Conservative slams Oscar the Grouch for criticizing Fox News
By John Byrne
Forget Tinky-Winky, or whatever his name was.
Meet Oscar the Grouch.
A conservative blogger at Andrew Breitbart's "Big Hollywood" website
-- the onetime right-hand man for conservative maven Matt Drudge -- is
now targeting Sesame Street for its "unfair" portrayal of Fox News as
"trashy news show."
Evidently, Oscar the Grouch's "GNN" is not trashy enough.
(Oscar, the furry green puppet, if you remember, lives in a trash
can.)
During a Sesame Street segment, Oscar finds himself interviewing a
puppet celebrity.
A crabby viewer calls in to rebuke him after one of his subjects
begins kissing him.
�I am changing the channel," the viewer crows.
"From now on I am watching �Pox� News. Now there is a trashy news
show.�
Breitbart's "Stage Right" blogger will have none of it -- even though
the episode was originally broadcast two years ago and only recently
re-aired.
"If Mom and Dad watch cable news, it�s better than 50/50 they watch
'POX News,'" the blogger pens.
"So what gives? PBS � a network partially funded with my tax dollars �
has the right to tell my kids that their parents watch �trashy� news?
"The message is clear," the blogger continues.
"I can�t even sit my kids in front of 'Sesame Street' without having
to worry about the Left attempting to undermine my authority. And
don�t tell me, 'If you don�t like it change the channel.' There are no
channels left! It�s everywhere. Just last week I had Obama�s service
and volunteerism promoted on every single major network, including
Disney and Nickelodeon."
Breitbart's blogger is even upset that Fox News stars don't get
kitschy nicknames.
"Later in the episode, Anderson Cooper from 4th place CNN, guest stars
as a reporter for GNN," notes the vexed Sesame-watcher.
"He interacts with 'Walter Cranky' and 'Dan Rather-Not' � Muppets
representing real-life liberal news personalities � and they talk
about 'Meredith Beware-a' and 'Diane Spoiler.' But no affectionate
nicknames for Fox News personalities; no Spill O�Reilly or Brittle
Hume � nope, and the only disparaging characterization of real-world
news is reserved for Fox: Fox is a POX. It is trashy. They didn�t even
attempt to try 'MessyNBC.'"
(Tinky-Winky, by the way, was a Teletubby singled out by evangelist
Jerry Falwell for carrying a purse and allegedly acting gay.)

So, let's see if I've got this straight.
PBS can ridicule FOX News.
FOX News is not allowed to defend itself.
That's quite a set of values you got there.

Of course Fox is allowed to answer charges against them. In fact I
welcome such responses from Fox because they are going to have to
defend trashy and obvious lies such as this one:

Why is it ridiculous? PBS is PUBLIC television, and receives federal
funding. Democrats were recently babbling about the need for a new
"fairness doctrine" for ALL broadcast stations, even those that are
privately owned. Therefore, if Sesame Street is going to poke fun at
Fox, it must be fair by poking fun at other news channels,
particularly MSNBC. Now there's a trashy news channel! (Sometimes I
can barely understand what Rachel Maddow is saying because her tongue
is stuck in Obama's buttocks or her mouth is full of his semen.)
Why PBS would even permit this is mystifying, since it (along with
NPR) have been the target of rightards for years for their supposedly
"liberal bias" (meaning they don't squawk the Republican party line
like Fox). As a fan of both PBS and NPR, I have never detected this
alleged bias, but this Sesame Street incident gives the Republicans
the ammunition they need to cut off funding.

They have done the same to CNN.

The President is doing everything he can to marginalize and
deligitimize FOX News. In three years, nobody will admit having voted
for Obama.

They did. They hit CNN.
Of course, if you listen to Hannity, Limbaugh or Beck, you'd never
know that. It's intentional. You're not meant to know.

The guys I saw on FNC laughed at it.
