Faux News and its War on...

Well, just about anything.  But this week it seems it is on kids and, for goodness sake, Christmas.  First - the kids.  On the network's "Follow the Money" program, host Eric Bolling has deemed that the Muppets are commies.  He says that Kermit and Miss Piggy are following the so-called liberal agenda with their new Disney-released movie.

The story line features an evil oil baron, Tex Richman. And show guest Dan Gainor of the conservative Media Research Center, says that it is manipulating the kids and "give(s) the anti-corporate message." Now, in the movie, there is no mention of actual oil drilling.  Good Ol' Tex is trying to destroy the Muppets' Theater and they are just trying to save it.


On another Faux News front, Gretchen Carlson, the co-host of the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends, hosted a debate on the show between George Giuliani, professor of special education at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University, and Brad Stine, the conservative stand-up comedian about... Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. 


Stine was trying to take down Rudolph because he is a "positive image of a kid who overcomes bullying and adversity."  (NetworkedBlogs)  Stine pointed out that at least Rudolph didn't sue Santa Claus because it was a hostile work environment.  (Mediaite.com)


What's next, Faux News?  Are you gonna attack the Bible?
