FNC's Megyn Kendall is doing an outstanding job covering the very difficult story of the Duke rape investigation, getting exclusive information that the accuser in the case "told investigators several different stories about the night of the alleged incident."
Compare Kendall's actual reporting to Headline News host Nancy Grace's legal advocacy in the guise of journalism: reading aloud the most disturbing, explicit portions of the Duke accuser's statements to police. (I've linked to the transcript because it's too graphic in portions to reproduce here.)
Usually, when lawyers try a case in the media, they're not members of the media themselves...but Nancy Grace is both, and she's pretty clearly convicted the players already. Again, nobody knows the truth about what happened at this point except the accusers and the players. But that's why we have reporters like Megyn Kendall: they report. If there were no alternative to Nancy Grace, who's already decided what the truth is, it would be a lot easier for both sides of the case to use television to stack the deck of public opinion.
