Here's though what most people think of Faux News/Network anyways:

I guess, like the OP, you don't know that the Fox News Channel is not the same people as the Fox entertainment network. It is so much fun for people like the two of you to do what you are doing here but ignorance about the difference between the two networks is only excusable among people like you.

Stupid because Fox News is not the same thing as the Fox Network. Surely you know that by now. I watch one Fox News show on my local Fox channel although it isn't on every Sunday. However, I never see any of the entertainment from the local channel on Fox News. When you showed that bit of programming Pelosi I wanted to say something but was pretty sure you know the truth. Now you show that you may not know the difference.

Yet, you'd never know that by the major network's programming. Among ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and PBS, there is only ONE religious themed program scheduled for today or Easter Sunday and it's not even about the Resurrection. It's "The Ten Commandments," which is on ABC tonight.

FOX oftentimes joins in talking about the so-called War on Christianity, so where are THEY on Easter? Out to lunch, apparently. In "honor"of the Savior, they've got "The Simpson's" and "Bob's Burgers" scheduled.

FOX Broadcasting Company - FOX Network TV Shows - FOX TV Schedule - FOX Fall Schedule - FOX Network Schedule

If it's a War on Christianity when some other network fails to offer religious programming, what is it when FOX does the same thing?
I'd say this is an exaggerated stretch and false accusation against FOX Network. How can it possibly be said they are 'At War on Christianity' simply because they don't run certain type of programming?

War is attacking, belittling, Lying, etc.

Seems the OP is joining the 'War against Fox Network.'

Not even a 'Nice try.'

I guess acts of "war" are pretty loosely defined these days. When I clicked on the title of the thread I was thinking that perhaps Fox made some sort of special programming specifically designed to incite anger and rancor in Christians across America - which typically takes nothing more than a simple criticism of their beliefs.

But, what do we have instead? They didn't play a whole crapload of Easter programming for Christians to enjoy the day before Easter.

It's comments and sentiments like this which make me think Christians have this built-in persecution complex and any time they don't get their way, they just ramble on about how they're being persecuted.

By this specious reasoning we should assume that Malawi should prepare for our upcoming invasion because of their failure to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Christians in this country have no right to complain about anything. They've enjoyed influencing our government, our laws, and our society for over 200 years by using fear, hate, and condemnation to get their way. Now, a major TV network doesn't show re-runs of The 700 Club from dawn till dusk on Easter Eve and suddenly they've declared war on Christianity. What a bunch of whiny, sniveling, self-righteous garbage! The sense of entitlement demanded by religious organizations is unbelievable!

Who cares ? The only thing this kind of holidays are good for is for the sale at the stores. The same goes for Christmas, President day's, Martin Luther King day's, etc.

The OP is pointing out Fox's hypocricy.

Oh, come on. That's like saying there's no connection between FedEx Express and FedEx Freight, or Buick and General Motors.

Tonight was the second night of Passover, and I didn't notice any Pesach-related programming either... in fact, City-Data has "Happy Easter" but no mention of Passover (one of the holiest celebrations for the Jewish people) on the landing pages. Are they declaring a War on Judaism too??

If some other network displays such blatant hypocrisy, it's evil and a sign of the end of the world, but if THEIR network does it...well, that's different, huh?
