I like to watch her because she's sort of like me. She tends to think EVERYONE her shows are about is guilty.

I've been a fan of hers since the Court TV days and the OJ trial.

She was an undefeated prosecutor, showcases victims of crime, hates defense lawyers, thinks Saddam should have been killed instead of going to trial, regularly honors soldiers, (waves her American flag during those segments), I get the feeling she is not terribly political, but seems to be on the right side of issues of crime and punishment.

From what I have seen, she always supports the victim.

She was the first to report the incompetence of the Arubian police.

I've been watching her since I heard she supported Terri Schindler-Schiavo's right to live.

E.D. Hill on Fox News has said she believes Michael Jackson is innocent and hopes he goes back to entertaining after the trial. Nancy Grace makes no bones about what she thinks and stresses all the pornography Michael Jackson had in his bedroom. It may have been legal, but it would certainly be considered pornography of children (young teen boys) by most of us. The networks are not allowed to show the pictures on TV. He also had heterosexual pornography for the boys he planned to seduce and some bondage Barbie dolls in his office. E.D. Hill may want to believe that Michael Jackson is asexual and can innocently sleep with boys, but she never explains the pornography or liquor that Jackson gave to young boys.

Nancy Grace uses common sense on cases. This is why she is becoming so popular.

It doesn't suprise me that she was undefeated as a prosecutor. She is an excellent communicator

It helps if your opponent is really guilty.......

Yes, common sense is so rare on TV anymore, she is not PC.

We should support and raise her ratings, and hopefully networks will copy a winner.

"She tends to think EVERYONE her shows are about is guilty."

You hit the nail on the head there. She is a bit over-dramatic, with the long pauses and such, but at the same time, I can't help but like her.

You got that right.

Wasn't she also the victim of a brutal rape in the past?

It's never good news when Lou Dobbs takes a hit. He is the ONLY member of the media on the Immigration problem 24/7.

As for the Drama Queen. She can let her makeup run like Tammy Faye all she wants. She's not on in MY house.

If I want to watch a man wannabe in womens makeup offend me I will watch Bravo channel.

I don't care for Nancy Grace nor do I care for CNN the Howard Dean channel.

Greta Van Susteren's ratings are 2 and 3 and 4x's Grace's

That may be, but for me, Greta Van Susteren is the best excuse I have to switch to ANYTHING else, period.

I sure enjoy the news programming at Fox, but far too much of their stuff is heading for (or gotten to be) People Magazine and National Enquirer for my tastes.

This week, it's as if nothing has happened anywhere except a missing teenager in Aruba and Michael Jackson.

I just get tired of it.

I read some reviewer who said he "can put her on mute and just enjoy her facial expressions".

Her dramatics are actually against the bad guys, instead of for their "bad childhoods" are silly but kind of refreshing.

Not that I'm aware of. After her fiance was murdered, she decided to become a lawyer rather than an English teacher.

Exactly! I don't get the sense that she is liberal at all. She seems very tough on crime having had her boyfriend murdered during a holdup. She seems like she is pretty rock solid and from a religious background. I try to catch her a lot because she cuts off rambling guests and if they don't answer the question she goes to someone else on the panel.
