"Sesame Street" Trashes Fox News As "Pox News"

A clip from a two-year-old episode of "Sesame Street" is making the rounds, in which a Muppet says she is going to start watching "a trashy news show" called "Pox News".

I would love to have Fox News interview 10,000 children under 5 and see if they can find one that isn't a relative that has actually HEARD of Fox News.

I wouldn't watch it though. That channel is way too trashy.

I'm republican, so I spot media bias all the time. This is NOT A BIG DEAL compared to other things I have seen. I don't know why conservatives are getting all excited about this clip. Every time I watch Fox, I see they aren't afraid of poking a little fun at themselves. Watch The Simpsons for example. They are always poking fun at Fox, and I think it's hilarious. As soon as someone else does it however, everyone goes into a temper tantrum about liberals. Chill.

@CrazyCheeseMagee They also didn't mind when Sue Sylvester on "Glee" called Sarah Palin stupid.

@beckyboston

They talked for weeks about Dumbledore being gay so I assume they would.

@beckyboston it's BERT and ERNIE. bert is the top.

I imagine Fox News also has something to say about Ernie and Bert's sexual orientation.

@brewtuber im a liberal and find it biased and a big deal

They also referred to "GNN" (CNN) as trashy... It's not like they didn't refer to Fox News' major competitor as trashy as well. Oh but I suppose it's fine if CNN is Grouch News Network all Trash and Stinky things all the time?

'how dare these cartoons speak down to the mighty right wing party, these liberals are trying to undermine my authority and brainwash my child into thinking that they have FREE REIGN over their opinion and choose the left wing party, or worse, they might VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT! i cant let this happen' thought process of angry bloggers

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

Ironic that Fox News gets mad at that weak satire but don't seem to mind when The Simpsons has quotes like "I'm Rupert Murdoch, the Billionaire Tyrant!" That specific quote was even said by Rupert Murdoch himself in the episode Sunny, Cruddy Sunday. And what about when Family Guy compared the McCain/Palin ticket to the Nazi party? Yes, it did get some attention from Fox but not a full-on rant.

I SMELL NEPOTISM!
