CNN.com's lead story when I checked it this morning was headlined: "Debate over 'war on Christmas' claims"
The lede: "Is there a "war on Christmas"? Some Americans say so, arguing that there are continuing attempts to devalue the spiritual nature of the holiday. But others dispute these claims and say Christmas is not under attack."
1) Why the hell are we discussing this as if it's news?
2) Was that paragraph originally written for some sixth grader's report?
3) Isn't that structure applicable to any topic, anywhere? To wit:
"Is the world flat? Some Americans say so, arguing that the world looks flat from where they're standing. But others dispute these claims and say that the world is round."
What fucking uselessness we're surrounded by.
Edit: Two stories below that, there's a clearly scintillating article: "Opinion: Hate-based violence must stop".
Enlightening, this is not.
