Satellite : DISH Takes a Stand


DISH Network issued a statement regarding its use of the words “Merry Christmas” in a TV commercial. The statement reads: "Since being called a 'Patriot' on last night's edition of 'The O'Reilly Factor,' , DISH Network has received an outpouring of both support and displeasure from people across the country over the use of the phrase 'Merry Christmas' in a holiday greeting to customers. DISH Network acknowledges and respects the diversity of faith in our country, but at the same time recognizes the overwhelming majority that celebrate Christmas. We cannot imagine that Americans of all faiths would not want to embrace the spirit of the holiday and join us in wishing Christian Americans a very Merry Christmas."•

It's about time someone with some clout finally stepped up to the plate.........being forced to say "happy holidays" so politically correct is gay. Choosing to say it out of respect to others who may be of a different faith who may offended is fine........it's those on the pc bandwagon with the "say it our way or else" attitude that is the real problem. Being pc only offends the people who truly respect other faiths, who do not display such a lack of class as to ruin it for everybody else.

That commercial should surely sell some subscriptions as gifts, more subscriptions than cancellations I'll bet. :)
