If You Want to Save Christmas, Start With Your Own Merchandise

Fox News's Bill O'Reilly and John Gibson have been outspoken critics of retailers that say "happy holidays" instead of "merry Christmas" and of ad copy that talks about "holiday trees" instead of "Christmas trees." Apparently, O'Reilly and Gibson's employer, Fox News, is part of the problem. Media Matters has more:

Despite O'Reilly's specific criticism of those who use the term "holiday tree" instead of "Christmas tree," an O'Reilly Factor ornament for sale at the Fox News store features this tagline: "Put your holiday tree in 'The No Spin Zone' with this silver glass 'O'Reilly Factor' ornament."

(By contrast, NPR is selling at least four seasonal CDs with "Christmas" in their titles.)

Update: Fox is now selling "Christmas" ornaments instead of "Holiday" ornaments.
