Nancy Grace Is Not In Tonight, She Is Out Raping Puppies!!

I hope you have all watched Nancy Grace on CNN. Jon Stewart did a piece on her on 11th April after Duke Lacrosse players were found 'Not Guilty'. He ripped her for pronouncing these players guilty before the verdict. She did not come on her own show the day the verdict came in and Jon had this explanation: "Nancy Grace Is Not In Tonight, She Is Out Raping Puppies"!!

Well, I have been a huge Jon Stewart fan and one thing I love about him is how he takes on the news channels. If you look at shows of anchors like Glenn Beck, Keith Olbermann, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteran, Geraldo Rivera etc. you will see why people hate news today. These people cannot even agree on facts. What you get is mindless debate on useless issues.And then there are people like Nancy Grace who run sort of investigative shows that are nothing but a way to deliver a verdict based on their own prejudices. She decided when the story broke out last year that Duke players were guilty of raping a woman they asked to come to a party. Throughout the year, she built up the crescendo and then when she was proved wrong, she didn't even have the guts to say sorry!!

So no wonder, Jon is angry and very angry and two things have contributed to the new ferocious nature of this anger. First, things keep getting worse and second, Jon now has Colbert to complement him. Now Stephen takes care of, sometimes, mindless comedy and Jon can stick to what he knows best...political satire. Recently McCain came on his show and Jon ripped him for saying that walking through Baghdad was like walking in an Indiana market. I think his anger against McCain was also because he has been supportive of McCain's straight talking in the past and it hurts him that he has decided to tow the president's line recently. And it hasn't served him well. So expect more frontal attacks. Alberto Gonzales seems to be the recent target and why shouldn't he be?
