The Muppets film 'brainwashing children against rich'

[Jazzy]

The Muppets film has been branded an attempt by liberal Hollywood to brainwash children against the rich.



Eric Bolling, host of Fox's Follow the Money criticised the character of Tex Richman, the villain in the new The Muppets film.



Liberal Hollywood depicting a successful businessman as evil? That's not new, he said.



Bolling added he came from a poor background and his parents would point out wealthy individuals as aspirational ideals, not pointing the finger at Tex Richman and saying he's a bad guy.



Dan Gainor from the conservative Media Research Center took up the theme.

This is a Muppet movie, said Gainor. The only thing green that should be up there on that screen is Kermit the Frog.



Fellow Fox host Andrea Tantaros then also criticised Sesame Street, where The Muppets began. An episode of Sesame Street screened in October featured a family without enough money to buy food.

0_o The character of a corrupt, evil, rich guy is very stereotypical. Why start complaining now? :s
