MSNBC should have a legal show

I am very disapointed that MSNBC devotes 4 hours a day to broadcasting crockumentaries and I really think they need to add a legal show to their lineup. They used to have two, Dan Abrams and Rita Cosby... but now they have zero. Dan's new show used to do a tiny bit of legal reporting at the end but they've since dropped that in favor of more election coverage.

I honestly believe people are gonna get so sick of this election because the media is driving it into the ground that they will not want to vote.

I'd like to see at least one legal show fill up one of those empty timeslots. They look like a very un-credible news organization if they don't cover all the genres of journalism.

I think Catherine Crier would be a good host. She used to work at Court TV before they fired her. She's filled in for Dan Abrams and Joe Scarborough before on MSNBC.

I also think Susan Filan, Wendy Murphy, or Diane Dimond would make excellent hosts.

I also think CNN needs one. They could put it on at 11, considering they just re-air Cooper's show.

Defending Nancy Grace: More

I think your making a way bigger thing of this than it is. Nancy is a legal analyst. She has the right to analyze a case any way she wants to. The majority of her fans are people with good hearts who want the best for victims and want dangerous killers off the streets. I think the majority believe in freedom of speech... and that is what Nancy is exercising every night.

About you attacking her over the recollection Nancy has about her fiance's murder it just shows that you are not realizing what a traumatic experience that was in Nancy's life. She doesn't even remember going to the courthouse. Its a blur to her because we block out painful memories, thats just human nature. So, if her facts are a little off its not because shes trying to pull a fast one on you. Its just simply, she doesn't remember because the experience was so absolutely traumatic.

Shes not wrong in her predictions. Like when she predicts guilty and the jury says innocent... the jury is wrong!

Nancy was analyzing the Elizabeth Smart case as a legal analyst. She had every right to point out and call attention to a person she thought was suspect. And there were many reasons why he was suspect in many people's eyes.

About Duke, Nancy's not allowed to take a day off from her show? Wow! Tough regimen you've got going on there. And about Duke... I hate that the media has completely freed those players from any responsibilty whatsoever. When in reality, if they hadn't gone to that party and hadn't hired a stripper... something they should of never been doing... none of this would of happened. Yet the media just slaps the label of "innocent," "falsely accused," and "rush to judgement" on them and off they go. Whereas, if they would do their jobs... maybe these 3 boys could learn something about how to not get into this kind of mess agian. And maybe the media could educate other kids that you don't go around doing the kinds of things these kids were doing because look at the mess it can lead you into. Those Duke boys have nobody to blame but themselves.

Monkey see no evil... money hear no evil

I think the bigger show of disrespect of human tragedy is the fact that the autorities are dragging their feat! You do not need a body to prosecute. They swore, they took an oath to protect the public. Everyday Drew reamins free, the public is unsafe. He could strike agian at any moment. We already know hes looking for dates.

But enough about the behavior of Drew because thats not the story... the story is that Stacy is missing and LE has failed to find her. Much worse, they've failed to charge Drew when they have evidence of double homicide!

Defending Nancy Grace!

Nancy is a legal analyst. She doesn’t claim to be a jounalist. She doesn’t have to be fair to all sides. She can say whatever she wants about whatever case she wants. She can say someone is guilty even if the jury says no. She has the right to her opinion and in America, we have the right to express those opinions.

With that said, anybody has the right to disagree with her as well.

I have had it up to here with the media elites who say that journalists can’t give their opinion. We live in the new millenium… this isn’t the 1800’s anymore. Everybody has an opinion and I wanna hear it. I don’t care that we may disagree. The reality is, I want to know what you are thinking.

I have a real problem with people who say that journalists cannot tell their viewers what they really believe about a story. Our whole jury system is based upon what you believe in your moral heart and reasonable head. Journalists have every right to tell people what they believe. And I don’t believe that makes them biased… its makes them better journalists. You can express what you believe one minute and give both sides the next. It has absolutely no bearing on your ability to report the facts.

Thats what I BELIEVE!
