‘Sesame Street’ Trashes Fox News
by Larry O'ConnorAdd one more soldier to the Left’s war on Fox News: Oscar the Grouch.
Last week, in a re-broadcast of an episode that originally aired two years ago, Oscar starts his own news network, GNN (Grouchy News Network). An irate viewer calls in to berate him that the news is not grouchy enough:
“I am changing the channel. From now on I am watching ‘Pox’ News. Now there is a trashy news show.”
–
Later in the episode, Anderson Cooper from 4th place CNN, guest stars as a reporter for GNN. He interacts with “Walter Cranky” and “Dan Rather-Not” — Muppets representing real-life liberal news personalities — and they talk about “Meredith Beware-a” and “Diane Spoiler.” But no affectionate nicknames for Fox News personalities; no Spill O’Reilly or Brittle Hume — nope, and the only disparaging characterization of real-world news is reserved for Fox: Fox is a POX. It is trashy. They didn’t even attempt to try “MessyNBC.”
If Mom and Dad watch cable news, it’s better than 50/50 they watch “POX News.” So what gives? PBS — a network partially funded with my tax dollars — has the right to tell my kids that their parents watch “trashy” news? The message is clear, I can’t even sit my kids in front of “Sesame Street” without having to worry about the Left attempting to undermine my authority. And don’t tell me, “If you don’t like it change the channel.” There are no channels left! It’s everywhere. Just last week I had Obama’s service and volunteerism promoted on every single major network, including Disney and Nickelodeon.
…by the way, why SHOULD I change the channel? This is MY channel, I’m paying for it!
The fact that this is a re-run from an episode written during the Bush Presidency only reinforces that this is nothing new. The Left has been doing this for years now. All of us have seen it and felt powerless to mention it, because if we do, we’re ridiculed and dismissed (thank you, Mr. Alinsky).
No, this is nothing new. In Julia L. Mickenberg’s book “Learning From the Left” the history is plainly spelled out. Radicals drummed out of mainstream culture in the late 1940’s turned to children’s entertainment for opportunities not just to work, but to influence. In her introduction, she quotes folk singer Pete Seeger about those artists: “I think many of them are thinking more on the lines of, ‘If we’re going to save this world, we’re going to have to reach the kids’.”
Now this is always a slippery argument for us to make from the right, because we run the risk of being caricatured in the way the late Jerry Falwell was in the infamous “Tinky-Winky” incident. But with this ever-growing list:
- Television shows steering children to left-infested “volunteer” web sites.
- The NEA and White House Office of Public Engagement getting caught RED-handed rallying artists to the cause of Obama-led initiatives.
- An onslaught of public schools teaching their students songs of praise for Barack Obama.
- The simulcast speech by the President to school children with an attached lesson plan to teach our children how they can “help” the president.
- The effort by the President’s top advisers to turn news agencies against the sole-voice of skepticism within the television media.
…One can be forgiven for taking a second look at that Teletubby with the purse… He DOES seem a little gay, doesn’t he?
The insidious nature of left-leaning artists involved in altruistic artistic endeavors always carries the cloak of unassailability:
“How can you fault them for wanting to teach and entertain our children?”
“You must be a conspiracy-theorist to think that all of these people have a master plan to brainwash your children.”
But no one here thinks that in one fell swoop the Left will pass laws against the free expression of dissenting political or cultural views. That’s not how it’s done. First you “educate” children from your perspective. The rest will follow — just like the proverbial boiling frog … is everyone enjoying the Jacuzzi?
But the difference now is that a Saul Alinsky-trained, William Ayers-influenced, Annenberg Challenge Board Member is now our President, and his influence, tactics and worldview (not to mention the power of your federal tax dollars through NPR, PBS and the NEA) now influence our culture at such an accelerated rate that the frog is no longer on a slow simmer but at a rapid boil.
Irony is a wonderful thing. Just as the Left elected the perfect Propagandist-in-Chief, their opposition (you and me) got wise, agile and pretty entertaining. With every lame attempt to turn our kids against us, we now call them on it and point out how ham-fisted, clumsy and square they are. The Left’s worst nightmare came true: The conservatives are the hip ones.
“Sesame Street” can awkwardly slam FoxNews from the comfort of their stodgy old PBS studios… Meanwhile, we have the cool kids on our side: Dennis Miller, Greg Gutfeld, Andrew Breitbart and yes, even Glenn Beck. And our cool kids are pointing out just how boring, lame, predictable and lazy the other side has become. No longer will middle-America sit back and feel powerless as these snobs pass judgment on what we find to be informative and entertaining.
We no longer NEED their approval. We see them for what they are: bitter, pompous and desperate.

Get used to it
This is the new norm and if you don't like it you are a Racist
You have more important things to worry about ,like how YOU ! can serve "The One".
StageRight, you're overreacting. Sesame Street merely gave Fox News a name change (to Pox) that was perfectly in line with their CNN parody Grouchy News Network. It didn't come across as ideologically biased to me, and I am pretty sensitive to that kind of stuff, especially on super-liberal PBS.
If we conservatives are to be successful in the media, we can't keep grabbing our skirts and shrieking every time we are parodied, especially when parodied on a equal level with left leaning counterparts. Man up.
You're suggesting that the left is bitter, pompous and desperate? Mr. Pot meet Mr. Kettle. You're getting your knickers twisted over a puppet? And what's this about undermining your authority? The fact that you consider Fox a serious news network strips you of all authority.
AMEN! As a child born in the mid 60's I've had the full benefit of the Left's assault on our culture in media, print and society. Having been raised in Eastern Oregon among, arguably, one of the most Conservative places left in the United States, once I joined the military, I realized how "right-wing" I was considered. (See for details: http://www.cfif.org/htdocs/freedomline/current/in... I thought the Carter administration would have put a lid on Liberals for a generation but not even the great Ronald Reagan could hold them back for long. Even Iran-Contra was a contrived media driven non-scandal but it worked by souring the "independents" on Conservative in subsequent election cycles. And ushered in the ridiculous "compassionate conservative" mantra sung by President Bush. Slick Willy was IMPEACHED by Congress but did not have the decency to resign and the public outrage was only on the Right and was utterly muted by the old media. And now the the Obamassiah in power, well, I shouldn't have to tell any of you about the unprecedented publicity surrounding the lead up to his coronation by the old media. Remember how maligned the people on the Right were who sounded the warning bells about all of the Big-O's political mentors? But he threw Rev. Wright, William Ayers and even his own grandmother under the bus to ensure his election. But now that his true colors have been shown even a sycophantic press can't keep the American Public from standing up and finally demanding that politics-as-usual comes to a halt and that actual Conservatives take back the GOP to fight the creeping socialism which has all but strangled our body-politic from main street to Sesame Street. Big thanks to Big Hollywood, Big Government, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and all the rest of the new media for finally giving us a place to call home.
Ummm…
Sesame Street has always been a liberal place. It is a keystone to PBS's success. You can't expect anything else.
Children, they are the only audience the entertainment industry's Incontinent Prostitutes for Oba Mao can stimulate.
…this is the foundation….when they go off to school and the curriculm is cultural drivel is when the non-competitive filth starts…..this country is in trouble.

Sesame Street with the rewards given to those who run the show to keep it looking like it is loseing money make Barney blush, and old Enron execs wishing they could get royalties on the strategy they're useing.
Here's some footage Sesame Street left on the cutting room floor……
FIRST LADY GARDENS ON SESAME STREET
(Elmo)—Michelle, Michelle what kind of plant are you growing there?
(Michelle Obama)— Never mind Elmo, look at the nice vegetables I have in this big basket.
(Elmo)— But Elmo wants to know what kind of plant First lady plants. Oh I know let’s try to guess what kind of plant it is. Let’s see……
(Michelle Obama)— Elmo…
(Elmo)— Elmo sees it’s planted in a pot. Is pot a clue? Maybe pot is a clue.
(Michelle Obama)— Elmo can we just move on.
(Elmo)—Let me see. Elmo thinks it looks like a weed. Could weed be a clue? Huh, huh.
(Michelle Obama)— Elmo don’t you want to show the boys and girls the tomato plant?
(Elmo)— No this is not a tomato plant; it smells like earth, strong earth, let Elmo smell it closer.
(Michelle Obama)— Elmo you shouldn’t get too close to an unknown plant. It could be poisonous.
(Elmo)—That all right Michelle, it makes me feel good, it makes Elmo feel merry it makes me wanna laugh. Elmo feel MERRY, WANNA laugh. Whoa dude is that like a clue?
Yank their funding!
NOW!
This administration believes that the tax payers dollars are theirs to promote their agenda anyway they like. It gives you insight to what they will do if they are not stopped. The have demonstrated this just once too often. No, our children our not safe from their taxpayer propoganda. Just as they have used the community organizations (ACORN) to steal millions in tax payer dollars to gain power, they have no scruples not to use it anyplace they can get their hands on it.
who are the serious news networks? If Fox is "infotainment" so are the others. Problem is they don't seem all that entertaining.
[...] ‘Sesame Street’ Trashes Fox News [...]
this is a little off topic, but my 3 yr old had recently started to enjoy PBS and it is much better than the more mindless garbage.
He is suddenly obsessed with germs. He has to was his hands like every 10 minutes.
I am all for being careful but this is borderline obsessive. He's scared. This is a 3 year old!
don't think these messages get through? try again.
And what would you consider to be a credible news network? cnn? which can't be bothered to confirm a source before broadcasting repeated lies. Or maybe msnbc? whose anchors are all cheerleaders for the president. They either get chills up their legs every time he speaks or they're invited to the white house to be told how to assist him. Whatever happened to speaking truth to power? Or independent thought from the left?
I first saw that episode last year and couldn't believe what I was hearing. We're watching Disney more now, but I have to monitor to make sure I explain things to my daughter when it does get left leaning.
YAWN!! Turn off PBS and put some OLD cartoons on for your kids their STILL funny…..
LOL!!!! Good one!
I can't see a conspiracy here, more of a coalescence of emotion-driven notions based in that 'golden' era of changing the world via dancing in the mud – call it the March Of The Neo-Hippie. While marching to the same drum, they all do 'interpretive dances' to the beat. A swaying throng of spastic motions that leaves observers confused and more than a little annoyed as to what they just witnessed. The binder in this wave of mayhem is that if there is any shred of classical discipline it must be mocked and or destroyed – there is no end goal, nothing definable anyway, because that's not the goal, the goal is just to up-end anything that came before and make up the future as they go along, tic and tac to fit what feels better at the moment.
When conservatives control things, I believe it’s time for all of PBS to test the “Free Market?”
Give them what they deserve: A great big bird…and then Fox 'em and forget 'em.
This is exactly why the Government should not be in media or the arts.
There are some good real life lessons in those old cartoons too. Take Foghorn Leghorn and the Chicken Hawk. The moral of the story is be persistent and you can overcome any obstacle, no matter how loud and obnoxious they are.
Come on this was 2 years old and Anderson Cooper the guest, don't we have bigger fish to fry.
GO Hoffman NY 23…
Fox news should start making a Sesame Street conservative version.
Being on CNN all the time, this appearance is probably the most viewers Anderson's had at least since last November's elections (and the audience's combined IQ is definitely higher than any show MSNBC has on right now…)
It's simple…do what I've done for years. Turn off the TV. My children are one, three, and nine. They love to play outside and we enjoy watcing DVD's. I don't sit them in front of a television unless I'm watching it with them or have already watched what they are going to watch. I don't miss regular TV at all. I get about 15 movies a week from the library and they have a pretty good choice to. TV is just a bunch of overpaid fake liberals.
Thank God my parents never let me watch this trash. I think I did once and said to my Mom "this is for kids who don't know very much".
I'm kind of with you on this….
"fact that you consider Fox a serious news network strips you of all authority"
And the fact you'd say something like this puts your intelligence right around that of a puppet…..
I heard Barney's currently extolling the virtues of anti-Prop 8 legislation….
Never watched Sesame Street, was always a Muppets fan anyway.
At one time Sesame Street was actually cute. Now, the leftist loons have taken it over and made it just another one of their propoganda tools of indoctrination to create a species of Opompouszombies. Parents….send your children to Sunday School and teach them the truth of their Creator….don't let them turn into self-centered, ego-centric, thin-skinned narcissistic mental midgets like their current president.

Here's Sesame Street's Elmo interviewing Obama: http://optoons.blogspot.com/2009/10/seeking-to-av...
How much did Gutfeld pay you for that shout-out?
My younger kids are bored by the current look, feel, and vibe on Sesame Street. It hasn't been shy about its politics and agenda for years, and they are stupid to think parents haven't noticed.
My kids would rather watch my old school DVDs from the early to mid 70s, when it was about the King of 8 and the funky pinball machine, Grover the waiter and kittens trashing a dollhouse.
Watching Fox News is hard, because it's as unbiased as Pat Robertson is gay-friendly. If only they were honest about it, instead of claiming otherwise. What I get from the channel is that the leftists are the mean guys, and the conservatives are as blameless as snow. By the way, my feelings are the same when it comes to MSNBC. Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow can be as revolting as Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.
"One almost gets the feeling that Time, Newsweek, the NY Times, the LA Times, Washington Post, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, CNN, the Huffington Post, etc. are all not quite enough to balance right-wing talk radio and Fox News." – Victor Davis Hanson
http://www.victorhanson.com/articles/hanson102809...
How about only a wing… because they aren't worth the whole bird…
Can't we get older episodes (ie when the human (as opposed to the puppets) cast members didn't look so old) on DVD? If so, then I would rather buy them and have my kids watch those… at least they weren't /so/ political… well they may have been… but I was 10 or so when I last watched them so what would I know.
The thing is (and it seems most people, in particular the leftists) is that every news source is bias in one way or another… Crap, even my Government Professor in College told us all that (while requiring us to get a subscription for Newsweek because that was quiz material)
What? No talk about burning that weed?
Arthur swallowed the kool-aide. Fox has reporters that actually, guess what, report the news. Fox has panels on their programs, that unlike the other networks, such as CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, don't do. Which is balance out with liberals and conservatives. On the other networks, it's usually 3 to 1, liberals to conservative. Balanced huh? But ANYTHING remotely to the right of the main network and broadcast news channels WOULD be considered conservative because of how liberal they've all become. Fox is just as legitimate as the others. The only difference? They actually have the cajones to ask the annointed on, Obama, a pointed, tough question. They haven't sold out to the Democrat party like the others.
Don't forget Dan Rather and CBS who ran with a story relying on forged documents regarding Bush's Vietnam service during the 2004 presidential campaign. Or how about the New York Times running story after story of complete fabrication by Jayson Blair. Or how about the several occasions Reuters has run photos manipulated in Photoshop… and I don't mean merely adjusting the contrast but flat out misrepresentation like the same crying Iraqi woman in front of 4 different bombed out areas. Or staged photos by both Reuters and the AP being passed off as authentic spontaneous news events. There are many, many more examples.
Oh yeah, except for FOX, they're all "serious" and just as pure as the wind driven snow. Right.
Yes, it is.
Indeed, the tinky winky incident was a crisis of biblical proportion. The reverend should have regrouped before launching that tirade. One night I feel asleep watching nature or something on PBS HD, only to be awaken in terror, by a series of beeps and clicks. It was a kids show – I think it was boo bah or some such rot. There were multicolored penises flying around, beeping and clicking and dancing in Dolby 5.1. Needless to say, I was disturbed about the state of childrens television and taxpayer funded lunacy. May Fox continue to be a pox on the takeover of reason.
Uh – no, there was no implication of bitterness, pompousity or desperation in the article – though the terms do aptly describe your side. The article is essentially is holding up another example of the Leftist indoctrination campaign foisted upon our nation's young and vulnerable since at least the mid-1960's. It's called informing, it's known as observe and report. It's what you Lefty goofs always claim you do, when in actuality, you're the bleating sheep.
What do you expect? A show dedicated to "educating" children, funded by the government and produced and directed by liberals. I'm surprised it took this long.
I'll tell you one thing. It really is difficult telling those government controlled puppets on sesame street from the government controlled puppets on the alphabet networks.
So did Anderson Cooper share some hilarious "tea-bagging" jokes with the kiddies?
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Dalai Lama is as 'gay-friendly' as is Pat Robertson; if only Tom Hanks were as honest about his Mormon-Catholic bashing then Kingdom Hollywood righteous bias would not be so obviously intolerable.
If watching Fox is so hard, then don't watch it. You only have every other dinosaur-media outlet to choose from. Why does Fox scare you people so much? Does the Left have to run EVERYTHING? Oh wait, yes you do. Sorry, don't report my "fishiness" to Dear Leader.

Isn't it interesting how people like Arthur like to slam Fox News while completely ignoring the fact that a number of their reporters came from other networks. After 23 years with ABC Brit Hume came to FOX. After 28 years with ABC, John Stossel joins FOX. So with more than two decades with ABC, they lose all credibility overnight because they went to FOX? There's logic for you.
The question should be 'why is PBS always left-leaning??' why should it not be representative of all Americans, which by polls are more conservative than liberal. This should be changed and I think that those who scoff at the notion are going to be in for a rude awakening.
Hey Arthur!!!! How about these stalwarts of journalistic supremecy? Joy Behar, D.J. Hughley, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz? I'd even lump Larry King in there. Please hip us to why you and others like you, seem to leave them out?
As an adult, I will catch a segment of Sesame Street because the old ones brought me back to my childhood. When this show injects this political climate into the show, it loses the innocence that it once had. It's a shame, really. Grown-up, self-centered baby boomers who once again, have to make a simple kids show address the issues of their own generation.
I would, but liberals took away my Bugs Bunny and Road Runner because they were too violent.
I'm with you. I always monitored what my kids were watching and this isn't the worst example of Sesame Street pushing a liberal agenda. I know, I was watching.

So it's ok to take your money and mine and feed it to the left so they can start the propoganda war on our children? I've watched Sesame Street and decided not to let my kids watch it or the stupid Teletubbies.
If it was their money, I'd say ok, produce what you want. But it's my money they are using and I am less than thrilled about having to be the kid show police when it comes to what my kids are fed. Not OK.
Oh, and Wolf Blitzer failing to follow up during the "balloon boy" hoax when Falcon said "we did it for a show". Blitzer let the dad BS his way out of it.
Produce a kids show that leans the other way and see how the Left cries likes babies. The Left is bitter and desperate, which is why they have resorted to pushing their crap agenda on children…something about having the same mental abilities I guess.
Wrong attitude. It's your tax money too.
i'll accept that old, worn out line as soon as pbs stops using my tax money for liberal indoctrination
now i'm confused, as we talking about pbs or the public school system?
There's a storm coming………
That;s what we all do. I just want my money to stop going to the people who make this garbage.
I think Brit Humus would have been a clever name
And these people want to impose a fairness doctrine on us.
It would be fun to impose their rules on their programing.
Come on Art! We've given you plenty of examples to refute. We know you're an all-intelligent liberal. Now dazzle us with your come backs.
And now we also have this to add to the indoctrination and community-ism of our country:
http://www.nea.org/tools/17231.htm
SESAME STREET airs on PBS; PBS is an arm of the State. It isn't surprising that it wouldn't be shilling for statism and marching lockstep behind "Il Dufe," although it is a little remarkable how blatant the Hive is becoming in using its entertainment division to promote agitprop, now even to kids.
And don’t tell me, “If you don’t like it change the channel.” There are no channels left!
Why is the next logical step of turning off the TV altogether engender such fear in people?
I love the left portraying themselves, always, as the open-minded, critical thinkers. When I read or hear most stuff that comes out of the enlightened class (liberals) it's mostly regurgitated bullet points I just heard on another channel or read in another column or article. No originality. Equate it to the chants from liberal protestors that's been recycled throughout the decades. The "Hey, hey, ho, ho <insert stupid echo for rest of childish chant here>, is one I love.

Strikes me as funny that you're awful angry at someone you think you're beating in the ratings.
Gosh, I guess it's too bad that Rupert Murdoch is too busy taking your money to make quality children's programming. All those bad old lefties actually taking time out of their day to teach children to read must be chapping your hide. They're not just thinking (and complaining) about the children, they're actually doing something.
And really, YOU'RE the one inferring that PBS is telling your poor little children that their parents watch "trashy" news. If your kids make the connection Oscar yelling = Faust News yelling, who's fault is that? Oscar? He's always been a grouch.
Raising children is like voting. If you don't participate, you can't complain about the results.
Well aren't y'all speshul for sneering at other people. Do you feel better now, sweetums?
Et tu, Bert?
Doesn't engender any fear in me. The thing is hardly ever on. Thank god for Netflix and Fancast – you can pick and choose what to watch.
But this – "There are no channels left! It’s everywhere" – I agree with. And I also agree with turning the TV off or switching to one's dvd player.
yeah, that oughta be good…..
Arthur? Are you there?
WAAHHHHHH PUPPETS ARE MAKING FUN OF ME!!! WAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
This is what you complain about? Seriously?
No wonder everyone in this country thinks the Right is a bunch of crabby schoolchildren. They're watching Sesame Street and crying their eyes out about Oscar the Grouch, while the rest of us adults are actually engaging the real world.
Get over your goddamned delusions, wipe your tears off, grow up, grow a pair of goddamn TESTICLES, and man the frig up, you pathetic child.
Or would you like to cry some more? Huh? Baby? HUH?
I have to disagree. Stage isn't going crazy over this, he is establishing a pattern, if anyone needs to "man up" it is people who think that this is an overreaction. The right HAS to start addressing this pattern and calling it out. If you read past the 3rd paragraph I think it's pretty obvious.
Yes, god forbid we should be concerned about the communities where we live. It's so un-American to care about one's neighbors. After all they might be *GASP* different!
Our mistake.
1. It's a silly-looking creature
2. It is primarily found in inner city areas
3. It's preaching at our kids
4. It's taking cheap shots at Fox News
5. Everything it says and does is controlled by hidden masters, as it has a vacant, slightly psychotic look and no brains of its own.
6. Last but NOT least, there's a fair chance ACORN illegally registered it to vote as a Democrat.
Obamabot or Muppet? It's REALLY hard to tell sometimes.
Susan, Fox does have a bias. So do all the other news outlets. But Fox DOES go out of it's way to put liberals face-to-face with conservatives. They do have news, contrary to White House propaganda, and they do have opinion. That would be everyone from Beck on, with news breaks in each show. I'm with Biz_Czar, if you don't like Beck or Hannity, don't watch them. I hate Olbermann, because he is so pompous and hateful, and I choose not to watch him. Even out of curiosity. Why the White House and liberals hate Fox comes down to this. Fox asks tough questions, without succumbing to the tingles down the leg feelings that the other news sources have. Obama was elected without ANY critical inquiry by the so-called, mainstream media. Obama won't go on Fox because he's got a free ride on all the other news sources.
I haven't heard anyone on the left calling for a new Fairness Doctrine lately. The Right are the only crybabies keeping that hoary old ghost alive. And it amuses me no end that each side accuses the other of "monopolizing the media" when all I hear is WAAAAHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHH.
You're all a bunch of selfish, shrill little children, on both sides of the "debate." You are all a useless waste of space. You are all going to ruin this country. and I hope you all rot in Hell for it.
it's not rape-rape. everyone wants to **** 13 year old girls. I did not have sex with that woman. he's an acquaintance in my neighborhood.These are the government funded puppets we are really sick of. Oh, and wahhhhhhhh.
So much fuss over a 2-year old clip! So…first Stage Right is mad they parody Fox news…then he's mad they don't parody it enough by satirizing the anchors' names? Also, Stage Right: please note that those who declare themselves to be "cool…" pretty much never are. As our parents told us, being cool isn't important, being a _good_ person is. (or maybe I learned that on Sesame Street) Conservatives have taken one huge page from the liberal book: going into hysterics at the first perceived slight. And I watch a lot of tv and somehow I made it through that pernicious week of 'service promoting' tv seeing maybe one reference to a character volunteering at an animal shelter, but I'm proud to say it didn't motivate me in the least to help my fellow man or canine.
It's a wonder you took time from teabagging the State to write this post.
I'm all for that. They're so poorly run, that even with their tax funded stipends, they have to beg for money a few times a year. Wouldn't this be considered another "Successful" government run entity? Kinda like the one we may get to decide whether you live or die?
Dazzle us with brilliance?
I doubt he even has the capacity to baffle us with bullshit.
Would that make Biden his assistant Beeker?
The sad irony of course is that since PBS, like NPR, is an organ of the State, those of us in the pro-freedom camp are forced to subsidize Hive agitprop with tax dollars.
Say what you will about FOX, but I haven't heard of Rupert Murdoch sticking a gun to anyone's head to get them to underwrite it.
I think he's the recipient. No douche bag, we're fighting back. I know it's hard to deal with and you sound like you've gone over the edge. Get some help. Please. We're just looking out for you.
He must have been a drive by troll.
well, children and Chris Matthew's leg.
Indeed, since they've been yanking our chains for years it's time to repay the favor.
