Wednesday, December 15, 2004Playing the victim cardFOX News is aggressively hyping several small controversies involving public holiday displays that don't explicitly mention Christmas in order to depict a widespread and sinister "attack on Christmas" by "secular progressives." Led by hosts Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, FOX News anchors have returned continually to several minor stories whose theme is the purported marginalization or persecution of Christians. I'm sorry, but didn't the moral value people just "take their country back" with the election of George Bush and other fine conservatives to Congress? Yet now they're tying to make it seem like "liberals" want to eliminate Christmas and the moral values folk are just helpless in the face of this "liberal onslaught." Unbelievable. And the most ridiculous part is the complaints about department stores using "Happy Holidays" signs instead of "Merry Christmas" ones. Department stores hawking their wares under the guise of the holiday season have nothing whatsoever to do with the True Meaning of Christmas. So these groups that are calling for boycotts are essentially tyring to preserve the commercialization of Christmas. Which is just a peculiar way of trying to protect the "reason for the season." posted by chris at 2:20 PM ------------------ |
