‘Tis the season for the right wing’s annual “War on Christmas.”
But the “War on Christmas” isn’t real. It’s a fiction: make-believe manufactured and sustained by a noisy conservative echo chamber in order to perpetuate a culture war and keep their base trapped in the bubble.
The only way to really deal with the hysteria around the “War on Christmas” is to have a bit of fun, so we put together a short video to show how they sell the lie about this non-existent war.
Even though the “War on Christmas” is fake and silly, it’s a vivid illustration of the right-wing noise machine in action. It’s the same noise machine used day in and day out to poison our news media with lies and smears.
