A gratuitous dig

This New York Times TV critic is too kind:

Nancy Grace belongs to a group of women who play host or make guest appearances on talk shows and write articles and books. Along with commentators like Ann Coulter and Laura Schlessinger, she has brought one of our oldest female caricatures, the Shrew, back to the culture. The Shrew used to be a staple of mass entertainment. She was the pushy wife who drove her husband out of the home or behind his newspaper. She was the spinster who hectored neighbors and schoolchildren. She was plain and sexually deprived.
No more. These women specialize in perfect marriages, idealized lovers and good sex. They turn facts into attacks. When they argue, their voices rise to the "shrill" notes once ascribed only to feminists. Maybe there's a certain irony in what might be called the power of a woman's influence, though. Now, commentators like Bill O'Reilly and Tucker Carlson are adapting shrewishness and hysteria to a manly style.

Nancy Grace is despicable. I've got no love for DINO Gary Condit, but her role in that whole sorry chapter of the decline of CNN should have earned her a permanent credibility score of zero.
