In a previous posting I mentioned reported on a recent poll finding viewers of Fox News to be less informed and more likely to be given false information.
During last weeks program, “Follow the Money,” commentator Eric Bolling rolled back the clocks to the Cold War when he proclaimed that the new "Muppets" movie was the latest in Hollywood’s supposed liberal-agenda. Joined by Dan Gainor from the conservative Media Research Center, things got pretty interesting.
"It's amazing how far the left will go just to manipulate your kids, to convince them, give the anti-corporate message," said Gainor. "They've been doing it for decades. Hollywood, the left, the media, they hate the oil industry." He continued giving more examples, including Oscar winners “Syriana” and “There Will Be Blood,” and of all things, the kids movie “Cars 2.”
All of this “liberal-media” steam blowing stemmed from the fact that the textbook kids movie bad guy’s name is Tex Richman, an oil baron out to destroy the Muppet’s theater. But despite the fact that there is no mention what-so-ever of big oil companies, environmentalism or anything else above the comprehension of toddlers and young kids, the blowhards from Fox News will find anything that they think smells remotely of a liberal-agenda in the most random of places.
