Kermit and Miss Piggy take a shot at Fox News for the network's comments about how the new Muppets film was pushing a dangerous liberal agenda.
On "Follow The Money" the discussion centers around how the movie gives an anti-corporate message and specifically an anti-oil message. The host raises the question whether "liberal Hollywood is using class warfare to brainwash" kids.
(To those more familiar with the Muppets and their parody, you might actually see how the Muppets anti-corporate pots shots were aimed at their owners - Disney.)
In the movie Tex Richman, played by Chris Cooper, is trying to foreclose on the Muppets' Los Angeles theater and studio so he can drill for the oil underneath.
During a press conference in the United Kingdom, reporters asked the green star about this. Kermit's response: "If we had a problem with oil companies, why would we have spent the entire film in a gas-guzzling Rolls-Royce?"
And Miss Piggy, in all of her subtlety, chimed in, "It's almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of being ... news."
