It’s no secret that the once-beloved children’s program Sesame Street has now become the consummate preschool-targeted vehicle for some of the left’s most toxic ideologies, the latest being climate change. And the green cult over at The New York Times is all here for it.
On Wednesday, Times climate reporter David Gelles was just tickle-me-Elmo’ed over a recent Sesame Street episode that was rife with Al Gore-ian undertones, declared his admiration from the get-go with the headline for his item: “Extreme Weather Brings Fierce Winds, and Gentle Hugs, to Sesame Street.”
Gelles exploited the clear, juvenile political propaganda to foment the run-of-the-mill apocalypto scare porn: “No place is safe from climate change these days. Not even Sesame Street, where sunny days used to sweep the clouds away.” Talk about flipping a Big Bird to readers’ intelligence.
