2017 Crookie Awards Runner Up: Fox's Wingnut 'Judge' Jeanine Pirro
We've already given an award to Fox for their constant efforts to distract from the Mueller investigation, but one of their hosts stands out above the rest for being the most vicious, mean, nasty and hyperbolic yapper on their network, and that's "judge" Jeanine Pirro, and that takes some doing when you're on the same network as Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson and Jesse Watters among a host of others.
Earlier this month, she was calling for a "cleansing" at the FBI (video above) for which she was rightfully panned by everyone from CNN's Brian Stelter, to Samantha Bee, to Stephen Colbert.
