CNN's Nancy Grace

I've received an email in regard's to a CNN story with ancor, Nancy Grace, aired on November 7th 2006. The story centered around the unfortunate attack on a 22 month old boy by his father's pit bulls. The story can be found here:

STORY

Unfortunately, Nancy Grace took it a step too far when she simply did not let callers speak if they didn't agree that pit bulls were the monsters that the media makes them out to be. Please read the following transcript of the show to see what I mean:

TRANSCRIPT OF THE SHOW

As an example, here were some of the comments made by Nancy Grace in the interview, aside from the fact that she continued to interupt her guests when they attempted to explain how the child's father acted irresponsibly, and that it is usually the owner's fault:

Example 1:
GRACE: Why would anybody even have four pitbulls in the house?

Example 2:
GRACE: OK, wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wait! Do you have a big, long list of poodle murders? That is total BS! No, laugh all you want to~!

Example 3:
GRACE: ... apparently, genetically, these type of dogs can be easily angered and attack.
BROOKS: Absolutely. And once they taste blood, that`s it.
GRACE: Well, there`s a fine how-do-you-do. Once they taste blood, that`s it.

Example 4:
WILLIAMS: Well, the father told us that he was not a big fan of dogs in the house. He liked the breed of pitbulls, and where he lived previously, he just kept them outside. I don`t know the living conditions. I don`t know if they were tied down or if they were in a kennel, but they were outside dogs.

(Unfortunately, nobody cares about details, which play an important role in determining why dogs attack in the first place!)

Example 5:
SETTER: What`s my take? I read the articles, and I see they were outside dogs. There was mentioning of the dogs being chained. Four of them in a trailer with a child left alone is just not a safe thing.
GRACE: But if it were four kittens or four beagle dogs, we wouldn`t have that problem.
SETTER: Sure, you would. There are reported cases of Dachshunds and Pomeranians fatally killing people, as a matter of fact.
GRACE: Really? Because I couldn`t find...
SETTER: Absolutely.
GRACE: ... a single one on the Internet.

Example 6:
ANNE BREMNER, TRIAL ATTORNEY: Well, Nancy, it`s possible like a negligent homicide, but the fact is, look at the behavior before the fact. You know, there are no bad dogs. I mean, people make bad dogs.
GRACE: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
BREMNER: But, Nancy...
GRACE: The dogs ate a baby.
BREMNER: Here`s the thing, Nancy. It`s like, you know...
GRACE: There are no bad dogs. OK, thanks, Anne.
BREMNER: No, I`m not done yet, though...
(CROSSTALK) Interuption...

These were just some of the examples of the cheap shots made by the news ancor to make pit bulls look like evil killing machines yet again.
