For years, at least until the post-innocent revelation of Eddie Murphy's "Mr Robinson's Neighborhood", this bolstered my faith in me and my common man/woman. However, the deep thinkers at Fox News, drawing upon comments by a Louisiana State University professor, now bring the shocking news that Mr Rogers --- more than the Soviets or the Chinese or the North Vietnamese even hippies --- planted the seeds for the downfall of America:

Who ARE you people?! You have got to be kidding!
But...I would expect something like this from FOX news.
We're just looking out for American youth.
Tomorrow: Enduring America joins the National Organization for Marriage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp76ly2_NoI) to expose how Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie promoted deviant lifestyles.
Of course FOX News would jump on this. Any opportunity to take a shot at a PBS program...
I'm going to look for a clip of the arms race episode ('83-'84-ish). I'll post it if I find it.
