The Muppets 1, Fox News 0
You may remember when Fox News accused the Muppets and their new movie of being “liberal” and “anti-capitalism” by having an oil tycoon as the villain. I didn’t mention it because it was pretty much the stupidest, most worthless thing ever said by a 24-hour news network. Well, the Muppets are busy promoting their movie premiere in England, and a reporter happened to ask Kermit and Miss Piggy about the incident.
FOX NEWS, YOU’VE JUST BEEN PIGGY’D. Still, thank god for Fox News for defending the honor of those poor, defenseless billionaire oil barons from those mean old puppets! (Via /Film)
