Sensational!!

Here's CNN.com's current front page story:

"A call to the Secret Witness tip line helped police break CNN's first featured cold case: the slaying of college student Brianna Denison, investigators say. James Michael Biela, a 27-year-old construction worker with an alleged thong fetish was arrested last week. Biela is charged with murdering Denison by strangulation."

If the picture of the pretty white female on the front page didn't grab your attention, the fact that she was murdered and the words "thong fetish" should pull you into the story. So much for James Michael Biela's public image. Goodbye "presumed innocent," it was nice to know you ever so briefly. What can I say, but "what the fuck CNN? When did you go Nancy-Fox-News-Grace Crazy?"

I blame Nancy grace for a lot of what's wrong with the Media, and I am probably underestimating her. Can I coin a new phrase? I'll call it "The grace Effect." Any time a SENSATIONAL news story bubbles to the surface of the shit-pool that is crime reporting and gets more attention than it deserves, we'll blame The grace Effect.

Off the top of my head, stories that got graced: Maddie and Caylee are two recent ones. Sadly, I don't have to describe these beyond their first names. They're little white girls, so they get the extra attention. Just thought of another: Elizabeth Smart. Here's a video of Elizabeth reminding us that Nance's crazy is deep and probably shared with her crazy ass audience.



Yes, I know I didn't capitalize Nancy's last name. I'm just hoping that catches on too, and maybe it'll rub off and she'll actually get some grace, or class, or just manners.... yeah, I doubt it too.
