So I also found this:
https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/05/sesame-street-used-spread-secret-political-messages-insiders-admit/351222/

From what I see, these are the claims made:

Shapiro quotes Mike Dann, one of the show's founding executives, saying it "was not made for the sophisticated or the middle class." Early episodes featured the character Grover breaking bread with a hippie. Oscar, who lived in a rubbish bin, was supposed to address "conflicts arising from racial and ethnic diversity." Dann also told Shapiro he used the program in the wake of 9/11 to highlight how there were peaceful alternatives to war. Shameful! Criminal, even! In fairness to Shapiro, however, Sesame Street was criticized in the past for having an anti-right agenda in 2009, when it mockingly referred to Americas Fox News channel as "Pox News."


the only thing in there that even remotely supports SS being "leftist propaganda" is the bit about "Pox news", which is debatable.
