Haven’t listened yet, but this podcast better discuss how awfully the overly litigious kary catz has behaved, and how he basically ran CRTV into the ground from the get go, or I will not listen to another Daily Signal.
Michele Malkin has already been removed from the Blaze Network who was specifically mentioned here – with due process according to her contract I’m sure…
Wait. She thinks It’s a Wonderful Life is “a sad Christmas movie,” and complains that a character contemplates suicide – but her favorite Christmas film is White Christmas?
White Christmas starts with a war that killed millions of people, some of them through systematic genocide. One of the men returns from the war, only to find that his business is falling apart.
How about other Christmas movies?
Miracle on 34th Street centers on the possible insanity and involuntary commitment of Santa Claus, and also involves alcohol abuse, divorce, and self-harm.
A Christmas Carol abounds with heavy themes, and its central figure is a horrible human being. And that’s before you even get to the part with the spooky Christmas Future, and his creepy, emaciated young friends.
Home Alone is about a child abandoned by his parents, and battling criminals who want to kill him. The boy defends himself by hurting and maiming the robbers.
A Christmas Story involves a boy who is bullied, and dreams of using a BB gun to protect himself and his family. His father has anger issues, and his friend is injured at school.
One could, indeed, go on. Christmas cinema is not for the faint-hearted.
