CNN fact checks…SNL spoof?

Saturday Night Live did a skit where actor Fred Armisen, impersonating B.O., said (among other things) that he had accomplished two things since taking over: Jack and Squat.  It was an amusing skit, although Armisen needs to work on his B.O. impression a bit more.

Anywho, it was a spoof.  That’s what they do at SNL.  Yet what does Wolf Blitzer do at CNN?  He puts together a fact-check segment to debunk a friggin’ SNL skit!  Details (video at the site):

CNN: Thy name is shameless.

Stooping to depths only MSNBC would explore on a bad day, CNN’s The Beard attempted to rescue his Dear Leader from SNL’s “not fair” and “not true” segment of Obama over the weekend. Can you believe this? When has this been done before? Did SNL get fact-checked over their “I can see Russia from my backyard” comment by Tina Fey? [BTW: For all of you who failed to receive a fact-checking from CNN, Palin actually said you can see Russia from Alaska].

Grabbing a second helping of shamelessness, CNN labels Tina Fey’s impression of Palin “dead on” at the end of their fact-checking segment. No matter what side of the aisle you stand on, you have to admit this is embarrassing and distressing. [H/T: Lee Habeeb]

No wonder CNN’s 8:00 pm show with Campbell Brown is getting creamed by Fox News Channel’s Red Eye…which comes on at 3:00 a.m.! Maybe CNN should worry about their own programming instead of running interference for a thin-skinned president being lampooned in a comedy skit?

Nope…no liberal media bias!
