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.
I agree, this was directed at the NYSlimes. It was quite shocking actually how it attacked the NYSlimes. It is true the reference to incest wasn’t funny, but it wasn’t funny when MSM went into full throttle attack and was giving a platform to people that would say that Trig wasn’t Governor Palin’s son and other disgusting things. After hearing discriptions of the video and actually seeing it myself, I have changed my mind, I won’t be boycotting anything. It was actually brave for SNL to go there with the skit as disgusting as the backdrop was for lampooning the NYSlimes. I would like to see them do it again and again. Then they can go after 0bama, well I can dream anyway.
