She’s one pig you don’t want to mess with: Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog have responded to Fox News’ attack on their movie The Muppets.

A host on the American news channel blasted the movie for its “dangerous liberal agenda,” with Fox Business host Eric Bolling calling the movie anti-oil.

“That’s categorically untrue. If we had a problem with oil companies, why would we have spend the entire film driving around in a gas-guzzling Rolls Royce ,” Kermit said at a press conference in London.

“It’s almost as laughable as accusing Fox News as being news,” Miss Piggy added.

“That’s going to be all over the Internet!” Kermit laughed.
