The Muppets Are Communist, Fox Business Network Says

The Muppets Are Communist, Fox Business Network Says

Last week, on the network's "Follow the Money" program, host Eric Bolling went McCarthy on the new, Disney-released film, "The Muppets," insisting that its storyline featuring an evil oil baron made it the latest example of Hollywood's so-called liberal agenda.

Bolling, who took issue with the baron's name, Tex Richman, was joined by Dan Gainor of the conservative Media Research Center, who was uninhibited with his criticism.

"It's amazing how far the left will go just to manipulate your kids, to convince them, give the anti-corporate message," he said.

Gainor blamed the film, and its predecessors, for Occupy Wall Street and the environmental movement.

"This is what they're teaching our kids. You wonder why we've got a bunch of Occupy Wall Street people walking around all around the country, they've been indoctrinated, literally, for years by this kind of stuff," Gainor said. "Whether it was 'Captain Planet' or Nickelodeon's 'Big Green Help,' or 'The Day After Tomorrow,' the Al Gore-influenced movie, all of that is what they're teaching, is that corporations is bad, the oil industry is bad, and ultimately what they're telling kids is what they told you in the movie 'The Matrix': that mankind is a virus on poor old mother Earth."

I've seen it. It does feature a battle against a crony-capitalist oil baron. Here's the precis from the production company "With the help of three fans, The Muppets must reunite to save their old theater from a greedy oil tycoon." That's what the movie is about. You can't change that Lady Jazzer.

Bye the way... where does anyone at Fox use the word "communist?" They don't. Your headline is a lie. (what's new)

I saw the new muppet movie this weekend and it was anti-capitalist. The muppets were unable to keep their studio/theatre running because they weren't offering something people wanted to see. They had to host a charitython to stay open and fell short, proving their business model was bankrupt.

Only makes sense to let Richman buy the lot, drill for oil, and help lower the price of gasoline for the working class.

Instead of the Muppets working within legal means like the oil baron, they used violence and kidnapping to achieve their goals. rofllol

Accurate, but it is only a movie. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars, the original songs were weak, and the movie needed more muppet and less lead human time.

How does using the title of the article become a lie? Take your outrage up with the author of the article not LJ.

Nope... she clipped and pasted it here... she is supporting the context of the article. You tell Lady Jazzer to do her homework and not post mistruths. Ah... you sweet on LJ?

And while you're sticking up for the lying headline, you want to tell what the movie is about?
