SNL Skewers FOX & Friends Again

It's a mystery to me why Saturday Night Live so often puts an awkward or bad sketch early in the show, and then put a gem after Weekend Update. I swear, if I have to watch another The Californians sketch, I may have to take a sabbatical from one of the weaker seasons of SNL. But who am I kidding, I've been watching since season 1, episode 1, through the bad and the good. And any time they skewer FOX "News," particularly the oddly-named FOX & Friends, I know it's going to be fun..



And if you don't want to pause the video to see all of the F&F "corrections," here's a link to all of them, including, Zumba is not a secret form of Santeria. North Korea is not a Cloud City. A "pin code" and a "pine cone" are two different things!  

In Case You Missed It: SNL's "FOX & Friends" Romney Skit

Still on vacation, so I'm rerunning one of the best SNL clips so far this short season. If I have the opportunity, I will recap this week's SNL Weekend Update Thursday edition. For now, enjoy this one (and try pausing the crawl of "error corrections" toward the end, they're hilarious!).

Saturday Night Live Skewers FOX & Friends

The morons on the oddly named FOX & Friends deserve every bit of criticism they receive. But it's always best leavened with humor.

No, you stupid oaf, Democrats are just pointing out that actual voter fraud is almost non-existent. When states put Voter ID bills before voters, it sounds so innocent: we just want to keep the elections fair! What's the big deal? You need an ID to buy a pack of smokes! Which is all true. . .sort of. The fact is, the reason so many (shhhh. . . .Republican-controlled) states are putting restrictions on voting is because they know that the people most likely to not have a photo State ID are more likely to vote Democrat. And FOX "News" knows this. They're just playing all innocent, "Why don't Democrats care about voter fraud?" They would. If there actually were any measurable voter fraud. But there isn't. You'd think this widespread push to enact legislation on a fundamental right, would have a tangible reason, other than suppressing Democratic voter turnout.

Fox News host suggests Democrats are ‘for voter fraud’

Fox News host Gretchen Carlson says she can’t understand why Democrats would be against discriminatory voter ID laws unless they are “for voter fraud.”

Earlier this week, the Department of Justice blocked a law requiring Texas voters to show identification on the grounds that it could disenfranchise Latino voters.

Similar Republican-backed laws have also been blocked or temporarily barred in South Carolina and Wisconsin. . .
