I defer to nobody in my partisanship but even I have the class to tone it down on New Year's Eve and put a damper on the invectives.
This is what I saw in their New Year's Eve coverage.
One of their clown employees was playing a trivia game with New Year's Eve celebrators at Times Square and asked the following question. Which celebrity acquired HIV from sleeping with hookers: Lamar Odom, Charlie Sheen, or Bill Clinton?
Good gawd, look at his boss , Rupert Murdoch, if he hasn't paid for sex nobody has. Actually, he looks like he couldn't get laid in a brothel with a fistful of dollars. I digress.
Then they had the GOP candidates give their New Year wishes. Most of them were classy and they should be applauded. The diminutive Marco Rubio and the vituperative Ted Cruz were exceptions, using the opportunity to insult and disrespect the president. Please God, let Hillary hand them their asses, please!
The high point was when their clairvoyant went off script and while describing candidate's "charts" for 2016 said Hillary's chart was "strong and while no candidate is inevitable she has a lot of supporters who love her and will stick by her."
Memo to FOX. Leave politics out of New Year's Eve.

I think they think everybody hates Democrats. I don't like Republicans, for the most part, but I am not delusional enough to believe there aren't people that like them.

(1,683 posts)I did it to myself as I watched the New Year in New York on ABC. What a disgusting bunch of hosts and entertainers it was that
ABC used. I think I will just sleep through 2017 when the time comes. Staying up to watch the New Year come in and the ball drop just wasn't worth it.

As for Rupert Murdoch, he selected as his straw boss Roger Ailes, a rightwing turd of the first stank. That stooge learned his craft from BFEE toady Richard Nixon and Hitler hagiographer Leni Riefenstahl--I kid you not.
