As we told you earlier this month, it was announced that the New Year’s Eve ball drop in New York City’s Times Square would be a “celebration of journalism.” In spite of NBC News recently sharing a report that the U.S. had been added to the list of the “most dangerous countries” for journalists, many journos will nonetheless take the risk in order to be front and center in Times Square to help drop the ball:

The only way our media could celebrate themselves any harder is by launching bottle rockets out of their ass. https://t.co/d92FnnAemI
