Fox News says The Muppets brainwash kids to hate Corporate America

[dmcowen674]

If this was true, the Muppets are failing miserably.

How would there be so many Rich Republicans and Corporate Execs that hate America as we have now then?

Are Rich Republicans families shielding their kids from TV and not letting them see The Muppets?

Can any of the resident Rich republicans confirm this?

Fox accuses the Muppets of brainwashing kids


On Fox Business Channel, anchor Eric Bolling showed a clip of the new Disney movie and said that the story was aimed at planting the seeds of class warfare among our precious children.


That's because the Muppet-villain is an oil baron called Tex Richman.

"They've been doing it for decades," rejoined Fox guest Dan Gainor. "Hollywood -- they hate the oil industry, they hate corporate America."

Lmao x 100

Kermit the communist.

Yeah, no Fox is right.

As in opposition to the Right's (ala Fox Spew's) fetish for loving Corporate America??

Dan Gainor is retarded. Is he unaware that Walt Disney was one of the most rabid anti-communists this side of Jim McLain?

Well, fox is fox, there is no arguing about it, BUT you have to agree these and other such cartoons, which are meant for kids, do sometimes mock right wingers, corporates power houses and oil industries. Not sure about Disney, never heard them do it before but PBS/Sesame Street does do that. None of these make any sense to kids but the Hollywood left loons put them in anyways. I have no idea why, maybe they just vent their frustration and hope that it will be seen by some of the parents or "News" channels like Fox would pick them up and run with them... I do feel its wrong and should be stopped

I don't think I'd go as far as using the term "brainwash". But I would argue that Disney has injected political points in kid's movies before.

Wall-E was pretty damn blatant and downright offensive.

Your avatar has RED in it.

You are clearly a commie lover.

How dare you associate Spiderman with communism, you communist?

Walt has been dead for years and if you think the current culture of Disney is what Walt envisioned, well then I have some Florida swampland you might be interested in...

Please back up your assertion with two or three examples of Sesame Street doing this.

funny...

And what does fox do?

How much commie crap can we find there?

 

[JSt0rm]

makes sense for fox to attack their competitors though.

When I first saw this, I thought it was an article from the Onion.

FOX is seriously grasping at straws if they are criticizing this movie for bias. I'm sure that they would do the same thing about demonizing Scrooge as they would Tex Richman if that movie were remade. Gimme a break.

I can see spidy watching wall-e and getting mad at liberals.

Probably went into his basement to clean his guns after.

The echo chamber tightens and closes ranks.

Can OP please stop trolling p and n?

 

[RightIsWrong]

Let me see if I can understand this....

Fox claims that a company that is the 66th largest in the U.S. and the 226th largest corporation in the entire world with revenue of $38B and who's primary source of revenue is garnered from catering to kids, it trying to brainwash kids to hate corporations?

Sounds about right for them and the "logic" that they employ.

When they get to the level of Tomorrow's Pioneers, give me a call.

Tomorrow's Pioneers (Arabic: رواد الغد‎; also The Pioneers of Tomorrow) is a children's program, broadcast since April 13, 2007 on the Palestinian Hamas-affiliated television station, Al-Aqsa TV (Arabic: مرئية الأقصى قناة الأقصى&#8206. The show features young host Saraa Barhoum and her co-host, a large costumed animal as they perform skits (or "scenes") and discuss life in Palestine in a talk show fashion with call-ins from children (typically of age 9-13 with some as young as 3).[2][3] Presented in children's educational format similar to such shows as Sesame Street or Barney & Friends, Tomorrow's Pioneers is highly controversial as it contains antisemitism, Islamic extremism, anti-Americanism, and other anti-Western themes.

Well, yeh, but Scrooge & Dickens' Fagin are Spidey's heroes. Well, except Scrooge got all wussified at the end...

Greed has been cast as the villain in countless stories, but it's a virtue in Right-speak. Go figure.

I'm happier if we don't find out.
