The symbolism in Fox's Christmas card gives all kinds of opportunities for different interpretations. I especially like the idea of their sheep (viewers) pulling the Fox (Murdock) downhill (into the land of irrelevance). It's also interesting that CNN and NPB aren't even in the race to the bottom and are watching their peers destroy themselves. I think whoever at Fox who okay'd those cards should get fired. The artist was obviously poking fun of Fox and their purchaser was too dump to figure it out.

You dont see the irony in the left wing getting all upset because right wingers criticized the White House, but not a peep from you guys when left wingers are critical of those who dont have Merry Christmas on their cards.

I think the whole thing is nonsense, but here we are, with left wingers making a big deal out of it, while attacking right wingers for making a big deal out of it..

Rather sad you dont even see the hypocracy.
Wow, really?

1) Palin criticized other people for having happy holidays on their cards.
2) Palin has happy holidays on her cards.
3) Maddow called her out for it, just like Faux News was called out for it.

The only person who can get something different then that has either an extremely poor command of the English language, or has left reality far behind. I would guess more the latter as the "link" you are referring to that you posted in #10 is a picture...not a link to a video or a transcript on another site. Please get some help in the new year, you need it.

This card is very odd and yes, FOX is being very idiotic bashing Obama's card and then putting this card out.

At least, back in the day, stupid, ignorant bigots knew to keep their mouths shut. They've apparently lost that one last civilized skill.
There is a lunatic fringe segment of america that believes the most outrageous lies and are filled with hate and ignorance. They go by the extreme right/tea party and places like fox do their programming. They don't care if what they are being told is factual or not, just as long as it tells them what the "want" to hear.

In a showing of complete hypocrisy, neither does fox news.



Their card interestingly has nothing related to christmas on it at all. The funny thing, is the card depicts a fox being pulled the strongest by it's sheep (hmmmmm )

Now using fox logic, that would mean fox news themselves are radical muslims! aaaahh!
How does it feel to be so biased that you see something in things like that card that really aren't there except for people like you? I wonder about that but don't expect to get an answer.

Would it be unfair to ask you for some kind of proof of all the accusations you made in your totally biased OP with no proof of anything? I bet that card came from something MSNBC put out.

Now maybe you should tell us who it is that tells your fringe what it wants to hear. Don't have the guts, do you?

Do you have some proof somewhere that this card was put out by Fox? It seems to me that an OP that had only the words of the writer and this picture are all the proof we have. Well, I guess when one of you progs pull that trick it is all well and good.

Have you noticed that you of the prog lean have been having so much fun here and not one bit of proof of what the OP said has been offered? Maybe you people need to stop and think now and then. The only thing I see here as proof of anything came from MSNBC and I bet all 48 of their listeners are posting here.

Has someone here offered any kind of proof that that card came from Fox News? If so I haven't seen it but I try not to read every prog post I come on and that is all there seems to be here.
