In a staged press conference following the debut of [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1204342/"]their new film[/URL], two of puppeteer [URL="http://henson.com/"]Jim Henson[/URL]‘s most famous characters, Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, took questions from reporters about [URL="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/03/foxs-bolling-the-muppets-liberal-bias-is-brainwashing-our-kids/"]recent criticism[/URL] lodged by commentators on the conservative Fox News Channel.
“It’s a funny thing, they were concerned about us having some prejudice against oil companies, and I can tell you that’s categorically not true,” Kermit explained. “And besides, if we have problems with oil companies, why would we have spent the entire film driving around a gas-guzzling Rolls-Royce?”
Miss Piggy added: “It’s almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of being, uh, you know, being news.”
“Boy, that’s going to be all over the Internet,” Kermit sighed.
“Yeah, if they take what I say seriously, they’ve got a real big problem,” she replied.
In addition to suggesting that “The Muppets” are trying to brainwash children, the Fox News Channel’s Republican opinion host Sean Hannity in recent months [URL="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/06/03/fox-news-panel-attacks-sesame-street-for-liberal-bias/"]attacked the PBS children’s show “Sesame Street”[/URL] for allegedly attempting to coddle children into an authoritarian dictatorship that comes to power after the destruction of the American family.
A Fox News panel [URL="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/10/08/foxs-the-live-sesame-street-poverty-muppet-is-liberal-bull/"]also recently took issue with “Lily,”[/URL] a new character on “Sesame Street” who’s impoverished and hungry, calling her addition “liberal bull” even though one in five American children live in poverty.[/quote]

You know you (Fox News) got a problem when you get trashed by puppets.
Um, ok? How is this news?

Fox made the Muppets news, and they responded.
Muppets... Wait a second, what else begins with M... Muslim.
Hands... Puppets... Hands control puppets.
Obama was a Muslim and now he is controlling us to bend to his socialist ways! Help me Glenn Beck, I think I am onto something.

You forget how many times Fox News has already been called out.

And why should it stop? Everytime a major news outlet makes a stupid mistake, they should be called out. They ask for all the shit they get.

I guess that's the same reason Glaber gets shit all over whenever he posts a thread. Nevermind, then.

Well he chooses to make himself Fox's mouthpiece. I wont insult people over their politics, but I will at least hope they learn from their mistakes.

[i]Wow[/i]
[QUOTE=Spacewolf;34471097][i]Wow[/i][/QUOTE]
Adding an impoverished character to Seasame Street seems redundant considering they already have a guy who lives in a trash can.
I'm sorry.....wait, no I'm not.
Fox had this coming in so many fucking ways.

No, this thread just has nothing to discuss and was obviously only posted for more republican bashing, as if we didn't have enough here in SH

What's the problem with Republican bashing? Any sane person can easily see their party and Fox News are simply weasley, shifty-eyed, money-grubbing, propaganda broadcasting, racist old pricks. They deserve their bashings. Maybe if they stopped being assholes and started being coherent and likable, than the thrashing would stop.

Uh, yea. Demonizing the other side isn't in the spirit of compromise and progress.
It's not really demonizing, it's pointing out what they themselves had said and mocking them for it.
