HLN started out as a legitimate news channel, but became The Crime Channel.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Did they? I remember when they were straight news but became a tabloid-like channel.

Look, I don't have cable. I don't watch any of them. Just tell me what happened and I'll feel how I feel about it. I know that doesn't sell, but I don't need the friendly to my party or the other party stuff.

Yes they became tabloid-like focusing on sensational crime stories.

Whatever the rest of that stuff in your posting is about, I know nothing.

The Crime stories made Nancy Grace a household name.

Haven't watched either one since Desert Storm. Closest I got is the app on my phone.
