Hi Peter, In regards to who is Nancy Grace, all that is really relevant to the discussion in hand is that she is considered a highly controversial "legal commentator" within the United States. Grace's "legal commentary" show is currently broadcasted and hosted on locations like CNN.COM.
Proponents of Nancy Grace's style of reporting say the following about her: > Nancy Grace > > An outspoken, tireless advocate for victims’ rights > and one of television's most respected legal analysts, > Nancy Grace is the powerful force behind Headline News’ > (HLN) top-rated Nancy Grace. http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/grace.nancy.html Meanwhile, a somewhat more independent analysis of Nancy Grace reporting style can be found out at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Grace See my previous links to the Wikipedia article for the specifics. * * * * * The point I was trying to insinuate, and deliberately so I might add, is that IMO, Krivit's style of Rossi reporting reminds me of certain tactics Nancy Grace employs. Nancy claims she is fighting for victim's rights such as those who aren't in a position to defend themselves, particularly murdered individuals. Meanwhile, in Krivit's case, I'm sure he believes he is fighting for the rights of those in his audience who he feels are basically ignorant of certain nefarious elements belonging to the CF community. As such, from Krivit's POV these individuals are potential targets (or victims) that Krivit fears can be taken advantage of. From Krivit's POV, he wants to be the hero who ends up saving them through the tireless actions of his relentless editorials pertaining to the evil wiles of Rossi & Co. I suspect some of Krivit's editorial/investigative actions (or agenda) may actually be derived from his own past history where he may have felt at one time in his life that he was being taken advantage of by certain individuals within the CF community, or that he felt they were deliberately attempting to manipulate him. Whether that is really true, I don't know. However, what matters is that I suspect Krivit believes that's what he experienced. Krivit doesn't want what he fears almost happened to him to happen to others. Granted, it's an altruistic perspective, if not taken to extremes. However, getting back to Nancy Grace, I'd like to point out the convenient fact that dead victims are no longer in a position to respond to Nancy's take on events. They can't potentially come back from the grave and tell Nancy things like, well that's not exactly how I recall it all went down for me. In Nancy case, dead victims have become convenient props that will not contradict her agenda. When I watch Nancy in one of her editorial rants, the impression I'm left with is someone attempting to deliberately whip up an emotionally charged perspective. It is deliberately meant to shock and outrage the listener over to Nancy's POV. It is a perspective that attempts to entice the viewer to luxuriate in a narcissistic emotional steam bath of self-righteous outrage. Once an individual is engulfed in the juices of their own sense of self-righteous outrage any sense of objectivity is pretty much left in the gutter. All the better for Nancy Grace and her style of keeping listeners addicted to her style of emotionally charged "investigative" reporting. I'm insinuating that IMO there appears to be a similar kind of an emotionally charged agenda in some of Krivit's attacks against Rossi.
