** A radio show in Pittsburgh made fun of [http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/06/bronies-my-little-ponys/ this] wired.com article about the fans. Another radio show also lambasted the show and its fans, at one point claiming it was causing the decline of society. Not long after, a TV "news" team followed up a report of a man filing for government unemployment benefits because he was too busy with some fandom he was in to get a job... with a brief blurb about bronies that heavily implied that they do the same thing.
*** One such radio show ("[[True Capitalist]] Radio", hosted by a fella under the alias "Ghost") has since become a frequent target of internet troll raids due to Ghost's tendency to do [[Homestuck|acrobatic pirouettes off the handle]] in reaction to just about anything that draws his ire.
** [[NPRNational Public Radio]]'s ''[[Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!|Wait Wait Don't Tell Me]]'' and ''Redeye'' (A [[Fox News]] opinion program) also poked fun at the fans, but were considerably gentler about it. The latter asked "how ashamed" bronies should feel, and one of the guests did imply that bronies were drug users.
*** On the other hand, ''In Living Glover'' stated the above-mentioned baseless idea that bronies are taking disability because they like My Little Pony too much to actually work as fact.
* [[Contested Sequel]]: Season 2. Over ''half'' of the episodes that aired so far (out of the total number of episodes proposed) have caused a major debate.
