I want to preface this prep by saying that I despise Nancy Grace with every fiber of my being. Nancy Grace is a glorified shock jock with a television time slot. She is a despicable human being and disgrace to the term "journalist." I truly believe that she is the reason mainstream media is held in such a negative regard in America. She is an ignorant, hateful person who preys on innocent people in bad situations for ratings. She SHOULD be relegated to writing click-bait stories on a tabloid website with a 1999 GeoCities type of layout. But, alas, she has a primetime TV slot so she can spew her slanderous trash all about. God bless America.
The Duke situation is a prime example of just how awful Nancy Grace is. For years, she destroyed the public image of the team and the school itself, despite their innocence. As a former professional wrestler, I also often recall the Chris Benoit incident she so adamantly covered. In 2007, WWE wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his family and killed himself in what Grace and other ignorant journalists claimed was a fit of "roid rage." To further her "point" Grace decided to cite other wrestler related steroid deaths, which weren't "steroid deaths" at all. Johnny Grunge was a guy that I worked with in the past and unfortunately passed away due to complications of sleep apnea in 2006. Grace cited Johnny's death in her Benoit/steroid reports. When presented with the true cause of death, she brushed it off and denied believing it to be true, saying "that's basically snoring, and, you know, not breathing for a few seconds periodically through the night. You don't die of sleep apnea." (Awake In America). Thinking about her blatant disregard for facts and outright disrespect pisses me off and I hate this woman to no end.
But, hey, I guess this is all why HLN shrugged their shoulders at her. She's doing her job, right? Making headlines, pissing people off, drawing in the mindless viewers, making the big wigs more money. No harm to our wallets, no foul, right? I guess so. I guess that's the point of business, but I think it's bullshit.
