oscar Conservative slams Oscar the Grouch for criticizing Fox NewsForget
Tinky-Winky, or whatever his name was. Meet Oscar the Grouch.

A conservative blogger at Andrew Breitbart's "Big Hollywood" website --
the onetime right-hand man for conservative maven Matt Drudge -- is now
targeting Sesame Street for its "unfair" portrayal of Fox News as "trashy
news show."

Evidently, Oscar the Grouch's "GNN" is not trashy enough. (Oscar, the
furry green puppet, if you remember, lives in a trash can.)

During a Sesame Street segment, Oscar finds himself interviewing a puppet
celebrity. A crabby viewer calls in to rebuke him after one of his
subjects begins kissing him.

“I am changing the channel," the viewer crows. "From now on I am
watching
‘Pox’ News. Now there is a trashy news show.�

Breitbart's "Stage Right" blogger will have none of it -- even though the
episode was originally broadcast two years ago and only recently re-aired.

"If Mom and Dad watch cable news, it’s better than 50/50 they watch 'POX
News,'" the blogger pens. "So what gives? PBS — a network partially
funded with my tax dollars — has the right to tell my kids that their
parents watch “trashy� news?

"The message is clear," the blogger continues. "I can’t even sit my
kids
in front of 'Sesame Street' without having to worry about the Left
attempting to undermine my authority. And don’t tell me, 'If you don’t
like it change the channel.' There are no channels left! It’s everywhere.
Just last week I had Obama’s service and volunteerism promoted on every
single major network, including Disney and Nickelodeon."

Breitbart's blogger is even upset that Fox News stars don't get kitschy
nicknames.

"Later in the episode, Anderson Cooper from 4th place CNN, guest stars as
a reporter for GNN," notes the vexed Sesame-watcher. "He interacts with
'Walter Cranky' and 'Dan Rather-Not' — Muppets representing real-life
liberal news personalities — and they talk about 'Meredith Beware-a' and
'Diane Spoiler.' But no affectionate nicknames for Fox News
personalities; no Spill O’Reilly or Brittle Hume — nope, and the only
disparaging characterization of real-world news is reserved for Fox: Fox
is a POX. It is trashy. They didn’t even attempt to try 'MessyNBC.'"

We'll let you be the judge.
