What's the problem?
I wouldn't watch your show, so you don't have to watch mine.
Half of Obama's votes came from people who watch Saturday Night Live.
I'm so sick of hearing that Fox News is a joke when so many were influenced by this trashy program.
Yes, lets all follow pot smoking Hollywood and do what they say.

What a crock! SNL is not particularly "liberal" in its treatment of Obama. In fact, several RW posters have started threads agreeing with their spoofs of Obama.

Yeah, but Fox News portays itself as a legitmate news agency.

SNL is a comedy show, so is the Daily Show and the Colbert Report--these shows make no claims to be otherwise. Although I think they are more truthful and honest than Fox News.

Fox News knows whole-heartedly what it does in reporting the news. I mean jst this past week they haven't aired a single event President Obama head, including the Health Care Law signing. Just because people might disagree with it, it's still news, and news worthy.

It's fine if you choose to watch, but watch with a grain of salt. Flip over the CNN or MSNBC. What are they talking about on Newshour over on PBS? What does your local paper say. Too many people who watch Fox rely on them. They can say whatever they wish to on television, but I wish they wouldn't portray themselves as a news agency.

Watch all 24-hr NEWS with a grain of salt.

Anyone who watches and relies on Fox drank the koolaid.

Yeah, I'm amazed this had to be said. SNL is a (bad) comedy show. Fox News is a (bad) news network. They are not comparable unless you literally think Fox News is one big joke.

I think you're upset because the people who watch SNL/Daily Show/Colbert are well educated 20-30 somethings.

Where as the people who watch Fox News, well aren't.

This kind of empty-headed cheerleading has to stop. Most liberals (and most people in general) don't think Hollywood (SNL is shot in New York, LOL) has much of value to say. The stuff about pot-smoking, whatever, so asinine.

Agreed, first off suggesting that 1/2 of Obama's votes came from SNL is a bold faced lie.

Secondly, anyone who can't tell the difference between a comedic show that talks about and pokes fun at events in the news and a network, show that portrays themselves as a legit news source but isn't is beyond help.
