VIDEO: Fox Business Network Maintains The Muppets Are Brainwashing Kids with "Class Warfare"

Chris Cooper

Is The Muppets movie teaching kids to hate the rich? Pundits on Fox Business Network think so.

Eric Bolling moderated a segment Sunday night, maintaining that the film's villain, Tex Richman, is a metaphor for the oil industry. "Liberal Hollywood depicting a successful business man as evil? That's not new," he said — making you wonder why they were even talking about it then — before inviting Dan Gainor from the Media Research Center to weigh in.

Gainor agreed the movie is indulging in "class warfare," adding: "Hollywood, the left, the media, they hate the oil industry ... so you'll see all these movies attacking it, whether it's Cars 2 ... Syriana, There Will Be Blood ... none of them reminding people what oil means for most people which is fuel to light a hospital or heat your home ... They don't want to tell you that story.

The story that Gainor didn't want to allude to was last year's Gulf of Mexico oil spill that killed 11 workers and thousands of animals and caused untold billions in damage.

2010's word of the year, TV fans: Spillcam

The segment included other guests such as correspondent Andrea Tantaros who added, "Why is being rich such a bad thing?"
