Muppets defend their political views

A cash-strapped council has scored an own goal by taking tenants to see the new Muppets film to "help them with money issues", according to the Sun and Telegraph. Muppets. Meanwhile, the Muppets themselves have hit back at criticism by Fox News that they are pushing a communist political agenda. At a London press conference – yes, really – Kermit said: "That's categorically not true. And besides, if we had a problem with oil companies, why would we have spent the entire film driving around in a gas-guzzling Rolls-Royce?" Miss Piggy added: "It's almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of, you know, being news." She neglected to add a "hi-ya!".
