[Fox Business blasts The Muppets for brainwashing America's kids with anti-corporate, liberal agenda (2011/12/07)]
"What's actually going on here?" Bolling asked commentator Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center. "Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to brainwash our kids?"
"Yes, absolutely, and they've been doing it for decades," replied Gainor. "Hollywood, the Left, the media, they hate the oil industry. They hate corporate America."
Gainor later added, "It's amazing how far the left will go just to stoop, to manipulate your kids, to convince them, to give [them] an anti-corporate message."

Kermit & Miss PiggyによるFox Newsへの反撃：
[The Muppets Attack Fox News (2012/01/26)]
[Reporter] Question for Kermit.
[Kermit] Ya
[Reporter] Everybody who has seen the film loves it
[Kermit] Ya
[Reporter] It’s suitable for kids, it’s suitable for parents.
[Kermit] Great
[Reporter] But I’m gonna ask you how you felt when Eric Bolling from Fox New said it was pushing a dangerous Liberal agenda trying to brainwash children.
[Reporter](inaudible) horrible.
[Kermit] Oh ya – it’s so dangerous – I’m so afraid. Nah – it’s a funny thing. They were concerned about us having some prejudice against oil companies. And I can tell you that’s categorically not true. And besides, if we had a problem with oil companies, why would we have spent the entire film driving around in a gas-guzzling Rolls Royce?
[James Bobins] He’s got a point.
[Miss Piggy] It’s almost as laughable as accusing Fox News as, you know, being news.
[Kermit] Boy, that’s gonna be all over the Internet. You are in such deep water.
[Miss Piggy] Yeah. Yeah, if they take what I say seriously, they’ve got a real big problem.
[Kermit] Wow!
