A Mixed Holiday Message From Fox News
By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 12/18/2005 6:27:00 PM
Thank God for Bill O’ Reilly. Or is it the other way around?
The Fox News pundit is fighting against the war on Christmas. Good Christians are under siege, he says, by the "Kool-Aid secular-progressive ACLU America haters" who want to drive the phrase "Merry Christmas" and Christmas symbols out of schools, public squares—and even department stores.
And O’Reilly isn’t the only one manning the front lines. FNC afternoon talker John Gibson is barnstorming the country and airwaves promoting his book, The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought. So just imagine our surprise when we got a Christmas card from Fox News featuring Santa and his reindeer flying over Fox News headquarters.
On the news "zipper" sign that runs around News Corp.’s headquarters on the card, the message appears in bright red letters: HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
When asked about the conflict with Fox News’ star commentators, a spokeswoman hinted that the opinion of Fox analysts is unrelated to the corporate office.
Fine. We would like to wish all our friends at Fox News happy holidays.
