[quote]A 2-year-old skit on 'Sesame Street' that referenced a "trashy" news channel called POX News came under fire this week when conservative bloggers accused the long-running PBS series of a liberal bias. In the clip, Oscar the Grouch is a reporter for the Grouch News Network (GNN), but he bored one female viewer, who responds: "From now on, I'm watching Pox News. Now there's a trashy news show!" Big Hollywood, the celeb blog founded by conservative writer Andrew Breitbart, called out the old skit (re-run this week) as a jab at the mega popular news network. "The message is clear," a blogger named Stage Right noted, "I can't even sit my kids in front of 'Sesame Street' without having to worry about the Left attempting to undermine my authority." Since then, the ombudsman for PBS has weighed in and agrees the parody "should have been resisted" by producers.[/quote] [url]http://www.popeater.com/2009/11/06/sesame-street-dig-at-pox-news-backfires/?icid=main|main|dl2|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.popeater.com%2F2009%2F11%2F06%2Fsesame-street-dig-at-pox-news-backfires%2F[/url] Maybe the blogger should just sit his kids outside instead of in front of a tv, then there is no chance of television corrupting his kids.
I wonder if hardcore conservatives like these ever considers the fact that they're the world's walking jokes.
It's obviously a parody of both Fox AND CNN. There is no bias here.
republicans are always called out on being biased. But when liberals are being biased for some reason it isn't a issue.
Goddamn, leave Sesame Street alone I doubt it's targeted viewers (3 year olds) got the reference anyway
Sounds POXy to me.
Took me awhile to even work out what they were whinging about, I hardly thing this will affect kids in any way.
What are they crying out for, Fox is a parody news network like the Onion anyways.
Goddamn left disrespecting my authority.
He should be glad his kids are getting a negative impression of Fox News from early on.

If they parioded CNN as well, where's the bias? Conservatives always need something to complain about, media to blast as "innaproperate" and "biased," etc. :sigh: [editline]08:38AM[/editline] HOYL FUCK! Look at Google, they changed their logo to a Sesame Street one, right after that episode aired! Google is now the most politically biased website on the Internet! Whenever you Google abortion, pro-choice websites always come up first! This proves the conspiracy! :tinfoil:

[quote]"I can't even sit my kids in front of 'Sesame Street' without having to worry about the Left attempting to undermine my authority."[/quote] This woman is the one who ought to be watching Sesame Street. Jesus, a lot of conservatives nowadays treat the Left like some shady organization who wants to steal their kids and infect them with their homo agenda.

Fuckers who mess with Sesame Street need a kick in the face.
does he really think his kids are going to actually get that reference
They said it was trashy because oscar lives in a trashcan. It was a lame pun, not an insult.
It's funny because it's true. I've watched for and it insulted my very intelligence.
I really just wish fox news would fall into a void an never come back. Glenn beck deserves to live in Auschwitz from 1937 and if he lives, then he deserves to have a news show.

Both Republicans and Democrats are constantly watching the other side to see if they screw up so they can call them out on it and make them look bad.

Fucking Sesame Street causing trauma between real news stations.
