Empire State Building to illuminate in red, white and blue for Fox's 25th anniversary

The Empire State Building will be illuminated in red, white and blue on Saturday to celebrate Fox News’ 25th anniversary.

Fox, which turned 25 years old on Thursday, also hosted a town hall commemorating the two and a half decades that Fox has been on the air, including messages from 136 employees who worked at the network since its onset.

The town hall, which was hosted by Fox Corporation Executive Chairman and CEO Lachlan Murdoch, CEO Suzanne Scott and FOX News Media President Jay Wallace, featured a video message from Fox Corp. Chairman and the channel's founder's Rupert Murdoch.

“25 years ago we took a big chance on a new news network – first we had to build a professional staff and equipment with studios, then came the biggest problem - getting full distribution. But we felt there was an audience waiting for it,” Murdoch said in a video message. “And we found out millions of Americans whose views and tastes were not reflected on CNN, the long-term monopoly. Nobody thought they could be challenged. Well, we all know what happened. More than 130 of you have been with us every step of the way.”

The lights should be black for all the deaths that they and the rest of their cult have caused.

Maybe we really are in some Twilight Zone where reality is starting to melt down and the protagonist ends up in a straight jacket because words no longer mean what they used to and history keeps revising itself without anybody's help.

Dear Empire State Building,

Maggots can't afford NY, so all those tourists who pay good money to go to the top of the Empire State Building are, for the most part, Democrats.

-Been to NY several times, there are so many other awesome places to go and see, the Empire State Building was the least impressive - skip if you are in town.

The last time I was there was 1956. I was 6 years old and on the way to Morocco where my dad
had been stationed. I remember he held me up high so I could down on the little tiny cars so far below.
But no more!
