Why does Fox News harp on the war on christmas every single year. Do they

[applegrove]

not want their base to feel tidings of good joy to all mankind? Instead they want the base to feel that someone is taking something from them. All so that they will be amenable to lower taxes so nobody takes from them the rest of the year. Is it that simple? The brainwashing.....???

1. Their watchers

abhor change. They will do this forever.

2. Money.

The "Christmas Warriors" pander to the crowd that slavishly follows Faux "news," and that translates into ads.

3. Tis the season to be outraged

Honestly, the bizarre annual Yuletide rantings by them and their ilk are enough to make a person start disliking Christmas.

4. It is because Conservatives Hate.

They hate atheists who don't celebrate xmas.
They hate liberals and democrats.
They hate gays.
They hate equal rights.
They hate Obama Care because it gives low income workers health care.

They need constant reinforcement to hate others that is why Fox news and right wing media repeat the same hate they have for everything that helps others or lets them have freedom.

People that hate need constant reinforcement from others to justify their world view.

5. It makes them feel special. nt

6. It's another distraction to keep us fighting with each other.

While the upper 1% continues to rob us stupid. Just like the Duck Dynasty bullshit. Move along nothing to see here.

9. Bingo. nt

7. Money and it feeds into some of my fellow Christians theme of being persecuted in this country.

The audience wants it.

[Mariana]

11. THE AUDIENCE WANTS IT.

Bingo. That's the ONLY reason. They'll say anything to keep their audience tuned in, so the advertisers will keep writing checks.

[dchill]

8. They want to politicize the exchange of holiday greetings...

Plus, they want to spew hate in the holiday season. War on Christmas? They started it. They own it.

Season's Greetings, and Happy Holidays to all!

10. Since nobody's tossing Christians to the lions these days

Faux Snooze and other reich-wingers have to manufacture persecution so they can feel holy. Makes them feel closer to their legend, Jaysus.

12. FOX News and their audience love

playing the "Victim Card".

[Raine]

13. They like division, when people get along they find they have more in common than

differences between them. Uh oh mustn't let that happen, that might lead to all kinds of progress in this country.

[applegrove]

14. I think we're all right. Manipulators

run several realities at the same time.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

15. Persecution complex... n/t
