MM: Fox now selling "Christmas" ornaments for "Christmas" trees

Fox now selling "Christmas" ornaments for "Christmas" trees
One day after Media Matters for America noted that the Fox News online store labeled its ornaments "Holiday" ornaments -- including one with The O'Reilly Factor logo -- the items have been renamed "Christmas" ornaments, and references to "your holiday tree" now refer to "your Christmas tree."

Fox News hosts Bill O'Reilly and John Gibson have criticized what they consider a secular "war on Christmas," and O'Reilly has specifically railed against use of the term "holiday tree" instead of "Christmas tree."

Fox News' use of "Holiday" in the ornament names was first documented by the weblog Daily Kos.

3. but Fox it used to have another name
in fact the good old "Christmas Tree" goes back to the old testament and to pagan times and beyond. The Paradise tree - I didn't know that
