CNN "Fact Checks" SNL

**tripleblack** · 10-07-2009

No really, this is NOT a joke, CNN, the stalwart upholder of the finest traditions in professional journalism (or at least, so they tell us), has devoted a great deal of effort to fact-checking Saturday Night Live's parody of President Obama.

LOL, this is truly surreal.

And you know what? They are pretty sure that SNL was not ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE during the hilarious skit they created...

ROTFL, does CNN not KNOW what a "parody" IS?

This is truly bizarre. And funny! Maybe funnier than SNL ever was...

Does anyone remember the CNN fact checking piece which followed the various ocassions when SNL lampooned Bush? No?

Huh.

Must have been because that never happened.

CNN, guys, pull up your trousers, OK? This stark naked revelation is pure pornography.

The best part is that they were accurate.

That was simply hilarious. SNL no less.

Next thing you know, NBC will be fact checking Bill Maher and realizing that he's more accurate than THEY are.

That was pretty good. And yes they were accurate.

SNL has skewered every President since '75. Chevy Chase on Ford, Ackroyd on Nixon & Carter, etc. This must be hitting a nerve. I saw the clip; it was funny to me. How it went over with the Liberals..... ask Joe the Plumber how his audit went.

CNN fact-checking SNL is no more surreal that Rep. Wilson yelling "You Lie" to a room full of liars and everyone in the room knew who he was talking about.
