I almost threw the remote at O'Reilly's head tonight.
He was going on and on about this stupid "war on Christmas" and it was his top story. He made it look like everyone is out to get the Christians when no one is. then he flipped out about a school changing the words to "Silent Night" so that the song is about winter and not Christmas and made it seem like every school in America is doing that!
Then, he had the balls to claim the the media was lying *cough* pre-war intelligence you jerk*cough* and some guy compared the media and the "war on Christmas" to the scene in 1984 where they torture Winston into thinking 4 was 2.

Arrrrg!

Won't these people just shut up?! Who cares! No one is starting a war on xmas! I am Christian, but I don't mind the phrase "happy holidays." Happy Holidays refers to Christmas as well as the other holidays that fall around Christmas. What is wrong with that?

I had to turn off the TV because I was about to chuck the remote accross the room.



:grr:

3. O'Reilly does this every year
It helps boost his ratings. Which makes him a POS.

5. I locked the Fox News channel on my cable box...
and I set the code that unlocks it with my eyes closed. I honestly have no idea what that code is.
I let Media Matters.org take care of my Fox watching for me. It's healthier for me.
