Jane Velez-Mitchell from CNN Headline News is a fucking PSYCHO
Edited on Sun Jul-17-11 11:52 PM by AmericaIsGreat
I now hate this woman as much as Nancy Grace.

She just showed an interview with a woman who was protesting Casey Anthony's release. The woman had pictures of Kaylee and other images related to the trial on poster board and claimed that the Lord was showing her a revelation when he made the glue used to put the pictures on the board appear in a red color on Kaylee's face. This woman repeated several times that the glue only appeared red on Kaylee's face "where the tape was placed over her mouth" that this was God giving her a sign that she was protesting for the right reason.

And, boy, was Jane eating that shit UP.

But she didn't stop there. We then see Jane back in the studio and listen to her going off about how this was an AMAZING coincidence, then mentioning the tree that was apparently struck by lightning when Casey was acquitted and pointing out that, "This is just incredible; coincidence after coincidence."

Are you fucking kidding me???? This is what CNN HLN is up to these days? Reporting about how God is angry about Casey getting off and giving us signs? And Jane is peddling this shit to viewers?

For fuck's sake.

1. Clark Howard
is usually on LN on the weekend. Really like his show. Every time I checked to see if he was on they were doing an Anthony update. Isn't that over and done with? They really embarrassed themselves with this.

3. She used to be a co-host of a tv station in Los Angeles......
she's as crazy now (maybe more so) than she was then. She's as bad if not worse than Grace.

7. Yep, and she was as prurient and disgusting then as she is now
There's a special hell reserved for lowest common denominator sickos.

8. I don't remember her being so bad then, she was more of
a serious newscaster. I think it was channel 9 here in Los Angeles.

5. It will only change when people stop watching. . .
Until then, what impetus do they have to change? The material requires no thought and little preparation, while the advertisers pay for the audience numbers, not their intelligence. Indeed, a brain-dead audience seems a decided advantage for the advertisers.

6. She just wrote a book.....' I want'
iWant
By Jane Velez-Mitchell

Jane Velez-Mitchell, host of Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell on CNN Headline News, will be signing her new book on Saturday, May 30, at 12pm in booth #2559.


iWant is Velez-Mitchell's story about overcoming compulsive cravings for drinking, smoking, overeating, and overworking and finding true, lasting healing.


“Jane details the battle of a lifetime. For anyone who believes they can’t go on, that their addiction is more powerful than they are…read this. So much strength from one little lady!” – Nancy Grace, Legal Commentator and Television Host


Does that help explain her? I think so.

19. It's an extension of anti-abortion "protestors". Now they literally have a target whom they've
branded a "baby killer".

10. She's done the same before. Her and Nancy Disgrace (and Diane Dimond)
are all batshit crazy. These women are freaking nuts - their "sources" they rely on for their "stories" usually are whacked-out crackpots too. I don't believe a word any of them say about anything.

13. Seems all these smarmy tabloid talking heads hang in the same circles
and build their careers off of essentially bullshit from questionable and discredited (or easily discreditable) sources. Hardly what I'd call "journalists".

12. This thread should be moved to the Latest News section.
But, then it would be ignored because it isn't news that Jane Velez-Mitchell is whacko-cracko.
She used to be an interesting reporter before she became a balloon head.
Nowadays, the more sensationalistic she can get, the better, she thinks.

14. Poor Jane Has Lost it and is Just Goofy.
After the trial was over she was outside interviewing a woman. When the defense team came out of the building she ditched the woman in mid-sentence and took off running after them. It was actually pretty funny to watch. She is right behind Nancy Grace in acting stupid.

15. I saw that segment too.
The woman also said "The lord gives me revelations, and this is one of them", or something to that effect. Then dingbat Jane doesn't even bother to ask her if she ever heard other voices, or if she is suffering from some other delusions. No, dingbat Jane just takes that ball and runs with it like it has to be true. I literally sat in my chair and said out loud "jesus f***ing christ these people are loons!"

16. There's a reason why i haven't watched either Faux or Faux Lite(CNN) in years.
It does wonders for my blood pressure and disposition by not watching that garbage they try to pretend is "news"

17. Watched that same thing
I don't think it was quite as bad as you imply. Neither is Jane.

18. Between Nancy and Jane those two women managed to incite everyone.
Whatever happen to just giving the story and not be part of the story.

20. Series. If God were that angry, his aim would be better.
He Is God, after all.

21. Squeeky Wheels Get The Grease
With so many "talk" shows on the cables these days you need some kind of gimmick to rise above. For faux noise, its blaming every ill in the world on President Obama and liberals with the most shrill hypocrites they can hire. On ESPN it seems the most obnoxious sports reader gets the promotions...the one that only shows the highlight doesn't stand a chance. Each of these hosts needs to find a gimmick...an outrage and then the act to really hammer it home. Bottom line is people like to bitch or to hear people bitch...the louder and more off the charts the higher the ratings...

22. I think I have a tomato with Kaylee's face on it...
...if you angle the lights just right and are really suggestible.

Or maybe it's Baby Jesus. Or Elvis. Or Tupac.

Can I get on Jane's show to tell people how Kaylee says we should raise taxes on the rich? God told her so, and are you going to argue with Him?

24. Had a long time with no cable. When I got it back I couldn't believe what HLN had degenerated into.
Yikes.

26. HLN's ratings beat everyone, including Fox News, due to the Casey Anthony
trial. Their viewers are hungry for that type of thing. They have to milk it for everything it's worth.

27. She used to be a regular newscaster in LA, dropped out of site, then
reappeared doing this shouting/dramatic/gossipy kinda of 'news'. Took a real career change. Wrote a book about being hooked on drugs or something. That might have something to do with her new persona.
