"This evil, evil man has now ruined a generation of kids."
That's how the folks of Fox and Friends once described Mister Rogers.
In a 2007 clip from the show, the show hosts go on a tirade claiming the man behind Mister Rogers Neighborhood managed to "discount" hard work by telling children that they were special, and have therefore "ruined" kids by making them entitled. Their bold commentary has resurfaced following the critically acclaimed release of Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Considering the positive impact that Rogers had on children who grew up watching his public television show, it's an amusing smear campaign to watch years later — and thankfully, it hasn't hurt his legacy one bit.
