Miss Piggy And Kermit The Frog Attack Fox News [Video]
When the new Muppets movie came out Fox News claimed that the motion picture was nothing more than an anti-oil, anti-corporate propaganda film meant to influence children.
Those “fighting words” by Fox News anchor Eric Bolling led Kermit the Frog last week to release the following statement:
“It’s a funny thing, they were concerned about us having some prejudice against oil companies, and I can tell you, that’s categorically not true.”
In acting like her combative self Miss Piggy fired back that those charges were ”almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of being news.” to which Kermit the Frog concluded ”Boy that’s going to be all over the internet.”
It’s not just the Muppets that have had to fight off attacks by Fox News, film director James Bobin told the Hollywood Reporter in December:
“Cable news is 24 hours long so you have to fill it up with something. No, the Muppets are not communist. And the character of Tex Richman is not an allegory for capitalism in any way. The character is called Tex Richman.”
Here’s the Muppets video attack against Fox News:
It’s still unclear how much of their responses are scripted and how much is adlib.
I particularly like the point where Kermit The Frog mentions that the Muppets cast was driving around in a gas guzzling Rolls Royce while filming the new movie.
Do you think the Muppets Movie was an anti-oil, anti-corporation propaganda film bent on destroying the American way of life or just a fun romp down nostalgia lane?

Oscar R. Aguilera @ man, fuck that old shit. That was summoned by the left aswell!! The same kinda left that provoke police to try and abridge the rights of others, have something to bitch at the ACLU about, and satisfy the internet paranoid, the left, and the anarchist under their belts who have an agenda to see none other than limitations get abolished, and mobs rise again in this country. If you really want truth,… That WILL happen voting for paul, cause remember, the constitution still protects criminals.
So there. I exposed Anti-America.
Abridge the constitution more, and see what happens.
I would suggest that the left take an L-Tyrosine, deeply figure out who their maker is in this community, and shut up.

Oscar R. Aguilera Heh. Still an idiot. Miami? To use the Muppets as a means to have anything to do with the reason why our authorities haven't put people away for speech alone is a huge hyperbole. There has always been freedom of speech, idiot. Provoking police officers is not covered in the constitution. Enough trolling America and manipulating its citizens with a false sense of freedoms and liberty in this country.

and if you really wanna know what communist looks like, goto China. PLEASE go to mainland china. Then, when ya had enough, goto Iran. Same thing, and they will lock you up and execute you just for being Christian. Then, when ya had enough, and hopefully still alive… Come back to America. We'll see how ya think then.

Oscar R. Aguilera It's not. You idiot.
Jan 31, 2012
Oh please! Don't politicize the Muppets. Leave something for us to laugh at and not think in the back of our minds that they are anti-American or some other kind of left-wing idiots. Please!

I think that the fact this is even a conversation is ridiculous.

Carl Slocum dude, any news corporation is gonna have an opinion on something AFTER they report the incidents they find. Thats anywhere in the WORLD. So you can get over that already.

Jason Farrey Oh And Jason, Please Lookup the term "DUDE" I am Not a "DUDE" far FROM IT. Back in the 80's when Regan was president , he took away the " Fair reporting act" which held ALL News MEDIA ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPORTING " ACCURATE, TRUE, & TRUTHFUL" News. This Act Open Pandoras Box so NEWS could be come TABLOID in essence to make it HYPE centered and the Truth Twistable. There may be Some truth , but it is Skewered and twisted so bent you have to dig to find the SHREDS of it buried under mountains of Media HYPE to make it interesting! Read Your History "DUDE."

Carl Slocum whatever journey you want to take with this one. Im done talking to an idiot.
Feb 2, 2012
Jason Farrey Likewise, Jason, I usually abhor going into a battle of wits against an Unarmed person , But you were just so Easy.
Feb 2, 2012
Carl Slocum nah heh. Unimpressive response. Its just that im not gonna allow myself to think that you should be responsible what my children become inspired to, nor what I "should see" in the news. We all know that you just want news to be like youtube, where things are skewed to your self righteous opinion. So go to hell and give it a rest. (nods) Stop brainwashing the world into a lazy (of which people like you call medicinal and meditative), unproductive society of paranoid fools. Because lets face it, MTV is already glorifying teen pregnancy. I dont see you attacking that. Do I?
Unacceptable.
I watch Fox. So what are you gonna do about my choice to watch it? Go fuck yourself?
