The Muppets Fire Back at Fox News [VIDEO]
At a press conference for the U.K. premiere of ‘The Muppets,’ Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy poked fun at Fox Business host Eric Bolling for his assertion that the movie is pushing a dangerous Communist agenda.
In December, Bolling argued that the new Muppet flick teaches “class warfare” and is brainwashing children with a leftist anti-oil stance. “Where are we,” he asked, “Communist China?”
Missy Piggy, however, quickly dismissed the comment by taking a swipe at Fox itself. “It’s almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of being news,” she said.
What do you think? Are the Muppets trying to control the minds of children?
