EDIT: Woohoo! 37K hits? Thanks, folks! What are the odds we can make it to 50K?

After Fox News anchor Eric Bolling went after the Muppets for supposedly trying to brainwash kids with anti-capitalist messages, he tried to defend himself against the onslaught of media criticism. The truth, though, is that his segment was a perfect example of Fox News "debate" tactics.
The hosts jumped from on subject to another, apparently weaving together a conspiracy when they were just lacking a focused argument. Their assertion that the villain in The Muppets was an attack on capitalism also fell flat because it relied on a one-dimensional analysis and a truly awful grasp of a little literary technique called "characterization."
