Puke-worthy, but not at all surprising. Nickelodeon is owned by Viacom and this isn’t the first post on the network supporting the left. It’s also been running global warming and “go green” ads for a while.
After an unprecedented 2.2 million people voted in Nick’s online election for kids, the network figured there was interest among its audience in Barack Obama’s inauguration. Its young reporters, J.J. and Lily Collins, will be in Washington for the Jan. 20 event.
The reporters will try to offer some historical perspective for its young viewers, and will show clips of Obama’s first speech as president.
“This, kids, will be the first time in history that an inexperienced Chicago Democrat that associated himself with terrorists and anti-American pastors for decades will be sworn-in”. I have an odd feeling that that’s not the “historical perspective” they’ll be offering, though.
