Over the years, many critics of Fox News and its sister channel Fox Business have mocked the right-wing cable media outlets for claiming that liberals and progressives are carrying out a War On Christmas. Its a claim thats difficult to back up, as Christmas music, Christmas celebrations and Christmas decorations become ubiquitous in a long list of major U.S. cities that are overwhelmingly Democratic from Boston and Philadelphia to Seattle to Chicago. Nonetheless, many Fox News and Fox Business hosts have insisted, year after year, that there is a movement among liberals, progressives and Democrats to attack Christmas.
But in 2022, ironically, Fox News is, according to Media Matters Matt Gertz, attacking centrist Democratic President Joe Biden for being too pro-Christmas.
At 6 PM on Monday, November 21, Fox News announced its all-American Christmas tree lighting. But only four later, on far-right host Laura Ingrahams Fox News show, The Ingraham Angle, the following words appeared on the screen: Biden White House Jumps the Gun on Christmas.
In a November 22 tweet, Gertz was quick to point out how badly Fox News was contradicting itself by lighting its Christmas tree on the same day it was attacking the Biden White House for celebrating Christmas too early. And in a separate tweet, Gertz posted, New Fox News salvo in the War on Christmas is that Joe Biden is too pro-Christmas.

How lame can they be?

(8,964 posts)President Biden makes it clear that he has no respect for this treasured American tradition. Has Bill O'Reilly weighed in on this yet?

Fox Noise just wants to complain about something.

He said that he was in a boat with some people when the wind blew someone's hat off into the water. He said he stepped over the edge, walked a few feet away on the water and picked it up and brought it back.
The next day's headline was "Jesse Jackson Can't Swim."

And they do...

(2,578 posts)So, apparently, their stance is that Christmas belongs exclusively to Pox, and they are not sharing it with anyone else. Their level of stupid is so huge that it is beyond description 😳.
