What a difference those intervening years made! Back in 1990s, the conservative attacks were focused mostly on PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. “Sesame Street” was mostly safe from scorn and actively used to defend against GOP cuts to PBS https://t.co/0TyjSO23Fy https://t.co/yhIXWTuXif — PolitiTweet.org

One of the most interesting things I found in my research: a 1996 press release from CTW and Merck announcing a series of PSAs about the importance of vaccines. I couldn’t find any copies of the PSA online — but also couldn’t find any backlash. https://t.co/0TyjSO23Fy https://t.co/GodkCcfbYf — PolitiTweet.org

But since at least 2009, “Sesame Street” itself has been considered fair game from the right. Let’s not forget the time that Ben Shapiro joked that he wanted to “cap” Elmo and Big Bird https://t.co/0TyjSO23Fy https://t.co/s1TWiYC2IZ — PolitiTweet.org
