Nutcase Eric Bolling, on his Fox Business Network program "Follow the
Money" (he's also one of "The Five" on the FNC show that replaced
Lonesome Rhodes Beck) and a rep from the Media Research Center laid
waste to "The Muppets" because the villain Tex Richman (played by
Chris Cooper) who wants to demolish the Muppet Theater is identified
as an oil magnate (with no further description of his oil business
made):

This gave Bolling and his guest an excuse to attack Nickelodeon's
ecological portions of their ongoing "Big Help" campaign, the cartoon
character Captain Planet ("originated by R.E. 'Ted' Turner") and the
20th-Century Fox-distributed film "The Day After Tomorrow."  Hey guys,
hear that?  Twentieth-Century Fox?  What does it say at the bottom of
their logo?  And doesn't that logo look familiar, especially the last
name of the company?

Oh, that's right--when Fox Broadcasting tried to put on that "O.J.:
If I Did It" special, Billo took pains to point out that Fox
Broadcasting and Fox News were two separate divisions that didn't have
anything to do with each other.  Guess he's never heard of Rupert
Murdoch.
