Fox Business: The new Muppets movie is teaching our kids about class warfare!

Fox Accuses 'The Muppets' of Brainwashing Kids Against the Rich
If I didn’t know better I’d say that Disney slipped someone over at Fox Business Channel a bill to go on a rant against its hit movie, “The Muppets.”

Naaaaah.

On Fox Business Channel anchor Eric Bolling showed a clip of the new Disney movie and suggested -- well, no, he said outright -- that the story was aimed at planting the seeds of class warfare among our precious children.

That’s because the Muppet–villain is an oil baron called Tex Richman.

“What’s actually going on there? Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to brainwash our kids?” he asked, quite reasonably.

Unless things change, sadly the next generation will get the same lesson. Too bad my generation had to learn the hard way.

Faux Noise will say anything to ruin my day.
