Faux News Fanning the Faives of Wingnut Hate

Georgia school: We were ‘terrorized’ by Faux News’ false ‘Xmas card censorship’ report

by David Edwards

A school district in Georgia blasted Fau News on Tuesday and said that they had been “terrorized” after one of the network’s radio hosts falsely reported that Xtmas cards had been “confiscated.”
In a Tuesday report, Faux News radio host Todd Starnes turned his daily outrage to allegations that students at Brooklet Elementary School had returned from the Thanksgiving holiday to find that the school’s administration had decided to “confiscate the Xmas cards” that teachers had posted outside classrooms.

Starnes branded the schools’ actions as “Xmas card censorship.”

Brooklet Principal Marlin Baker told WSAV that the “censorship” charge was just not true and that Starnes didn’t bother checking the facts before publishing his report.

“The decision to move the poster had nothing, absolutely nothing, at all to do with any type of religious conversation that is going on in the county,” Martin explained.

The principal said that the Xmas card poster had been moved to a faculty work room in order to accommodate the privacy request of one teacher.
