According to the talking heads on Fox news, the depiction of a greedy Oil Tycoon Tex Richman in the Muppets new movie is giving a negative view of successful businessmen to kids. They also take exception to a recent Sesame Street special where a muppet didn't have enough food.
These are the most laughable passages in the article: [Dan Gainor of the conservative Media Research Center] suggested that there "should be" OccupyWallStreet Muppets, saying that Occupy protesters "have been indoctrinated literally for years" by TV shows such as 1980s cartoon "Captain Planet" or Nickelodeon's "Big Green Help," which focuses on recycling. [Host Eric] Bolling said he grew up poor and his parents would point out wealthy individuals as aspirational ideals, "not pointing the finger at Tex Richman and saying he's a bad guy." Bolling then went on to ask fellow Fox host Andrea Tantaros about the issue, and she also criticized "Sesame Street," where The Muppets got their start. A primetime "Sesame Street" special that aired Oct. 9 featured a Muppet whose family didn't have enough food. If they are truely "fair and balanced" why not mention that in the face of soaring gas prices in 2006 Exxonmobil gave Chairman Lee Raymond a $400 million retirement package? Read the full article and get a nice chuckle. msnbc.com Entertainment - FOX says 'Muppets' are brainwashing kids |

We've got Medicaid, there's a record number of people out there on food stamps ... there's all these kinds of programs out there to take care of hungry kids," Tantaros said. "Why would that Muppet be starving?"
Ive been through this. The system is not fair. I was told I made 80 dollars too much a month to get any help. this is after the wife lost her job and was pregnant with the 2nd kid. she was denied unemployment due to a loophole the employer had (she was hired through a temp agency). This was about the time the entire financial burdon of the household was placed on me. If you try to work so you dont leach off the government then you get no help. if you sit on your ass and pop kids out left and right then you get it all given to you. Its a broken system.

Such bull shit, the programs are only for the people that refuse to work. If you have a job (even a crapy one) you dont qualify for most of these programs. This is why kids are hungry in america.

This kind of stuff is happening everywhere. Where I live, there are programs out there to help single moms or low income families, and they are reducing the cut off threshold to receive assistance. So now single mothers making 30K a year are making too much, and they are better off going on welfare and staying home with their kids even though these mothers prefer to work. Messed up, huh? |

Is it sad when I watch Fox News when I want to laugh and The Daily Show when I actually want news? Because that's how it is.
