Related: About this forumKermit and Miss Piggy attack Fox News at UK conference.
&feature=player_embeddedKermit the Frog and Miss Piggy hit back at Fox News during a UK press conference following the London Premiere of their new film. Fox had publically criticized the film for supposedly pushing a 'dangerous liberal agenda' at kids.
As MediaMatters reports:
During the December 2 edition of Fox Business Follow the Money, host Eric Bolling discussed the plot to the Muppets movie with Media Research Centers Dan Gainor. Noting that the antagonist of the film is an oil tycoon named Tex Richman, Bolling asked, Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to kind of brainwash our kids? Gainor responded by saying: Yeah, absolutely. And theyve been doing it for decades.
During the segment, on-screen text asked, Are liberals trying to brainwash your kids against capitalism?
Many more videos on Fox Bashing liberals, the muppets and media matters take on it.

(5,420 posts)1. can somebody do a little cut job on that
and make the part where Miss Piggy says something like "it's almost as funny as Fox news being called news" stand alone?

who are gonna get so much shit for going so far off script. And really we shouldn't be taking what Miss Piggy says seriously. But, they might have just done
some damage to their public funding.
