Fox Business blasts The Muppets for brainwashing America's kids with anti-corporate, liberal agenda

'Follow the Money' host Eric Bolling sees 'liberal Hollywood' message in revival of Jim Henson's puppets.
The Muppets are a group of puppet characters created by Jim Henson starting in 1954--55. Although the term is often used to refer to any puppet that resembles the distinctive style of The Muppet Show, the term is both an informal name and legal trademark owned by the Walt Disney Company in reference to the original characters created by Henson.
The word "Muppet" itself first appeared in 1956, and was said by Henson to have been created by combining the words "marionette" and "puppet". However, Henson was also known to have stated that it was just something he liked the sound of, and he made up the "marionette/puppet" story while talking to a journalist because it sounded plausible.
After earlier unsuccessful attempts, The Walt Disney Company bought the Muppets in 2004. Exceptions include characters appearing on Sesame Street (as they were previously sold to Sesame Workshop, although they have always had creative rights, only paying The Jim Henson Company to create and provide their Muppet characters for their use) and the Fraggles of Fraggle Rock (which are still owned by The Jim Henson Company). The legal trademark on the term "Muppet" is currently held by The Muppets Studio, a division of The Walt Disney Company, although Sesame Workshop and The Jim Henson Company continue to use the term on their characters with certain permissions from Disney.
An eponymous movie written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller and directed by James Bobin was released on November 23, 2011, to much critical acclaim.
The Muppets' latest television special, A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa, premiered on NBC on December 17, 2008. It was released on DVD on September 29, 2009. A Halloween TV special featuring the Muppets was expected to air on ABC in October 2011, but was shelved due to the 2011 film.

@loganinvermont Hey, thanks a lot. It's hard to take the muppets seriously.

FOX is exactly right. Sample line Hollywood: Meryl Streep in Julie and Julia, "...he is a RePUBlican", with flared-nostril repugnance. And, of course, you get an immature guy like the one in this film with a schoolboy mentality (re; the hat), making fun of people who happen to be smart enough to see through what they do--to manipulate kids because, they really see kids as pawns in their hands. They sure don't think they are smart enough to think for themselves.

I always thought they were all the way right. Go Muppets!

[Earthwalker40]

@rrmjvand exactly right my friend.

[rrmjvand]

PBS is NOT non-biased.

[rrmjvand]

@loganinvermont The truth is that Fox is exactly right. And if you don't believe it then you are also not smart enough to think on your own two feet.

@Mike2020able No way am I going to boycott FOX!!  FOX ROX!!!!!!!!

[rrmjvand]

Hollywood and the media are CONSTANTLY degrading conservatives. What's new? I am sure the Muppets movie did too. Liberals always target the young because they consider them manipulable.
