Tired of MSNBC promotion of SNL

[Bill McBlueState]

Is anyone else getting tired of MSNBC's breathless coverage of what happened on Saturday Night Live? I don't think they're fooling anyone -- it's clearly a commercial for their network partner, but they act like it's a legitimate story every Sunday morning.

1. Aww... someone didn't like SNL's skit about Obama's 3am call to Hillary from the White House?

[Bill McBlueState]

7. wow

I must have the opinion I do because they criticized candidate X while I like candidate Y? I honestly couldn't even tell whether they were more critical of Obama than Clinton. Since I don't like the coverage, I'm not really motivated to pay attention to the sketch.

But this is GDP; every opinion must be a covert expression of one's candidate preference. :eyes:

10. poor DittoHeads. no sense of humor.

it's only comedy.

2. GE = NBC = Hillary vs. McCain = Bigger Defense Contracts Either Way.

3. Why? Because the way they portray it is the truth?

waahhhhHHHH

[Quixote1818]

4. The way they portrayed things last night was that Hillary was desperate. nt

[K Gardner]

5. Really sad to see you've sunk this far in support of Hillary. SNL as the Truth.

[Colobo]

6. What truth? That Hillary is one of the dirtiest politicians around

and that she's desperate because she's basically lost the nomination?

[mtnsnake]

11. Dirty? Are you serious? Katz, if he gets the nod, you better grow some thick skin

because you haven't even begun to see dirty yet, my friend.

[Rageneau]

12. Opinions are like assholes...

Everybody has one.

Yours seems to be that Hillary is a dirty politician.

My opinion, equal in relevancy to yours, is she is quite an honest politician who not only has to face normal election challenges, but also must defend herself against a hateful, unfair and unobjective press that is literally out to destroy her -- a press, for example, that will tell enough lies about her in print and on broadcast to make people who don't really know the subbject matter THINK she is a dirty politician.

8. you're taking your cues on the truth from SNL?

I suppose you think Alex Trebek's mother is a whore, too.

[Seabiscuit]

15. WaahhhhHHH

[Huge Ego Sorry]

9. If they have to show SNL clips,

Why can't they show clips from back when the show was actually funny?

[DearAbby]

14. No Kidding

SNL is trying to stay on the cutting edge, no one has the heart to tell them they fell off years ago.

[rodeodance]

13. nope.

[RamboLiberal]

16. What bugs me is they are not showing the entire clip

where faux Hillary declares this is completely untrue and deceptive - nope they just show the panicked Obama part.

A pox on SNL, MSNBC and all the other political pundits who show this in that context!

19. Keith just showed it and said, "We have a recount" regarding SNL's favorable treatment

of Hillary! :D

[TheDonkey]

17. SNL is desperate for ratings

[jenmito]

18. kick to let you know Olbermann "gets it"-the SNL skit was painting HILLARY as the DECEPTIVE one!

It will be coming up soon. HE (unlike anyone else on tv) played the intro. of the skit.
