Googling Christmas "News"

Yeah- I thought that would be interesting. So last evening I put the single word "Christmas" into the Google News search bar.

The first story to show was:

• Experience: Christmas trees gave me a new lease of life

It was a "lifestyle" story about a guy who found life in forestry and Christmas trees after an accident left him seriously injured with a broken back.

The Guardian

The stories connected with that had the headlines:

• How Green Is Your Artificial Christmas Tree? You Might Be Surprised (New York Times)
• Americans are picky about the perfect Christmas tree (msnbc.com)
• Real Christmas trees vs. fake ones (Chicago Tribune (blog))

The second storyline:

• Diplomats Talk Kanye West's 'Christmas In Harlem'

No, not Hillary et. al. but other rappers in a group called the Diplomats.

Here's the link: MTV Maybe you can figure out what it's about.


The third storyline: Yep- you guessed it--

• Fox News Poll: Most Voters Say 'Merry Christmas'

Of course they have this bit of info:

[N]early half of Republicans (46 percent) and white born-again Christians (48 percent) would stop shopping at a store that refused to allow employees to say “Merry Christmas.”

I guess this proves nothing about Christmas and the media, other than it was interesting.
