigotry.  In a rational world she would be laughed at as just another street performer but in a world of continued propaganda campaigns against logical thought she has been employed as the proverbial poison in the well.

The words of this poison are not directed toward free thinkers but those of the mob mentality.  How many have suffered under the dishonesty and tyranny of this so called host?  How many innocents have been set upon with torches and pitchforks for the over hyped fear mongering this woman has incited.  She judges people guilty based on her own disillusioned preconceived notions and ignores evidence and facts that contradict her beliefs.    She is the epitome of what every decent and rational person fights against, a fear mongering tyrannical bigot who uses her platform to falsely accuse and bully often innocent people who come on her show hoping to explain their side of a story or have a logical debate based on facts, but what these people are treated to is a barrage of hated filled accusatory questions and accusations based on little more than her own delusional thoughts.

Nancy Grace is directly responsible for the suicides of two people yet she is still on the air even after settling a lawsuit for her actions, she has twice been called before the state supreme court for prosecutorial misconduct.  Is this truly a person anyone should idolize.  If this is an example of the future of idolatry I am disheartened, if we are to have idols then let those idols be a shining example of what we could be not an example of humanity at their lowest.  Her show is about nothing other than drama porn, a way for her to satiate her ego and her viewers to satiate their lust for violence and drama.  This is not progressive thinking if we are excited by people like her who parade their kids around on national television yet criticize others and accuse them of child abuse for doing the same.  I once saw an episode where after speaking about how celebrities and politicians use their children to illicit sympathy attention and votes, she threw pictures of her own children on screen attempting the same sort of attention seeking she was criticizing.  Yet if you were to point out the hypocrisy she would deny and justify her actions.

We cannot allow the weakest and most flammable examples of humanity to be in the fore front of important topics and discussions.  Her platform is used mainly to talk about crime in America yet there is no true discussion or debate there is only accusations and guilty verdicts before the facts have even come to light.  Many of her guest have had to go into hiding because of the anger this vermin has incited.  We need to stand up as one and say we no longer accept this propaganda this verbal violence to be broadcast across our airwaves.  If she wants to spread her hate let her do it elsewhere do not give her a platform to incite mob mentality and irrational thought.

I leave you with this thought.  A platform has been given to so many throughout the world and throughout history to speak their minds and being about change in the world, some good and some bad but there has always been that platform, but we as a society give that platform as a gift with the attention we give these people so the solution is easy, if we are the platform then we should simply remove it from beneath her feet and let her fall.  We as viewers give her the power with our attention so I subscribe to the old adage "Ignore it and it will go away."  It is my view problems should be faced but regressive ways should be forgotten.  Isn't it about time that the poison of Nancy Grace is forgotten?
