Sesame Street Bashes Fox News As A “Trashy News Show”
Your tax dollars hard at work:
Last week, in a re-broadcast of an episode that originally aired two years ago, Oscar starts his own news network, GNN (Grouchy News Network). An irate viewer calls in to berate him that the news is not grouchy enough:
“I am changing the channel. From now on I am watching ‘Pox’ News. Now there is a trashy news show.”
Besides the fact that Sesame Street is a kids show and should leave politics alone, the show and public broadcasting in general is heavily subsidized by taxpayer dollars and so should be ideologically neutral.
But it isn’t. As anyone who has ever listened to a few minutes of NPR knows.
