Fox host calls Lego movie 'anti
On the heels of accusing 'The Muppets Movie' of brainwashing children into far-left ideology, Fox Business today denounced the new animated film 'The Lego Movie' for pushing an 'anti-business' message.
Charles Payne, on the Fox Business show 'Varney & Company,' suggested that the movie's character of Lord Business, a tyrranical CEO voiced by Will Ferrell, resembles Mitt Romney. Though Payne did not mention specifics, the onetime presidential candidate and the fictional Lego figurine both wear suits, and their square-shaped hair is graying at the temples. Although Romney was a practicing Mormon, Lord Business never specifies his religious denomination, if any.
Though 'The Lego Movie' is a roughly $65 million production that seems poised to further popularize the products of The Lego Group, a multinational corporation that generated $969 million in profit in 2012, Payne called it an example of 'Hollywood pushing its anti-business message to kids.' Co-host Monica Crowley asked, 'What is the purpose of trying to indoctrinate kids in a movie? I mean, I guess they believe this movie is going to make a lot of money, so no matter what, they can embed these kinds of anti-capitalist messages and get away with it.'
Payne said the movie 'smacks of hypocrisy. I think there's something wrong with it, for sure.'
In 2011, Fox Business featured Dan Gainor, of the Media Research Center, attacking 'The Muppet Movie,' whose villain was a heartless oil baron. 'It's amazing how far the left will go just to manipulate your kids, to convince them, give the anti-corporate message,' Gainor said.
