Fox News may have finally hit a new low in its annual “war on Christmas” coverage. And that’s saying something given that its own religion contributor recently called the right-wing cable network’s stories about the mythical war “silly.”

On Thursday’s edition of “Fox & Friends,” the morning show gang interviewed a man who plays Santa Claus about the increasing secularization of the holiday. Which is somewhat apropos, if you think about it: a man pretending to be a fictitious character talking to a group of television personalities masquerading as journalists.
