The beloved children’s TV show, Sesame Street has its 40th Anniversary this month and they have been rerunning episodes and skits to celebrate that event. After this piece aired, wingnuts got their whine on,complaining that PBS was specifically trying to brainwash the kids:

Now these wingnuts have just discovered this piece, even though it is two years old or so. And does anyone else wonder how they could start whinging over POX News, but not GNN? A fair look at this skit shows that Sesame Street is is tweaking cable news competition more than anything and only the grownups in the room would even get the play on networks. And I wonder if there was any pushback from these nuts when FOX Noise decided that Mr. Rogers was evil.
With all that is wrong in the world, we not have conservatives whining that even Seasme Street doesn’t meet with their remarkably bitter and small world view.
