I know it's kind of cliche and old to make fun of FOX News, but goddamn if they don't keep begging for it. If you haven't seen The Muppets yet, I highly recommend it. If not, then let FOX Business summarize it for you: Do I smell beef?  |

Yeah, fuck those kids who were brainwashed on Captain Planet! Saving the environment? Yeah, dream on you liberal hippy. Get those kids in 4x4's and consume, consume, consume. Tomorrow is someone else's problem, right?
Seriously, why would anyone, except a movie funded by Fox News and, I dunno, Mr Burns, portray oil barons as anything BUT corporate, greedy cut-throats? Do you think when these people are striking deals with shady future terrorists (cough, Blair, cough) they're thinking "hmmm, that sure will be a lot of ambulance's on the road now."
You know, I'm glad the majority of sensible people can stop and poke fun at Fox News. But the fact that a huge number of people rely on this as their view outside the window into the world, and don't question anything they're told on there, is just.. Jesus. Fucking frightening.

I know. Have you seen the film "Network"? Freakin' brilliant satire, and prophetic to boot.
By the way, FOX News hyped the shit out of this epic failure of a film about how badass and rebellious it is to be a soulless capitalist and that industrialists are the only reason we don't live in a poor people-run dystopia.
So you decide which is propaganda: puppets making jokes over the classic trope of villainous greed (while making fun of said trope repeatedly), or a blatantly manipulative conservative FANTASY where being a greedy rich person is equated with being fucking Che Guevara meets Han Solo or some other bullshit.
