The Veterans Day edition of Fox News' Hannity spent twice as much time discussing the so-called “War On Christmas” than the actual wars whose veterans we honor on that holiday. 

On the November 11 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity hosted Sarah Palin to discuss her newly released book about the "War On Christmas." While Hannity wrung his hands about the latest “unbridled and seemingly unprecedented” attacks on Christmas, Palin opined that “angry atheists” armed with attorneys “want to tell us, they want to tell patriots, they want to tell traditional Americans, that no longer can you acknowledge that Jesus is the reason for the season.”

The “War On Christmas” segment lasted only two minutes, but that was twice the amount of airtime Hannity devoted to covering Veterans Day. Only a brief “Veterans Day edition of our video of the day” segment at the end of Hannity's show made any mention of the nation's veterans and the conflicts they braved as part of their service.

Fox News hosts often cover the “War On Christmas” more extensively than they do real wars. During the last holiday season, Fox's Bill O'Reilly dedicated nearly an hour to segments defending Christmas from its alleged assailants, while spending a mere fifteen minutes covering military conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and Gaza.
