"Fox betrays Christmas crusade, sells "Holiday" ornaments for your "Holiday tree"

Although Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly and John Gibson have lambasted what they see as a "secular" "war on Christmas," Fox News' own online store advertises "Holiday" ornaments rather than "Christmas" ornaments, as apparently first noted on the weblog Daily Kos. The items are grouped under the category "Holiday Ideas."

O'Reilly, host of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, has recently waged a campaign against corporations that greet customers with "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." For his part, Gibson, the host of Fox News' The Big Story with John Gibson, has published a book titled The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought (Sentinel, October 2005).

Despite O'Reilly's specific criticism of those who use the term "holiday tree" instead of "Christmas tree," an O'Reilly Factor ornament for sale at the Fox News store features this tagline: "Put your holiday tree in 'The No Spin Zone' with this silver glass 'O'Reilly Factor' ornament."

And I might add beside all that hypocrisy in action, Christmas is not really a religious holiday. The Catholic and Anglican churches have tried to graft it onto such but it was originally a replacement for the pagan Saturnalia festival and the more general "Winter" festivals of all the hooligans. The Church did add Jesus as the reason for the season, but clearly the historical Jesus of Nazareth was not born in the winter and did not get presents from a fat guy in a red suit who came from a Coca Cola advertising campaign. Aside from that to argue about how religious a holiday is is in itself pointless, that is sort of up to the observer, getting pissed because someone says "Happy Holidays" to you instead of "Merry Christmas" doesnt make you more of an ultra pure Christian upholder it just makes you more of an uptight asshole who doesnt get it in the first place.
