It turns out the Fox News can't take being teased by discarded rug samples. The thugs at The Children's Television Network
have hit a chord.

The Daily News and Andrew Breitbart are all up in arms over a two year old bit that re-aired on Sesame Street last week. Oscar the Grouch's girlfriend complains about his call-in radio show saying something to the effect of "I'll watch POX news for real trash." OOOOOooooh.. the Muppets are gonna get it!

Now Sesame Street has apologized, not even mentioning that Oscar works for the Grouch News Network. Anderson Cooper even shows up as a correspondent. Breitbart goes on to berate the NEA, volunteerism and, of course, gay Teletubbies. He fights that his children are being told his news network of choice is TRASHY! In this age of op-news this is a ridiculous as a Yankee fan being offended by the Mitchell Report.

Never mentioned is the fact that Sesame Street has done more to educate our children than any right wing education law in the last 40 years.  Never mentioned is that Sesame Street has always been one of the most acceptance based television shows in 40 years. Never mentioned is that Fox News has worked in tape of  bikini-clad women into Mexican Drug Lord War segments, has made the Carrie Prejeans sex tape acceptable and lets not forget how they trashed Ashlee Simpson for getting knocked up then lionized Bristol Palin. Fox News LOVES TRASH- anything dirty or dingy or dusty. As long as it doesn't effect their team, anything goes.

C'mon guys before attacking Sesame Street perhaps Andrew Browbeat, Bitter Humme and Sean Hammy should ask themselves one question:

Whose hand is up MY tuckus?
