Apparently, during CNN's morning broadcast yesterday, anchor Ashleigh Banfield interviewed correspondent Nancy Grace via satellite. From about 30 feet away, in the same parking lot.
Leave aside why anyone would want to interview Nancy Grace anyway -- there's always the danger that she will respond to your questions and you'll be forced to listen to her -- and incidents like this help us remember that much of the time, most of television news is about the television and not about the news.
Several years ago, I was flipping thru the channels. To my surprise, I saw Jackson County DA John Wampler on CNN Headline News. He was being interviewed by Nancy Grace. I truly felt sorry for Mr. Wampler that day.
ReplyDeleteYeah. In what demographic does she test well enough that someone wants to give her a show? Bizarre.
