It took them two years to get mad about this?

Thin skinned douche bags at Fox News...

I think many Fox New viewers would benefit from watching Sesame Street, but not encessarily for the reasons this lady seems to think.

They might learn the difference between the letters D and R.

Dammit I'm Offended! How Dare Fox News Make Thinly Veiled Jabs at Pox News. Now I May Not Be Some Slick Pundit, But Dammit I Need For These "News" Networks To Stop Bickering Betweenst Themelves And Report News As Slanted And Biased As Possible!

it's unfortunate that the title doesn't give credit to the original source.

all credit is due to breitbart and his crappy blog/websites, big hollywood/bigovernment/breitbart tv, without them this 'outrage' would have been ignored.

once again i'm left wondering why any sane person goes there. granted it's not world nut daily, but it's due to a lack of trying

I heard about this on NPR last week. I love that it's only Fox News viewers that are getting outraged.

What pathetic really isn't that Fox is making hay out of something from two years ago (manufacturing controversy is what they do). Its that their sheep are dumb enough to keep falling for it....and proud of it to boot. If you need help identify a Fox sheep with inability to think for themselves or gather the facts about any issue...just ask them about this.

If they have an opinion that isn't "what are you talking about" or "who cares?", then you know you are dealing with an empty headed fool that should be avoided at all costs as they are a clear Fox-head. This might be my new litmus test for a few months as someone that stupid and pathetic is someone dangerous and untrustworthy.

Not since The Electric Company's special pro-life episode have right wingers been so outraged.

It's not like Elmo sang an entertaining diddy about Glenn Beck being a deranged c***.


God, now I want to see that.

Or how he did horrible things in 1990 (as that meme went).

Default They might at least break out the old

rational argument that while Sesame Street is entertaining it really does very little to help kids learn how to read. Follow that up with compelling arguments against continued funding of public television in an age of 100's of different channels and
less expensive ways of reaching the masses such as specialized websites and they might win some converts. Arguing with someone, especially puppets, over what is clearly just some mild sarcasm just makes you look like a thin skinned fool. (Of course one could argue that the Fox logo should be right next to the definition fool, idiot, dolt, etc. in the dictionary or have a puppet sing a song about it. Maybe one of these things is not like the either with a picture of a wise old owl,
Albert Einstein, Steven Hawkins, and the Fox newscaster of your choice.
