I believe I've mentioned developing a genuine mistrust of journalists lately, so I don't take anything I see on the news at face value, no matter how many sources report it. And besides, after that article from mediamatters MEM posted, I don't think my skepticism towards the story was out of line (then again, how can I take what mediamatters says at face value?)

But if it is a true story, I repeat my earlier comment: who the heck are all these people being offended by Santa and Christmas carols and all that? None of my fellow Jews that I know are bothered by it. I've yet to hear any Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, or any other faith say that they're offended by Christmas. I know a bunch of liberals who are really into Christmas and wouldn't lift a finger against it. So who are the people supposedly blocking the Christmas stuff worried about?
