Gretchen Carlson Makes False Claim About School's "War on Christmas" Colors

It's the week after Thanksgiving, which for Fox News means it's time to dust off the ole manufactured War on Christmas outrage.

Always in the Praetorian Guard of the army fighting to preserve Christmas from those ungodly secular heathens, Gretchen Carlson reports that a central Florida school has banned the colors red and green. A spokesperson for the school, which hopefully isn't getting death threats from the nice Christian Fox fans, told Media Matters that this just isn't true. Fox's report is based on a local Florida news item which reported that one parent complained that the students can't use red and green. As noted by Media Matters, Carlson ran with the story and made no mention of whether her crack research staff contacted the school for verification. Not surprisingly, ace Fox culture clubber, Todd Starnes, has run the story which is linked to on "Fox Nation." But this type of one sided, dare I say "bogus" reporting is nothing new on Fox.

1. This kind of crap

filled phony outrage is far more detrimental to the spirit of Christmas than "Happy Holidays" ever was.

Yeah...so crazy it never occurs to the bubble heads it's not true!






(In reality I don't know whether they actually think it's true or not. They are just reading what they are told to read, but after the off-camera Palin slams, I tend to think everyone at Fox News knows exactly what they are up to....lying.)

4. Are all Republican women stupid...

...or just compulsive liars?

Gretchen Carlson, Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin - none of them would be considered trustworthy sourced outside of Fox news.

7. Every year Fox lies & spews out this crap about Christmas under attack - Complete Bullshit!

O'Reilly usually is the lying asshole spewing out bullshit about attacks on X-mas each year and I'm sure will be part of it again this year unless he's handed off to another of the goofy lying Fox "news" bubble-heads!

Thank you Media Matters....I don't ever watch Fox and I certainly appreciate Media Matters for having to watch and monitor all of Fox news lies & bullshit each day.
