Linda Ellerbee is the host, that should be enough said. Pay particular attention to the second and fourth stories.
This Nickelodeon "news program", is not a news program. It is a leftist primer on how to be a "left-wing radical REBEL". I am not a blind follower of our Government, and I also think that Government should be watched by it's citizens. It is our civic duty. However this program led by Ellerby, is anti-war, anti- GWOT, anti-military. This "news program" is not about people changing the World around them. Ms. Ellerby uses leftist propaganda buzz words like "taking on the establishment".
She shows a group of "tweenagers" walking around in orange jumpsuits, hooded and yelling from a bullhorn. "We are not ok, with people being tortured by American soldiers!" "Are cooperation's priority over human lives?"
There is also a call for the impeachment of the President in the second segment of the video, "democracy is at stake because of the President violating the Constitution".
The fourth segment of video shows another tweenager, who has put together a video of wounded Iraqi children, with the song Jesus Loves Me playing over it. This teenager blames America, the military, for what is happening in Iraq. This young girl says "she finds, videos and facts on the Internet" to show what is REALLY happening in Iraq. I am guessing she is getting these images from Al Jazeera.
Nickelodeon is the new training ground for leftist propaganda. Amazing. You really must watch this video.

My guess is, you will no longer want your children watching Nickelodeon. I am also guessing Nickelodeon paying sponsers eg: of 2 I saw while watching this clip Nerf gun. Hey Nerf, Nickelodeon thinks guns are evil. Oh and The Little Pet Shop, which we all know Nickelodeon thinks is a sort of animal factory, (not caring of animal's needs, only out to make a buck out of mass breeding of cats and dogs, only to be euthanized later) might want to hear from you the consumer of children's toys.
UPDATE: spoke with Hasbro, and they are shocked that this was childrens programming. We will see what they do with the advertisements...

Shouldn't there be a right to satire in a democratic society?

Who cares, seriously? Why are you so afraid of people who want to fight the establishment? If the urge to resist the status quo causes you to suddenly go apeshit, then maybe you should examine the psychology behind such a reaction, you might learn something about yourself and the establishment.
Why is the establishment so afraid of discontents and infidels?

hmmm its seems a litle bit shady a report like that on a kids tv channel..the clip in its self did seam very propaganda like...in its choice of wordings and timing...it also seems very similar to other known propaganda type media.
Well i guess its better than having them see, girls gone wild ads at 5 am. As much as i wish that a story would show the other side to that story, and the fact that they make WAY MORE MONEY, working in a factory, compared to someone working in a mine, or in the fields. i mean big surprise that liberal media is getting to your children. buy i guess the question you have to ask is... have i prepared my child to receive information like this? are they going to be able to see propaganda and understand that a string of heavily bi es fasts is not the only truth?

So let's get this right, children under the age of 18 should know damn well where they stand on complex social and political issues, as well as weather or not they believe in God. But, deciding something as simple as who they allow to touch their bodies is forbidden until they reach the magical age of 18. Makes sense.
How dare that woman teach our kids to protest child labor and senseless wars?
lol

I remember this sht when I was a preteen. I am surprised this bitch is still alive. I never watched it, though, as I prefered Rugrats over it. Seriously, it is boring as fuck and only shows things like kids protesting and building houses and such.
Huh? Why the fuck not? Because Nickelodeon should only air shows that teach them nothing about moral relativism and and ethics in a time where no one practices either as an ideal?

for the same reason you wouldn't want you kid to watch a show that teaches them racial hygiene
if they want it to be an educational show must offer a balanced view but right now it's as educational as a lobotomy
What the fuck does that have to do with stopping child labor educating kids about the immoral acts of their own society? Stop inventing shitty analogies to prop up your knee-jerk world view. Unless this lady is telling these kids something immoral or 100% wrong, then you should shut the fuck up. She didn't say anything that wasn't true.
Wrong again, you stupid fuck. Unless you can find fault with what this bitch is saying then you need to stop gaying up these forums with your pathetic fag wailings.

People like you are nothing more than flamboyant fucktards who need to be gassed off of this planet.
I sure hope that the government can bring up charges for treason. The makers of this show would have dissapeared back in the seventies. I find that people who preach foolish ideas such as anarchy through soft-minded children should also be brought up on charges of manipulation. Does anybody agree?

Why!? Why not create a show that depicts the evils of a jihad, a jihad that kills so many innocents. Well, why not start a Crusade, I am ready.
