FOX Chicago news anchor Robin Robinson was under fire earlier this week for saying Santa Claus doesn't exist.

Robinson made the remarks on the evening newscast. Around the 2:55 mark in the video shown above she says parents should stop trying to convince their kids that Santa is Santa and as soon kids are able to talk, they should be told the "truth."

"Santa is a symbol of the generosity of the season. You go sit on his lap and we'll take a picture," Robinson says to her co-anchor. "But he's not coming down the chimney, he's not eating those cookies, he's not bringing you anything."

"My jaw dropped when I heard her say there was no Santa," Annette Kennedy Muller wrote on Facebook while viewer Laura Gravgaard Vlaming says, "Robin, it's not your right to tell EVERYONE's kids this!"

Following the 9 p.m. broadcast, the station received several phone calls, emails and online comments from angry viewers. Robinson was forced to apologize but this time she warned kids to leave the room.

"It was careless and callous to say what I said," she says.

  • She's just pissed because her name is Robin Robinson.

  • MY HERO! I've always wanted to do this on tv, no need to apologize. Having your hopes up on the thing you want as a kid and not getting is heartbreaking. So why lie to your kids? That's why I'm not going to introduce Santa to my kids, I'll just say to them he's a symbol of Christmas. I don't care if this comment gets dislikes, its the truth. Btw, its not happy holidays people, Merry Freakin' Christmas!

    & It's okay to let you're kid's watch someone being killed , & someone being raped . or robberies ?

    If you're child watches the news you're exposing them to a whole other world .

    Your child can watch death & criminals , but cant know that santa isnt real ?

    Whats up with that ?

  • That's my Aunt , no lie :))

  • @RockerOf60s70s80s I agree.
