- popzero, on 04/07/2009, -8/+515To be fair, there was that one time he opened the show singing "Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won't you be my bourgeois-hating working class soldiers in the proletarian revolution?"
- NaziHatinChimp, on 04/07/2009, -5/+474I hate to first comment my own story but just remember that Mr. Rogers testified in front of the Supreme Court on why it was ok for people to record and copy his program for their own use:
http://www.boingboing.net/2003/02/28/how-the-late- ...
"Second is the testimony of Fred Rogers, president of the corporation that produces and owns the copyright on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The program is carried by more public television stations than any other program. Its audience numbers over 3,000,000 families a day. He testified that he had absolutely no objection to home taping for noncommercial use and expressed the opinion that it is a real service to families to be able to record children's programs and to show them at appropriate times. " - itc518, on 04/07/2009, -18/+422What a bunch of ***** at Fox News, someone needs to give them all a "special" kick in the face.
- kakwakas, on 04/08/2009, -4/+335***** them. Mr. Rogers was a great man.
I believe that's all that needs to be said. - adirectsrc4gfts, on 04/07/2009, -4/+282Hum......... my kids grew up with Mr. Rogers and they are hard working highly functioning adults.
- sciencelovesyou, on 04/08/2009, -12/+275FOX you just hit a new low... and that's reeeeally saying something for you.
- graphictruth, on 04/07/2009, -11/+222When someone picks on your neighbor, a fella has to do something about it.
Blog Hard: NOW IT'S PERSONAL!! - oldcrow, on 04/07/2009, -12/+207This is pretty much everything you need to know about Fox right here. Every time I see something like this I think Fox has finally hit bottom, and every time they come out with something even more retarded and prove me wrong.
- teknomaker18, on 04/08/2009, -7/+189This is just proof they are running out of people to blame.
- Asianwaste, on 04/08/2009, -3/+167I'm not usually on the Fox news bashing crowd, but I gotta say that Fred Rogers had more integrity, elegance, and eloquence in his left pinky toe than all of Fox properties and personalities.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXEuEUQIP3Q - infopedestrian, on 04/08/2009, -6/+147so what do kids growing up watching fox and fox news become? stupid nazis.
- ConcernedCanuck, on 04/08/2009, -8/+133no, but Miley Cyrus is "ruining kids."
- nick700, on 04/08/2009, -3/+116First of all, Mr. Rogers was a Saint. Not even an argument.
Second, we should probably expect Fox to run a report about parents who put too much pressure on their kids to perform at the top of their class in school. - DaveBlaze, on 04/07/2009, -5/+106I think there are other factors at play here. I never recall hearing Mr. Rogers say it's ok to bum off your parents and not get a job. The professor in Louisiana and Fox News have it all wrong...it's not the first time and it wont be the last.
- Scrud, on 04/08/2009, -5/+89JCred, did you watch the clip? In no way was that woman being sarcastic. They went on blaming Mr. Rogers for 5 minutes, only mentioning the study a few times.
The viewer question was "Do you think that Mr. Rogers was a force for good or that he ruined a crop of our newest... our youngest generation?" Does that not sound like an "Op-Ed hit piece" to you.
This is just another instance of Fox News anchors saying how stupid they think the "younger" generation is. - aywwts4, on 04/08/2009, -2/+77I love how his generation is "hard working" when it is his age and financial demographic which was running the banks, flipping the paper, short selling, outsourcing, buying "investment houses" and deciding they owe nothing to the world while "earning and working hard" to amass ridiculous wealth while producing Nothing. Butter churning my ass, they are one of the most selfish demographics ever, Regan's little yuppie prodigies all grown up, now with power.
The funny thing is that I distinctly recall Mr Rodgers having regular spotlights on various professions and professionals, introducing children to a wide range of career options. I think almost every other show there was a segment on someone doing real work. - BossKey, on 04/08/2009, -3/+77Mr. Rogers telling you that you're special = evil
Television evangelist telling you that you were born a sinner = good
I wonder how much better America would be if we all took Fox News' advice and lowered our collective self-esteem?
In other news today: 4 Shot, 1 Dead at Korean Retreat Center (true) - VBTech, on 04/08/2009, -2/+76I'm actually wondering if The Onion has hired Fox to do this skit for them.
- LordBalderdash, on 04/08/2009, -2/+60uh. no. he didn't.
but it's a nice thought. - inactive, on 04/08/2009, -3/+52Son... when you step to Mr. Rogers, you step to *all* of us. Hope you've got your pads on.
- inactive, on 04/08/2009, -0/+48Seize the means of production! And the cookies!
- pagit, on 04/08/2009, -1/+48I wonder how many kids watched Mr Rogers and the only time they heard "your special" was from Mr Rogers and not their family.
- tsmallm, on 04/08/2009, -4/+49If Mr. Rogers is evil.......then what does that make Rush Limbaugh? or Glen Beck for that matter?
- inactive, on 04/08/2009, -1/+45Down with the oppressive King Friday!
- pagit, on 04/08/2009, -2/+43you tell a 5 year old "you aint special until you work harder"
Pus the demogrpahic for this Mr Rogers was 4-6 year olds
this sense of entitlement that some kids have these days isn't from Mr. Rogers its from their parents who lead by example.
If 50 % of us could be 50% of the man Fred Rogers was the world would be a better place, wouldn't it?
I hate how they are laughing almost mocking Fred Rogers
show some love - mdoom, on 04/08/2009, -5/+45@JCred, ugh...you sound like the product of years of Fox News. my faith in humanity just dropped a little
- Pyehole, on 04/08/2009, -5/+44Really, Fox?
- inactive, on 04/08/2009, -4/+42Fox news think it "special" and by "special" i mean "retarded"
Ever since Obama got elected Fox news lost all the marbles they had...if they had any. - Ninh, on 04/07/2009, -2/+39I guess they think they are special.
- Tarantulus, on 04/08/2009, -7/+43I'd "Ruin" her, all night long...
- Shatterpoint, on 04/08/2009, -35/+67If anything, Mr. Rogers was strictly anti-Communist.
He fought in 'Nam and had the tattoos to prove it... that's why he wore the sweaters. - MooseOfReason, on 04/08/2009, -0/+31Needs more exclamation marks.
- inactive, on 04/08/2009, -1/+32it's wrong to beat the mildly retarded
- ad788, on 04/08/2009, -0/+30http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/fredrogers/a/mr_r ...
- SD70MACMAN, on 04/08/2009, -3/+32I couldn't listen past 1:25 or so. Makes me want to strangle them. Especially when the woman laughs while calling Mr. Rogers evil.
- inactive, on 04/08/2009, -1/+30Every year, I think to myself "Okay, that's it, teeny bopper music can't possibly get any worse," and every year, Disney has to go and prove me wrong.
- FredSpeaking, on 04/08/2009, -1/+28NOW THEY'VE CROSSED THE ***** LINE!
- inactive, on 04/08/2009, -3/+29Honestly, the conversation level of Fox and Friends is really at a sub-par intelligence level. They really are shooting for the bottom of the barrel viewers, intellectually speaking. They even look mildly retarded:
http://www.foxnews.com/i/new/header_12.jpg - Trollemite, on 04/08/2009, -3/+29So let me get this straight. They are blaming a 30 minute TV show for being a poor role model to today's young people, but don't mention the other 23 hours and 30 minutes of the day where the parents are being poor role models? I guess that's too hard for these people to swallow so it's BLAME MR. ROGERS THE EVIL BASTARD! Wow, seriously....
- Disgod, on 04/08/2009, -1/+26Sadly the stories about his military career are not true. I actually had to look it up to see, but he was never in the military, but it doesn't detract from the kindness and compassion he had.
http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/fredrogers/a/mr_r ... - overridemymind, on 04/08/2009, -1/+24I really hope the guy above me is being sarcastic, because if he isn't -- wow. It's just proof positive that an increasing number of individuals will believe any ***** the media spews. *sigh*
On second thought... the guy HAD to have been being sarcastic... right? Right? - FurtThePirate, on 04/08/2009, -2/+25Yeah, they do that every couple of days.
- phoggey, on 04/08/2009, -3/+25Thanks for submitting a story that's nearly 2 years old. Fox retracted their statement years ago as well, when the "first outrage" came.
Original article:
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/07/06/fox-news-%e2%8 ...
Fox retraction THE NEXT DAY:
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/07/07/rogers-retract ...
I was as upset as the next guy, mister rogers was awesome, but bringing up old news like this is just deceiving and in bad taste. Mister Rogers wouldn't like you to keep bringing up stuff in his memory to drudge up hate. He would ask you to forgive them and move on. Did you really appreciate Mister Rogers?
Congratz on achieving the exact opposite of your supposed objective. - MooseOfReason, on 04/08/2009, -0/+22Sorry, I don't know what you're saying. Do you have a lisp?
- Disgod, on 04/08/2009, -2/+24Mildly? I think you chose the wrong adjective.
Better adjective choices would be: Severely, debilitatingly, amazingly, tragically, amazingly, disturbingly etc. etc. - yacks, on 04/08/2009, -3/+24The problem isn't Mr. Rogers, it's parents not raising their kids to know better.. and it doesn't help that we shield our kids from the real life and protect them in their own little bubbles.. I remember when I'd walk a mile to school by myself with a few other kids.. nowadays parents drive their kids to school even if it's a block away.
- inactive, on 04/08/2009, -2/+23I remember this. Remember when they did a hit piece on Vonnegut for his obituary:

However, I really hate fox news, but I must say, this was a university study.
For the most part only that one dude was agreeing with it, and the other guy was disagreeing the whole time. (who knows their names) So really this wasn't Fox calling Mr. Rogers evil, it was one dumbass on Fox calling him that, but we all know Fox has some dumbasses. - SpoonMSU, on 04/08/2009, -0/+19Dugg for obvious sarcasm. Right?
