The Faux News War on Christmas is taking place once again.
Faux News and the Comedy Channel are in a fierce competition in doing parodies on the news. I will give the Comedy Channel a slight edge. Jon Stewart is a lot funnier than Bill O’Reilly, but I do think that Sean Hannity is giving Steve Colbert a good run for his money in the comedic department. I do appreciate good comedians.
But, tiredly, once again Faux News is doing the parody of the war on Christmas. The other channels are showing Christmas trees, people singing, and doing Christmas shopping, and Faux News is once again trying to create a war on Christmas. A couple of years ago it might have been a bit amusing and caused some smiles. (Except the priest who officiated at my Mom’s funeral two years ago just days before Christmas seemed to miss the fact that Faux News was joking and cited the war on Christmas in a funeral sermon. Yeah, it was pretty bad...)
It is no longer amusing. Bill O’Reilly has gotten any laughs he was going to get out of it but now it’s time to put that joke to bed.
Besides that, as a Christian, I find Faux News’s constant attack on Christmas to be unseemly and inappropriate. I do hope that they soon stop.
