The Daily Caller has obtained a scrapped sketch critical of President Barack Obama that was intended for airing at the opening of last night’s “Saturday Night Live” on NBC.

"One more thing: I want to remind us all that, when sending a Killing of Osama bin Laden anniversary card, or offering best wishes on Killing Osama bin Laden Day to a friend who happens to be Muslim, we should be considerate of Islamic cultural tradition. To many Muslims, phrases like Osama bin Laden "went dirt-napping,” or “assumed room temperature,” or “sleeps with the fishes,” can be offensive. Especially the last one, since, as we all know, he was buried at sea."
Bump.
Come to think of it, that must be why I stopped watching SNL about 30 years ago.
Er ... you see the problem here? If you don't actually watch the show, you can't say whether it's biased or not. I haven't watched the show much lately, but usually make a point of checking out the opening sketch which is usually political and pointed.
Of course it's not unbiased. But those first sketches in the Clinton years were usually about Bill and Hillary or Janet Reno or Monica Lewinsky. In that sense, they did sort of "go after" Clinton, not harshly or with ill-will, but they definitely made the most of his comic potential.
During the Bush years the first sketch was usually a take-down of Bush or Cheney or Condoleeza Rice or some other Republican. They even went after Bush's kids one week, something they say they never do.
During the last election, though, they probably had more sketches about Obama and Hillary Clinton than about McCain and the other Republicans, and even had skits about Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank.
This election cycle, though, it seems like every sketch is about Romney or Gingrich or Boehner and the Republicans. There's little about Barack, nothing about Michelle, and no jokes about such obvious targets as Carney or Geithner.
They have had sketches about Biden: I guess they feel more comfortable with a White comic taking down a White second banana than a non-Black coming going up against a Black (or part-Black) president. Last Saturday they took out that Osama-Obama sketch and put in a very lame one about Fox and Friends, as if they were a particularly tempting target.
So yes, they're biased, and they always were to some extent biased, but not to this extent -- at least not in recent decades. There definitely is something new here.
I heard the Obama skit was replaced by a Fox & Friends skit. And a poorly done one at that.
Of course they aren’t going to do anything funny or critical of Obama. They haven’t for years.
They did do skits on Clinton. Mostly benign, hardly going after a hard topic. I still love the Hartmann sketch where (right after Somalia) he’s out “for a jog” and they walk into a Mc Donalds and start talking to people and eating their meals as he’s walking around. Grabs a hamburger and starts talking about “Warlord!” Also the comment to the secret service guy “There’s gonna to be a LOT of things we’re not gonna tell Hillary about.”
Hartman’s Reagan in the ‘Mastermind’ sketch was classic....”Alright....BACK TO WORK!”.
Why is this a shock? NBC/Comcast is on the White House payroll. They don’t even try to deny it at this point. FFS they even use the same communist slogans for their advertising campaigns. NBC is an enemy of freedom loving American people. You can NOT logically debate that. They are spies, traitors and overall, the enemy... And should be treated as such.
Lorne Michaels...
Great cartoon!
The surprise is that such a skit was even contemplated at all.
I can.
It was scrapped because it wasn't funny.
When people know something is true, it loses it's comedic value.
Correct. We now can 'see' very well that the Communists have completed their takeover of entertainment, news media, education, unions, and most of the government.
YURI BEZMENOV laid it all out for us back in the 80's.
DEMORALIZATION
DESTABILIZATION
CHAOS
NORMALIZATION.
We are in the CHAOS stage (GW alarm,oil/gas prices, oil drilling, food costs, housing problems, race-war, financial market collapse, etc.)
Next comes NORMALIZATION. That is when it becomes public that we have a SOCIALIST DICTATORSHIP, and all the helpful dissidents (gays, MSM prostitutes, Occupy protesters) will be lined up against the wall and shot. After all, they were disloyal to their fellow countrymen, why should the Commies trust them?
Then they go after any 'Americans' who won't bow down to the new regime with the military.
These 'liberals' want everyone to be 'equal' and think Socialism/Communism will provide that.
Aside from the 'ruling elite', everyone will be equal. NONE will have any rights. Want to see a real DOCTOR? PAY CASH BRIBE UP FRONT.
COMMUNISM is simply OUT OF CONTROL CAPITALISM with a Financial Caste System.
