Sesame Street's War on 'Pox' News

More By Mara Gay on November 06, 2009 9:44am

Did muppets pave the way for the White House war against Fox News?  As Sesame Street celebrates its 40th anniversary, the beloved children's show is drawing fire. In a recently uncovered episode (first aired two years ago), Oscar the Grouch and his girlfriend Grunchetta appear to take a swipe at the cable news network when they call the fictional network "Pox News" a "trashy news show." The Daily Finance reports:

Maybe the OP felt the thread was warranted. Everything's relative. Toodles!

Oh, ok. Well, I haven't been around that long...
Nice to know unfounded, unwarranted hatred has some history behind it...and it's not just a philosophical trendy thing some feel, without reason, compelled to do.

Um, this thread has been around for nearly four years. Just sayin'.

Finally. Born of the raw and unwarranted hate shown FOX by dailykos and moveon and other radical left wing voices, RP now hosts an anti-FOX thread.
Well done...parroting lives.

The Headline

Insurgents Fire at Rep. Payne's Plane in Somalia

The lead
Rep. Donald Payne's trip to Mogadishu, Somalia, on Monday to meet on international assistance to that war-torn country and the issue of piracy was marred when Islamist insurgents fired mortars at the airport as his plane was leaving.

The money quote
A defense official told FOX News that "explosive devices went off in the vicinity of Payne's aircraft when his plane was taking off from the airport in Mogadishu." However, the official could not say whether Payne was the intended target.

well, as presented, seems legit; unfortunately, there is so much distortion in these partisan news shows, that as i didn't see the pieces i know i have no idea what the truth is..having seen never seen keith olbermann  have an opposing or contrasting viewpoint on his show, and his rabid jealousy of o'reilly's ratings i suspect there is a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

Here's a cute little deception Fox News perpetrated last week, attempting to support the idea that the Obama administration is changing it's message on the economy:

you are just a little more rigid than me i guess..

so abc  nbc cbs fox are all creepy got it..!!

I don't see what is so hard to comprehend about the difference between a network that dedicates itself to NEWS and one that doesn't... but hey— I can only hand you your glasses, not make you wear em.

And what planet do you live on where Jimmy Kimmel isn't creepy   That guy's a Tard.

 OCDHG wrote: 

its ridiculous..
kimmel is on abc.
abc has news < left leaning news > kimmel isn't creepy.

your premise is contrived. fox news covers news the left leaning networks < all the rest > won't cover.

and hannity is intolerable, too right..like olbermann is too left
but the rest of the shows are very balanced..

but anyway i know you don't agree and thats fine, but i still don't understand how its creepy!!
its either funny or its not...!!

anyway i said my bit....i heard your input ...agree to disagree...peace..

What's creepy about it is that FOX poses as a NEWS channel.  Most of it's programming is politicized BS.  To be fair CNN, MSNBC, etc. are guilty in their own right, but not to the degree of FOX, which is kind of like the shark-jumper of all 24-hour news channels.  If they want to start calling themselves a comedy channel, then I'm all for it.  Otherwise it's creepy.  I don't see what's hard to understand about the concept.  Conan, Kimmel, et al come on regular network television channels, which do not purportedly dedicate their entire existance to "NEWS," therefore they can play whatever they want without it being creepy.

 Except for Small Wonder and Alf.  Those were creepy but for different reasons.

whats creepy?

its either funny or not...
if i watch the daily show at 3am in repeat is it creepy? why?

to make you feel better it plays at midnight on the west coast...same time as jimmy kimmell

and conan o'brien, so that should make you feel better about it...anyway try to watch it sometime..its politically incorrect but not one sided at all.
that would be intolerable. they have left wing guests and middle of the road and libertarians too...
