Hello, everybody, (Especially BOSTON 25 NEWS!) and welcome to Santa Steve's Naughty List, the first of two year-end specials that count down the best and worst newsmakers of 2017. Last year there was no list (for reasons that escape me!), but in 2015, ISIS got the lump of coal and our winner was the patron saint of super heroes, his birth certificate calls him Stanley Martin Lieber, but fans all over the world know him as Smiling STAN LEE. Who gets to ride in the sleigh and who should remember to be good for goodness sake? There's only one way to find out: Line em 'up and count 'em down!
DISHONORABLE MENTION Me Again
Why do I keep messing up? I promise, this year's list is well worth waiting for!
10. MARK HALPERIN
To use the title of his now-defunct daily political analysis show, modeled on ESPN's PARDON THE INTERRUPTION, With All Due Respect,sir, the Anti-Hannity I had a nice conversation with regarding the also-now-defunct POLITICS LIVE show on the similarly-now-defunct ABC NewsNOW channel, has been swallowed up by a perverted sicko. Although I remember your irreverence and inability to take yourself seriously, I'm happy your name is absent from Bloomberg TV and MSNBC, and I hope it stays that way until you straighten up and fly right.
9. CHARLIE ROSE
From CBS and PBS to just plain BS in nothing flat!
8. JUDGE ROY MOORE
I'd like to see Less of Moore!
7. PLANET FITNESS
Some great Judgement-Free Zone YOU are! You just instituted a dress code, ordered guests who were required to cover their heads to take off their burquas, yamulkles and whatnot and employ snarky trainers. If that isn't judgemental, I don't know what is!
6. KELLYANNE CONWAY
You went on MEET THE PRESS and gave Chuck Todd what you called "alternate facts." Now, is it just me, or is your nose just a few inches longer?
5. PEOPLE WEEKLY
Blake Shelton is the Sexiest Man Alive. Yeah, right. And the Easter Bunny brings fireworks at Christmas. What are George Clooney and Brad Pitt, CHOPPED LIVER? Don't get me wrong, I love Blake as a country music performer, but he just doesn't strike me as Sexiest Man Alive material.
4. TIME INC.
You sold out to Meredith Corporation with the blessings of the Koch Brothers who claim they WON'T stick their noses into TIME magazine's reporting. One word: HA!
3. SINCLAIR BROADCASTING
For the love of cheese, PLEASE don't buy the Tribune Broadcasting stations, including New York's Very Own PIX 11 ! Google would be a WAAAAY better owner!
2. DONALD J.TRUMP
WHY does the Trumpster only rate second place? Because FIRST PLACE is the sole province of...
CHARLES MANSON
He put the SICK in the SIXTIES! Give my best to Hitler, Eichmann, Sadaam, and all those other "sweethearts!" Ding,dong, the madman's gone!
Opinions expressed are mine alone, just so you know. Last time the incredible Stan Lee smashed his way to the title of Nicest Newsmaker. Who exercised their great power with great responsibility THIS year? The answer awaits you in our next Stevetastic episode, or, in the immortal words of Mr. T, "I said BE THERE!"

I give this year's Naughty List five stars. Go Steve!
