Fox hosts accuse Sesame Street of "programming" children because Elmo got vaccinated

JOEY JONES (GUEST HOST): Let's move onto another topic, Sesame Street is under fire following their latest video about Covid-19 vaccines for kids under five years old. Let's watch this.

(snip)

ELMO'S DAD: I had a lot of questions about Elmo getting the Covid vaccine. Was it safe? Was it the right decision? I talked to our pediatrician so I could make the right choice. I learned that Elmo getting vaccinated is the best way to keep himself, our friends, neighbors, and everyone else healthy and enjoying the things they love.

(snip)

JONES: I didn't know Elmo had a dad myself, Sean.

CARLEY SHIMKUS (HOST): Neither did I!

JONES: But with nine kids, how do you feel about Sesame Street programming parents to get their kids vaccinated?


------------------------

I think this cements the argument that RW media is programmed. Fox obviously doesn't know what "programming" means.

Or does Fox object to asking medical professionals instead of gleaning through the swamp of quackery they prefer to consult?

Anything that informs or enlightens is against their interests.
They have been taking away funding for years.
