The report claims that the \u00a0White House implemented the ban because sending traditional Christmas greetings will upset Muslims in host countries. Supposedly,  \u00a0&#8216;all overseas military mail will be monitored for references to Christmas, Jesus Christ, or pork products which are known to offend Muslims&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The report \u00a0has \u00a0caused \u00a0a good deal of angsts and consternation as it travels with many condemning what they perceive as \u00a0the Obama administration&#8217;s \u00a0unforgivable attack on Christmas and traditional values.<\/p>\n<p>However, the claims in the \u00a0report are utter nonsense. No such ban has been implemented.<\/p>\n<p>The report is a work of fiction published by a fake-news website that calls itself Fox News the FB Page. In fact, the parody website has no connection to Fox News whatsoever.  \u00a0Nor is it a Facebook Page. Nothing published on the site should be taken seriously.<\/p>\n<p>The site does not include any clear disclaimer that might alert readers that its stories are untrue.  \u00a0Thus, many people  \u00a0think that the site is an actual Fox News outlet and thus share its \u00a0content in the \u00a0mistaken belief that it is true.<\/p>\n<p>For \u00a0the \u00a0record, no credible mainstream news outlet supports the claims in the fake report in any way. And while,  \u00a0as one astute commentator has suggested, it might be \u00a0hard to tell the \u00a0difference between Fox News and a Fox News parody, \u00a0there is nothing about the supposed ban on the \u00a0real Fox News site either.<\/p>\n<p>Given the \u00a0amount of fake-news stories and other \u00a0nonsense that circulates online, it is always wise to <a title=\"Identifying Fake-News Articles and Websites\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/identifying-fake-news-articles.shtml\">verify any strange or unusual reports<\/a> \u00a0that come your way before you share them with others. Searching via a news portal such as Google News will usually reveal if there is any substance to a circulating story.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HSNet Article Center --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5727909035\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/fake-news-obama-bans-christmas-cards-to-overseas-servicemen\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/fake-news-obama-bans-christmas-cards-to-overseas-servicemen\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a report currently being shared vigorously via social media, US President Obama has ordered a ban on the sending of all Christmas Cards to US military members deployed overseas.
