Fox News slanders the nicest, sweetest, most gentle man that ever walked the planet

Now I've got an image of Mr. Rogers wearing nothing but a cardigan and sneakers.

I find myself wondering about the pigmentation of his genitalia

Yes, but NPR gets a pass because they meet their "progressive" story quota early every month

On the other hand, I agree that the whole culture of "everybody is special, everybody wins, everybody blah blah blah" isn't a good thing. One of the things that bothers me most about society today is the entitlement complex that so many people have, and I agree that that complex comes from teaching kids that they're all special little angels no matter what they do and that they all deserve to be treated special. But I don't believe that Mr Rogers is to blame for that at all. I grew up watching him (and Sesame Street) and they helped me feel confident, but not like some little Prince.

Terrible reporting there, but not completely off about some points, in my opinion.

Thanks Jazz, that pretty much sums it up for me.
