| CNN Fact checks SNL Obama Skit!
WTF? Why on earth are they fact checking a comedy skit? Maybe because it's critical of the beloved Lecturer-in-Chief.
I don't remember them fact checking any other skit about a politician or perhaps the Daily Show.
The news media slide continues unabated. Hot Air Blog Archive Video: CNN helps Obama out by … fact-checking SNL’s skit

| Notice they show part of the Palin skits on SNL but do not address the accuracy at all for those skits.
Also, the set by Wolf Blitzer is absurd.

While I too find the notion of fact checking a comedy skit to be inherently ridiculous, I feel compelled to point out that in the case of a Palin-based skit there would actually be no fact to check.

| I'm still shocked that SNL actually made fun of him after kissing his @$$ so much. | |

| Wonder if they'll fact check the skit that was on tonight? Although tonight they made fun of conservatives also, so I doubt they will. | |
