Fox News website: Holidays 7, Christmas 0

Granted, the point has been made: Fox and O’Reilly are a bunch of damned hypocrites.  But this may be the best example I’ve seen.  Reader Frank emailed me a screengrab taken a few hours ago, and when I checked, this Fox News website page hadn’t changed, as of 8 pm PST 12 Dec 2005:

(image size reduced so you can see the whole page in one go.)

Seven, count ’em, seven uses of the word "holiday."

Not one use of the word "Christmas."  Nada.  Zip.  Zilch.  Scroll down the whole page.  Zero.

So, to any remaining nutjobs who still don’t understand that "Happy Holidays" is just a nice thing to say (not to mention good business) in a society that welcomes people of all faiths, and who would prefer to feel angry and persecuted, despite the fact that virtually every aspect of Christmas save the Nativity has nothing to do with Jesus whatsoever anyway:

When Bill O’Reilly tells you not to patronize businesses that use the word "Holidays" instead of "Christmas"… change the damn channel.

PS — even the graphic in the upper right, the one you click to buy stuff from the Fox News store, contains only the name "fnshop_holidays2".  Geez.  It’s like Christmas just doesn’t even <i>exist</i> for these infidels.
