It is sad that Nickelodeon is too stupid to realize how big of a backlash this will cause. Time to get in high gear folks! Just wait till Bill O’Reilly rants on this one! Nickelodean will soon be backpedaling on this leftist propaganda.
Army Wife Toddler Mom has the best summary on this, but you really just have to see it for yourself.
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.

Linda freakin' Ellerbee???
October 31, 2007 - 21:24 ET by UnsaneLinda Ellerbee is now working for Nickelodeon?
I guess she officially ran out of networks on her Alphabet Soup tour that began in the mid-1980s. How the mighty have fallen...and so it goes.
This would be funny if the Leftist propaganda aimed at little ones was not so foul.

Linda Ellerbee has been on Nick Jr.
October 31, 2007 - 22:18 ET by Scout FinchFor about the past ten years or so. She's been preaching her version of liberalism to children in a news program called Nick News.
This new show, er, clearly takes it to a new level. I agree with above poster---it's rather like mental child abuse.
You think Linda may do a feature on motivated and vocal young Republicans? Yeah, right!
Well...
November 3, 2007 - 03:12 ET by UnsaneWell...
...that just goes to show how much I view Nickelodeon. Maybe that's not such a bad thing...

Going to give them a piece of my mind but...
October 31, 2007 - 22:37 ET by RiharBefore I write them about their Lil' Brainwashing Factory I thought I'd look at their message boards to see what the kids who were watching this tripe were thinking. Remember in the video where Linda said "people think kids just don't care" well, she was right the first time. I saw nuthin' regarding her America hating video. They were talking about the cartoons (speaking of which, how can I get some Danger Mouse dvds?) and as well they should.
Linda, when I want my kids to be propagandized I'll let you know. Until then, quit yer yappin'!
When a liberal speaks, the truth is busy elsewhere.
Danger Mouse
November 20, 2007 - 12:47 ET by Doraemon_OReillySpeaking of Danger Mouse, you can get DVDs of this classic British cartoon on Amazon.com and Best Buy.
P.S. Did you know the character Stiletto (the crow) originally had an Italian accent, but they changed it to a Cockney accent in America so it would not offend Italian-Americans? His Italian accent is restored on the DVDs.

Ellerby is a vile and
October 31, 2007 - 21:44 ET by Trix RabbitEllerby is a vile and loathsome creature. There is nothing one can say in response to such a complete abandonment of reason, except to point out that liberalism is creating a culture in which the highest expression of pride is the defense of those who would and will turn these children into soap or lampshades.

Well, all I can say is that Bush had better hurry if he's going to end democracy. He doesn't have much longer in office. Libs have been telling us that democracy is doomed ever since W moved in to the WH. They are also fond of telling us about how his policies are such a danger free speech. However, they're still talkin', and people are still votin'.
Where do these lefty moonbats come up with this stuff?!?
Nothing New
November 1, 2007 - 00:44 ET by Del DolemontePrevious attempts by teevee to "educate" the Rug Rats of America include:
1. Ted Turner's "Captain Planet" series
and more recently:
2. PBS's "Liberty's Kids", which tells gullible kids of college instructors that if they want to grow up and be reporters, their primary goal is to be against the government they cover. Wal-Tor Cronkite does the voice of Ben Franklin, to add insult to injury.
