That may be true, but they could've chosen another way rather than lending credence to the fantasies of left-wing bloggers.
I honestly don’t think it gave any credence to the left. It made fun of them. The Suggestion of incest was thrown out by a “pre-op transsexual,” who was just one of the idiot and clueless reporters portrayed by SNL they were all made to look like pompous fools. He followed up by saying “it is Alaska, after all.” None of the reporters had ever been outside of Manhattan, except one who had been to Queens. He thought Queens was bigger than Alaska. None of them could drive or even had a license. All 50 reporters planned to get around Alaska by taxi.
