Saturday's edition of Saturday Night Live mocked the House Oversight Committee's hearings last week on the Benghazi terror attacks, substituting convicted murderer Jodi Arias for the State Department whistleblowers who came forward to testify about the deaths of four American diplomats on Sep. 11, 2012.
SNL cast the hearings as a "partisan witch-hunt" in which Republicans tried to sensationalize the deaths for political gain, using the week's notorious criminals--including alleged kidnapper and rapist Ariel Castro--to gain media attention. The sketch, which opened the show, acknowledged that the media had not covered the Benghazi scandal--but instead of making fun of the media or the administration, SNL targeted the GOP.

SNL, Stewart, Colbert, Letterman, etc., they are all warrior-propagandists for the ruling-class elites and their socialist agenda. If it means mocking the four dead Americans or anyone who dares bring light on the dereliction or corruption, this is indeed what they will do. They serve their masters.
SNL has some decent comedians; but they need some good writers. I’m very glad I didn’t stay up to watch last night’s show. There’s no excuse for something so hideous.
They’ll do anything to get attention.
The show was tired decades ago, it’s completely irrelevant now.
Libtards don’t have any value for life, that is why they love abortion so much..so SNL decides to pock fun at a horrendous crime, 3 women being brutalized for 10+ years in a hell hole while horrible things were done to them..that is why I haven’t watched SNL in WOW I dont even know how long..its been garbage for a long time and this pretty much confirms it
Is that thing still on? Really low class bunch.
This situation is not funny and not a proper subject for humor.
It actually wasn’t a bad premise for a skit (republicans having to resort to calling Jodie Arias as a witness to get some mainstream media coverage of the Benghazi hearings), but the execution was pretty terrible (nearly zero effort at being funny). I suspect there are is at least one libertarian-minded junior writer on the show who is being sabotaged during rewrites and editing to keep with the liberal lines of acceptable targets of mockery.
They like that stuff.
Uh, no. They made a point of making Republican Issa look like a buffoon and “Death is part of Life” Democrat Cummings look like the voice of reason.
It was not funny nor was it intended to be, it was just a slap at Republicans. You give them too much credit.
You’ve missed...nothing.
Dear Navy SEALs: New York City is a wonderful vacation spot! Think of the fun you could have being in the audience for Saturday Night Live! Why, you could personally pass on your enjoyment of their skit mocking your dead brothers. Their jest salvors but a shallow wit.
GE doesn’t own NBC anymore. Comcast does.
I thought of that. So let us make fun of Chris Steven’s vile death to make up for his damned sister’s lose.
I’m old but I rember when SNL was entertainment instead of a liberal platform!
I haven’t wathced it with any intent since Gilda passed!
She was a sweet lady! I play some of her songs she recorded while with us on our Radio Show!
I take it they compete with Jon Stewart and Colbert (or whatever his name is).
So they’re regrouping.
I guess they’re going to go Alinsky on the whistle-blowers.
It could work, with the media on their side. They only have to convince the 50% who are watching TMZ.
When will we make a stand?
consider the blatent cheating.
listing her name twice for political advantage. (granted TECHNICALLY legal but he would have freaked if the republican did that)
Illegal voting, wild accusations beyond those admitted.
