This article was so interesting to me. I had seen this parody several times and thought it was pretty clever, but never did I notice the mention of "Pox News."
But I'm glad that other people are noticing the liberal slant to Sesame Street. I'm very careful when I let my kids watch now. The vast majority of the content is innocuous, but one episode of Elmo's World really bothers me. The episode has Dorothy thinking about families and during the musical montage after this announcement, they clearly show two men holding a baby. The men are obviously not related (one looks Filipino, the other is black), so the excuse of grandpa/uncle doesn't work. Plus, the baby doesn't really look like either of them. Now, while I try to not judge the homosexual lifestyle, I do take issue with homosexuality being introduced to toddlers and preschoolers. I don't like any sort of sexual material being introduced to my children -- not this young and not by someone other than their parents.
Please, Sesame Street, stick to teaching letters, numbers, rhyming, reading, and sharing. Leave the less concrete and academic stuff to the parents.
