Last week a featured Fox Nation story was posted with the following image that made the point that the Obama’s failed to mention Christmas on their holiday cards (just as the Bush’s failed to do<\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I wonder if the Fox Nationalists will now post a headline story about their boss, Rupert Murdoch. Here is how he addressed his “holiday”<\/em> message<\/a> that went out this morning:<\/p>\n

Subject: A note to all staff: Mr. Murdoch’s Holiday<\/strong> Greetings 2009<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The entirety of the message made no reference to Christmas whatsoever. Isn’t this an affront to God fearing Christian Americans who demand that all greetings of the season explicitly reference their savior with no other recognition of the pagan non-believers? Isn’t this more evidence of the suppression of the Christian values that our country was based on?<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to see how Bill O’Reilly will cover this insult to “the folks.”<\/em> And I’m certain that Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck will also speak up for the oppressed faithful. Right-wing blogs are sure to go wild over yet another example of political correctness from an elitist media baron. Ya think? How can Murdoch so cavalierly abandon the values of traditional Americans? While he may have chosen to excise Christmas from his message, he did say this:<\/p>\n

“Together we informed and entertained, but more importantly, enriched the lives of hundreds of millions of people across the globe. We continued to pursue our goal of being the world’s best producer of media content, spreading the message of freedom we all believe in.<\/strong> Across all our businesses we advanced our digital initiatives, while holding true to our values<\/strong> and commitment to change for the better, including our support for clean energy and the environment.<\/strong>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where does Murdoch get off talking about a message that “we all believe in,”<\/em> or claiming to be “holding true to our values,”<\/em> when he has blatantly betrayed those beliefs and values? And what is this business of support for the environment? Sure, there is a web page<\/a> on the News Corp. site that professes to be concerned about the state of the environment, but virtually every one of his writers and television presenters relentlessly disparage efforts to protect the environment, even calling them hoaxes, harmful, and socialistic.<\/p>\n

All of this makes Murdoch’s holiday greeting a farce that shows nothing but contempt for the Christian supremacy that Fox News and America stand for. And now is the time to let him know that his offense will not be tolerated. All good Christians are now called upon to boycott Murdoch’s media empire, starting with Fox News. Good luck brothers. We can stop this sacrilege and restore America to the theocratic utopia it was intended to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
