On what basis are the 10 "most fascinating" people of the year chosen? IMO, only David Koch and Taylor Swift qualified as fascinating.
Koch is a bona fide billionaire industrialist-philanthropist who is politically active. Swift is a young, talented, pop music artist who is very rich.
Walters - in her typical limousine liberal mode - tried to paint an unflattering video portrait of conservative/libertarian Koch, completely ignoring his amazing generosity extending as far as his gift of $25 Million to the United Negro College Fund. More importantly, Koch family-owned companies employ 60,000 Americans.
Most of Barbwa's time with Taylor Swift was spent running long segments from her music videos and concerts instead of using the time to interview the young woman. Terrible interview. I guess Walters didn't consider Swift's answers interesting enough and had to fill the time.
The oprah segment ran twice as long as any other as the 85 year old fawned shamelessly over the oprah and rehashed everything we already knew because oprah had been singing her own sad story for 30 years on national TV. Now we're still supposed to feel sorry for the overexposed billionaire who claims she doesn't have enough time for herself because she's so busy with her cable TV and movie projects. GMAB. Retire already you overexposed hack.
And to name Amal Ramzi Alamuddin (WHO ?) as the most fascinating person of 2014 - was that a joke ? If Amal had not married an American actor in 2014, nobody would know of her.
After 52 years on TV, it's way past time for Walters to hang it up. Like oprah, Walters had a very long run - many would say too long. If the network ever lets her do another one of these, I will be among many who will never watch again.
