We got them on the run. They are getting desperate.

constant fight to counter the brain washing of our kids from every corner

I suppose we can call or write to our local PBS stations and tell them the donations stop if this kind of crap is going on.

Imagine how groucy Oscar would be if he had to work to stay on the air and then had to pay 40% taxes on any income he managed to make.

Sesame Street has always been a creepy kids show. After all, Evil Bert hangs out with Osama Bin Laden.

I do not know of any conservatives that donate to PBS, because they have been projecting propaganda for years.

I think he was being ironic :-)

It’s ironic that Oscar the Grouch, the archetypical liberal (foul mood, surviving on trash, homeless), would be portrayed as watching Fox News. If the producers of Sesame Street were more interested in realism, they’d portray him as watching the fringe leftist cable shows that constantly harp on how rich white men are oppressing all the downtrodden minorities, yada, yada, yada, feeding Oscar’s resentment against “the man.”

[T Minus Four]

It’s the whole Bert and Ernie “roommate” thing that always had me all wee-wee’ed up.

[uncitizen]

this is sickening. my boy learned so much from Sesame Street. He was humming the SS tune before he could talk, but hell if i’ll ever let my grandchildren watch (if i ever get any that is!) :”-(

Your tax dollars at work. Your children at risk. Sesame Street costs $20 million per year to make and takes in over $100 million per year in merchandise sales. It also receives institutional and government money (28% of its revenue in 2007-2008). Not bad for a “non-profit.” Guess what? The rest of us pay the taxes that Sesame Street doesn’t.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Sesame Street has always been a marxist propaganda outlet.

[annieokie]

Not one dime from me EVER. They get govt funding, that's enough, their shows are not that great, only time you see something worth watching is during their Telethon, then it disappears.

[cripplecreek]

Taxpayer funded anti American indoctrination.

[Huskrrrr]

[thefactor]

this is a 2 year old episode? sesame street always was ahead of its time.

[Huskrrrr]

I would think this an opportunity for Fox Broadcast to feature some wholesome, conservative, children-oriented programming. Maybe even start a new cable channel for children’s programming that parents could feel safe with. Conservative households could then block the other channels.

As a kid growing up in the 70’s and early 80’s, I truly disliked Sesame Street. A 9 year old back then didn’t know the words “political correctness” but I always felt that something was wrong/weird with that show.
