Fox Hosts Swipe At Hillary Clinton 2018 Countdown

Even during a New Year’s Eve countdown, Fox News is divisive, mean-spirited and partisan.

NewsHound Richard caught Fox News hosts Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery and Jesse Watters working in these jabs at Hillary Clinton during the final countdown to 2018 last night:

KENNEDY: You’re gonna see a big election year [in 2018] … Maybe Hillary Clinton’s gonna run for president again. She’ll decide this year. It’ll be a gift to everyone.

WATTERS: Oh, no! Let’s not jinx it!

They laughed heartily.

Of course, it’s easier to make snarky attacks on Clinton than to defend Donald Trump, the most unpopular American president in U.S. polling history in a year when a big, possibly huge, blue wave is expected in the midterm elections.

But there’s something decidedly un-amusing going on, too.

Fox News called its show “All-American New Year” - as if a broadcast anchored in New York’s Times Square and with correspondents at other points around the country might not be. But even beyond that jingoism is the fascist-like suggestion that Democrats are not “real” Americans the way Foxies are.

Happy New Year to all. And get ready to fight even harder in 2018. See one reason why below, from Fox’s New Year’s Eve coverage on December 31, 2017.

2018 will be epic in so many ways. The Fall of the House of Trump will be the biggest eruption since Yellowstone and its consequences will be felt in every American (and international) household. Scary but now inevitable.

No surprise to see Fox News ring out the Year of the Bully with a pair of sneering Pence White House sycophants playing these games. As we begin the Year of the Troll, I’m sure we can look forward to increasingly desperate attempts by Watters and Kennedy on their Fox News perches to try to discourage Democratic Party voters from participating this year. We’ll just have to see if the Right Wing is successful in their endeavors or if they sing a different tune come November.

I find it interesting a right wing nut prefers to use the name of a Democratic president.

Watters is hopeless but a perfect Foxie … for now. He might want to take note what has happened to most of the boy wonders there. With the exception of Hannity, they seem to disappear after a while.

Who cares and crook and liars are just as bad, why keep talking about the hard core 35% and not talk about the 65% who are real America, I guess trump is like a broken clock, he’s right, he at least twice a day, when he said the media, cable, MSM and social need him, so they can get rating, this is so sad just like the Democrats(no spine). I will just wait for the progressive party to grow. just saying!!!!!
