New York Observer Rips CNN Personality Nancy Grace

She's been pilloried and mocked by "Saturday Night Live" and radio talk-show hosts coast to coast, chiefly for her bulldog-ish on-air style. But this week Rebecca Dana of the New York Observer takes the opportunity in a lengthy piece to attack Nancy Grace, star of "CNN Headline News," for her honesty--or, rather, her lack of it. Grace's life story is well known: a long-time prosecuting attorney in Atlanta, she was once engaged to be married to a man who was murdered. Thus began her lifelong dedication to administering justice in criminal matters. It's the particulars of the story, however, that seem not quite right to the Observer's Dana. Her research turned up numerous inconsistencies between Grace's account of the murder and subsequent trial and what is available on the public record. The discrepancies, she says, suggest that Grace, who has written a book about her life, has been either dishonest or forgetful. In either case, Dana's story reflects badly on the CNN personality.
