Fox Business' Follow The Money Unmasks The Muppets' Liberal Agenda: "Brainwashing" Your Kids! | Media Matters for America
Some of these networks hosts, and some C-D posters, ought to do the same thing, and that is... give this type of thinking a rest. I mean, the Fox guy, and his guest, are basically conspiracy theorists. And those conspiring; Muppets! It's not just Fox. When the movie Avatar came out I read some stuff about how it was a racist movie. I saw the movie, read the explanation, and I had to roll my eyes. Same here with the Muppets allegedly teaching children to be anti-corporate. Give me a break.

It's Fox Business. They pretty much exist to provide youtube clips for liberals to pass around at their ACLU meetings and gay cheese tastings.

Maybe Fob Business, based on the observations of the Muppets, can encourage the rating be changed to PG.

Wow, I had to reread your brief post to see how you twisted around Fox's silly Muppet movie fear into a failing of liberals. I could do the same thing but I don't know if I could do it in two dozen words, like you did. But then, I've always been long-winded.

Anyway, I'm amazed at how you wildly partisan posters (and there seems to be a million of you right at this website) can seemingly go on and on tirelessly with anti-conservative, or anti-liberal drivel. I mean, there are free porn sites on the net to visit!

Yes, it's a children's movie, that's why Faux needs to cool down and stop getting off because of weird things. It must have been a slow day for them.

They really brought in "There Will Be Blood" as an anti oil movie? And Captain Planet is anti-oil? No, it's about not littering and that stuff.

Then my favorite part is how there is a mention of Medicare and Medicaid (which is being dismantled by Conservatives yet being lauded here) and then that their is a record number of people on food stamps as a positive thing. I did not know that I should be so lucky as to receive food stamps.

"Why would that Muppet be starving?" Well first off, half of the things mentioned do not have anything to do with food. Second, you usually are on food stamps because you are starving, and it does not give you enough food.

Food stamp usage has gone up 40% under Obama? I can guarantee that the number of poor has not risen by that much. What it means is that people are getting more help now. Then, as it is getting explained, Faux interrupts and gives some lame excuse which does not make what he said okay.

They certainly love yelling at Faux. "If you can't be right, be loud." They then take jabs at a bunch of people in the Democratic Party and get offended when told why they are wrong. Such as the example of 11 people dying, and then Faux getting upset over drilling?

It's time to occupy the theater
