Another faux issue from the "FAUX" News Channel

So John Gibson of FOX News has brought out a book that claims that there is a Liberal plot to devalue christmas. Balderdash I say.....there is no plot to do anything of that sort. Sure a few creches got tossed out of public property (thanks to an overzealous ACLU) and people now say Happy Holidays rather than Merry Christmas (mainly because the country is no longer monolithically Christian) but other than that the rest of the hysteria from FOX and the AM talkshows is probably reflective of low ratings as the public is tuning out to the other network sponsored fears like the mushroom cloud over St Louis and the avian flu. This NYT article sums up the hypocrisy nicely.
