I called out Cheryl Phillips in the comments section of her post on examiner.com. I pointed her to conclusive evidence that Chick-fil-A actually did issue a recall of the Jim Henson toys on July 19th, as they have claimed all along. Faced with the realization that her entire premise was false, Cheryl simply decided to continue spreading the lie.

Apparently her idea of journalistic ethics is it's okay to libel someone as long as the victim ignores you while you do it. I disagree.

I know I'm not Buckhead and I know Cheryl Phillips isn't Dan Rather but this still isn't right. We shouldn't allow citizen journalists to knowingly spread a lie. Chick-fil-A deserves a retraction. I can't get it on my own but if enough FReepers call her out we might be able to call attention to the truth.

Jim Henson is an opportunist then. Chick Fil A did issue a recall of his toys and he retaliated. What a low rotten move on his part. He ought to be ashamed.

By the way, went to Mass tonight and afterward asked a friend to dinner at Chick Fil A. They had a little bit of a wait—were making everything fresh!

Please help spread the word that Chick-fil-A was telling the truth about the recall. Send a message to examiner.com, call out the author (@SquirrelChatter) on twitter, post the evidence on Facebook, etc.

Thanks.

I guess the recall explains why my youngest received a coupon for free ice cream, instead of a book or toy, with his kid’s meal this past week. Hey, Henson Co. - He was much happier with that than he would’ve been with a puppet.

On July 27, the fast-food chain posted on their Facebook page that they decided to remove the Jim Henson's Creature Shop Puppet Kids Meal toys from their kids meals on July 19, due to safety issues.

I always knew Bert and Ernie were still infectious.

Posted the following in response to a poster, then expanded it as a separate comment:
It’s one thing to tolerate what someone else does in the privacy of the home. But when the homosexual lobby wants total ACCEPTANCE of their perverted lifestyle, it’s way PAST TIME to draw the line. When y’all want to rub your perversions in our face, did you stop to think there might be some push-back? It’s time the homosexual two percent realized that the world doesn’t revolve around them and their lifestyle choices.

But, in point of fact, Mr. Cathy did NOT SAY ONE WORD ABOUT homosexual “marriage.” He stated that he believed in traditional marriage and nothing more. The “media,” led by CNN, IIRC, simply made up the story, as they are oft wont to do. And self-righteous jerks used those lies to attack a good man and his company.
