Default CNN exposes heinous lies and distortions by...Saturday Night Live?

Can anyone remember the last time CNN did fact checking on a Saturday Night Live skit? I'm thinking that this might actually be the first time in the recorded history of television that a major news organization took the time to point out inaccuracies in a comedy program.

Although I didn't like the guy who plays Obama in that skit; the black dude that they had playing Obama last year did a much better job, that skit was right on.

In regards to the OP: just think, if the media had done this last year, Sarah Palin might be our Vice President right now. Since if CNN had done this type of fact-checking, then they would have known that Palin never said that she could see Russia from her house. Tina Fey said it.

Oh Miss Karma, you can be such a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)...!

I watched it too. I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe Obama needs to stop wearing the skirt and start wearing some slacks instead. CNN couldn't stop laughing at Tina Fey's Palin. Their unfair and unbalanced approach to the news is killing their network. No wonder Fox is killing them.
