SNL has stopped being funny and I didn't see the skit, but I read a description of it and it sounded pretty funny and it was a very rare riff on the NYTs and the drive-by media.
It's sort of like what the New Yorker cover of the Obama's was trying to do.
They stopped being funny at least 20 years ago!
accusing someone of incest in this heated environment is NEVER funny......
Good comparison.
