Kermit, Miss Piggy Respond to Fox News Criticisms (Video)
Kermit and Miss Piggy have responded to Fox News’ concerns that the new Muppets movie is “dangerous” and an example of “liberal Hollywood using class warfare to brainwash our kids.”
At a press conference following the UK premiere of The Muppets, the always-candid Kermit the Frog responded to criticisms from Follow the Money’s Eric Bolling with sarcasm. I’m pretty sure if Kermit had movable eyes, he would have been rolling them, too.
“Oh, it’s so dangerous,” the frog quipped.
The Muppets features Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the cloth puppet gang trying to raise money to save their theater from Tex Richman, a (human) businessman who plans to demolish the theater to drill for oil. In December, a Fox Business segment accused The Muppets of “brainwashing kids against capitalism.”
“It’s almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of being news,” Miss Piggy said.
When Kermit expressed concerns that Miss Piggy’s comments would go viral on the Internet, the porcine puppet responded, “If they take what I say seriously, they’ve got a real big problem.”

Amanda commented on Jan 30 12 at 10:13 amNote to Hollywood – conservatives watch movies too. Belittling an entire news organization that is popular among conservatives because of one critical comment from one commentator is ridiculous. If the people behind this silly movie think this is somehow cute or clever, they’re wrong.
Whatevs commented on Jan 30 12 at 10:40 amIf the people behind Fox “News” think they’re actually dealing in news, they’re wrong.
michelle commented on Jan 30 12 at 1:13 pmPlease. Conservatives are not going to stop watching Hollywood movies. People in Hollywood can say whatever they want and nothing will happen.
Manjari commented on Jan 30 12 at 2:24 pmI wouldn’t call it a news organization, Amanda.
bettywu commented on Jan 30 12 at 2:50 pmSure Amanda. Because the only thing Fox has gotten wrong or outright lied about is this. uh huh.
Amanda commented on Jan 31 12 at 12:13 pmI love how liberals get all worked up over the very existence Fox News without seeming to realize that almost all other news oranizations are on their side! Can’t conservatives have just one channel? You lefties have CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, Current TV, etc. Get over it already!
bunnytwenty commented on Jan 31 12 at 12:16 pmI see only one person getting worked up here – the rest of us are having a laugh. Nobody’s denying you the right to enjoy your favorite propaganda machine; we just reserve the right to mock it. relax, Amanda – it’s all going to be okay.
