Regardless, it is good stuff.
Not sure about "faux news" (whatever that is; haven't heard of that station) but when you look at some actual data, you realize that Fox News is very fair.
For instance,

2008 Presidential Election Coverage

Fox News
40% of McCain stories were negative
40% of Obama stories were negative

Compare with another "news" station which shall remain nameless:

73% of McCain stories were negative
14% of Obama stories were negative

Fox continues to win the ratings war. Funny how no matter how many libs knock it online it remains Number One.

That's why the left attacks Fox News... because it doesn't lean left. How "horrible" to have a news station that isn't obviously leftist!

That's what passes for hard news to the left. The muppets are just more honest about being puppets than the talking heads on MSNBC and CNN.

If y'all turn a thread about wisecracking puppets into a 20 page political argument I will LMAO for days.

I am convinced I could start a thread about clothes dryer lint and someone would find a way to brawl.

Ahh, but we aren't and we won't. This thread is not mainly about the Muppets. It's about the context in which the OP used them. The OP has a message which is beyond these cute little critters.

So what? They're puppets telling jokes. Who cares if there is an agenda with the OP?

I could post crayon drawn stick figures and label one "*******" and the other "repug". Would y'all fight over that too?

Puppets people. Funny puppets. Hand stuck up a piece of felt trying to get yuk yuks. LOL

But have at it. Whatever makes folks happy I suppose. It just struck me as funny.
