So yeah Fox news Apparently is accusing the muppets movie and the TV show of Indoctrination children on communistic ideals since in the show and movies i guess oil companyies are depicted as greedy corrupt monster.

Why aren't we working on that, science? Using peoples' stupidity as energy.

I also hate their "debate" were they basically smother the other woman by yelling at her.

You know this is why they say people who watch Fox News are the most uninformed people around when it comes to knowing what's going on in the world. And I just cannot help but think: this is why we're going to no longer be a country in 2012.

I used to insult FOX News, but I took an arrow to the knee.

(I'm much more tired of FOX News hate than arrow-knees, for the record.)

The pot calling the kettle black. Anyway, the only thing more astounding than Fox News is the people who blindly swallow the stuff they spew.

Yeah, hate brought on by continuous misinformation is so undeserved.

Not what what I said. I'm sure continued usage of things such as "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" and Rick'Rolling has merits in many occasions, but at some point, I wish to see absolutely anything else.

I laughed when that oil dude was talking. It was as if the big bad oil industry was being crippled by Miss Piggy's iron grip. Sorry, but I can't take anyone from that idustry seriously when they're pleading on how they've been victimized (in itself funny) by the likes of the Muppets and Captain Planet.

Fox news: If you like it, well your a terrorist, communist, anti-Christ, Hitler worshiper.

Seriously though why does it seem like they hate everything I like? I think I need to like Fox news that way they will have to hate themselves and then they will take their news off the air.... ouch my brain hurts.

I love that line "Are liberals trying to brain wash your kids against capitalism?"

Right because Capitalism is working so well for us right now that this would be a bad thing...

Those damned Commies, with their environmentalism and their advocating taking responsibility for one's actions! The day we stop doing whatever we want to make a buck is the day we renounce our freedom!

Seriously though, do these people even pay attention to what they're saying?

Already a thread on the subject. Sorry

I quite frankly am surprised they haven't attacked a Christmas carol yet. "a mean, grouchy rich man? Dickens must have had a liberal agenda". I myself am conservative but with a lot of the stuff they have on fox news, I'm not surprised that a lot of liberals have think that way about conservatives. Come on, fox. Not everything is a big conspiracy.

Its funny, I watch Fox, and CNN and MSNBC. They all do the same thing, they all demonize the other side and say things that only people who love them and fall in with the dogma could agree with and yet Fox is the only one which gets called out for it?

EDIT: they do have a point though, communism maybe not, but why is the big business guy always the bad guy?

Might have to do with stuff like hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil being dumped into the ocean because of big business fuck ups, subsequent cover ups, and larger interest in maintaining good PR than fixing the damn problem.

Little things like that.

Big Green Help caused Occupy Wall Street. What with their tree planting and recycling, jerks.

Starving children don't exist, how dare sesame street say we have a homeless problem.

"There is no competitive source besides crude at this point". Having a monopoly makes it ok.

And doubt yell over someone when they are talking and laugh dismissively.

Government is equally liable in many cases. I hate BP as much as the next guy for what they did in the gulf, BUT I hate them more for being one of the biggest pushers of the "green" agenda/propaganda while having the worst safety standards in the business, yet because they give lip service to the cause Obama gave them a green award for being the best most earth friendly oil company (even though they are the least) the week before the rig went up in smoke and oil.
I saw a little bit of Dr Dolittle two the other day... it was all about a logging company wanting to clear cut thousands of acres of forest and the animals have to stop it. Once again the big company is the bad guy, and its even more insulting because logging companies DONT DO THAT!!! They don't clear cut clear cutting is bad for business, takes longer for the trees to come back, also cutting is good because it makes forest fires less bad, no old dead trees to go up like kindling. Seriously look it up, forest fires to the most damage in places where logging companies are not allowed to go.

All I'm saying is its lazy writing and its not even accurate, portraying a stereotype of big business that is more like government with its imminent domain then anything else. All an oil company can do is give you a lot of money for your land, the government can (and has/will) take it by force with little to no compensation and give it to someone else (their friend who got them elected.)

Why are people arguing that oil companies deserve to be the enemy?

It's the Muppet Movie. It's not political. Greedy people have *always* been bad guys in tales told to children, because greedy people tend to fuck things up. The movie isn't telling children "IF YOU SUPPORT OIL YOU'RE KILLING MUPPETS". It's an anti-greed message, like it always has been. I can say with some certainty (without having seen the film) that what the guy is doing to get oil is vilified, not the fact that he's getting oil at all.
