EMMYS SINK – AT 10:41 A.M. ET:  I didn't watch the Emmys last night.  I suffer enough just watching TV cable news.  But the reports say the show was, as expected, a Trump-bashing, leftist exercise in adolescent hysteria.  From Deadline:

Facing a Green Bay Packers game on NBC’s Sunday Night Football once again, the POTUS bashing Emmys got knocked down a little to a new low last night – at least in the early numbers.

Snagging a 8.2 in metered market ratings, last night’s just over 8 – 11 PM Late Show host fronted shindig from DTLA’s fortified Microsoft Theater tripped 2% from the 2016 show. To give some necessary context, that result is from 50 of 56 markets reporting due to the aftermath of Hurricane Irma hitting Florida last week.

With that said, the result is also the third straight decline for TV’s big night with the FOX broadcast and Andy Samberg hosted 2015 Emmys and last year’s show on ABC respectively now in the third and second low place. 

COMMENT:  Who's surprised?  Hollywood begins its award shows by insulting half the TV audience.  The hosts make it plain that they're there to preach the liberal gospel, not to entertain.  How exciting.  I can't wait for next year's show. 

I understand that the TV people made much last night of their newfound "diversity."  Fine, but they'll soon learn that diversity must include more than the one or two groups who are chic in a particular year.  One actress announced that she was voting for anyone who was black.  Okay, but don't expect too much enthusiasm from Hispanics, Asians, or anyone else who doesn't fit the category.
