My "WTF?" of the day, Eric Bolling at Faux "news" calls Sesame Street "communist."

I guess the show is simply over his head.

Fox's Eric Bolling Calls Sesame Street A "Left-Wing Communist Diatribe"

JUAN WILLIAMS (CO-HOST): Alright, so the 46th season of Sesame Street starts Saturday, but not on PBS. This time, it's on HBO, there are gonna big changes for Oscar, Big Bird and Cookie Monster. Now you can get the show on mobile devices, it's only going to be half an hour, not an hour, and fewer characters. Also, guess what? Cookie Monster, better diet, maybe some vegan food.

ERIC BOLLING (CO-HOST): Are they gonna move away from the left-wing communist --

WILLIAMS: Communist?

BOLLING: Communist diatribe they put out every single day?

WILLIAMS: I don't know about that.

Anything that actually tries to educate and provide a public service is evil to them.

Starting this season it looks like. New episodes there to air on PBS 9 months later. Regardless, Seasame Street has been the face of PBS and quality free educational children's programming for decades. It's a symbol that many on the right despise.
