Personally I believe Lorne is more pro-look-at me more than pro-Hillary. Tina Fey and Amy are pro-Hillary, Lorne just liked the all the media attention from the 1st debate skit and Tina Fey's piece and like most of SNL's skits didn't know when it was going on for too long.

SNL used to be funny, back when they had some real talent. Now it's pretty much irrelevant. Are they pro-Clinton? Seems like it from where I sit.

I was called in to see Tracy Morgan's bit last night, and it was was great, no doubt. Some people even said he was at his best in the "Black is the new President" bit. But unfortunately what could have been a decent attempt to rehabilitate themselves rings hollow because SNL is going to RE-AIR the Tina Fey-Clinton Obama smear NEXT WEEK. Unbelievably poor judgement.


This idea that Lorne is "concerned," yet is RE-AIRING that episode, just doesn't fit. If he still has the power, why isn't he doing something about it. If he doesn't have the power, is this "concern" just spin? This scheduled re-air confirms their bias. Those pieces should never air again. Get a better Obama and get one quick, one that is an actual parody that at least shows some of his positives, not some weak, hastily invented character that has nothing to do with Obama but is every bit designed to fit Clinton's portrayal of him. And then WRITE SOME NEW MATERIAL, but don't re-air the biggest mistake to ever appear on SNL.


If they re-air this, they will truly have gone down the road of the disastrous comedy attempts like the Faux News Channel's "Half-hour News Hour" and Dennis Miller's excruciatingly awful show, both of which failed because they had a dishonest political agenda, and therefore never found the soul of comedy, which is at least based on a kernel of truth. SNL's portrayals of both Obama and Clinton were completely fabricated to support Clinton's whispering campaign. The powers that be have thrown a lot of our icons under the bus to hold onto power. SNL could just be one more casualty of that. Either way, it is short sighted.


One explanation: In media circles there is the sense that the MSM is attempting to forge our choice down to either the Clintons or McCain, because Bill signed the Telecom Act of 1996 that gave them the ability to buy up stations and create monopolies, which has degraded the news function of the MSM and allowed them to control the message in their interest, and they want to continue expanding. That is why they've been so well behaved and toed the Bush line, to get the kinds of FCC rulings that help them expand. And we now know McCain has secret relationships with female media lobbyists, and his campaign is mostly run by lobbyists now.

I was on the fence but feeling my radar start to go up -- that is until I read that Amy Poehler, who plays Clinton refused to include a 'cry' in one of the skits - saying it went 'too far'. This was a true WTF moment for me. So all of Lorne's protestations to the contrary ring a tad hollow.
They have no qualms about putting an actor in blackface - but portraying a real moment that actually occurred in this campaign that is ripe for satire is nixed?!? This is very Alice in Wonderland to me - much like the Clinton campaign - in the rabbit-hole, up is down and white is black (no pun intended there).

I loved the comment: Black is the new President.­...... Forget SNL, but too bad, Tina Fey also ruined 30 Rock for me.

When you consider the white guy that "PLAYS" Obama on SNL and the program being a Hillary commerical for a few weeks, Tina Fey's yell out for Hillary tell me if there is a problem on SNL. I have not liked the sow for eons but what is the gain when it is obvious that Hillary used and abused the time to get higher votes. I doesn't take a math giant to see that.

Of course, w/ the HuffPo and MSNBC being Screamingly Pro-Prince Obama, you guy would know allllllllllll about this sorta thing, now Wouldn't you-?!

Thanks that people have seen SNL for what they are and have been to Hillary. It is the same for CNN except for Cafferty. The media did all subtle manipulations it could to get Hillary to win Ohio and Texas.
Obama was demonized for the whole of that week. CNN was as much interested as Hillary in getting voters in Ohio and Texas to remember Obama's ties to Rezko. They played the NAFTA gate against Obama when if verified can be traced to Hillary's Campaign. CNN downplayed the Canadian Embassy's refutal that at least put Obama in the clear, reporting it after reporting the damageful aspect. What is certain is that Obama is not liked by the people that want business as usual in Washington. It is sad that the Press is being used to perpetrate the dynasty of the Clintons. It is the same press with CNN as the worst culprit that is finding it difficult to report who won Texas. Candi Crawley still credits Hillary as winner in Texas while Wolf Blitzer paints in stripped Blue colour on Texas to differentiate the 2 contests that took place there. But Texas is not 2 states. Its contest is known as the Texas 2 Step. It is one contest. The person with more delegates won Texas. Obama won Texas. The colour for Wolf Blitzer should become dark blue. It is a big state and Obama won it.
Obama's wins should be looked at and not diminished as the Clintons are doing as if they were not on the ballot in all those states. Obama with 1600+ pledged delegates is the front runner, no amount of bias by SNL and CNN can make Hillary overtake him. These two mainstream press should adjust to reality because the World is watching what you do.

Oh my God, stop the presses, people are supporting Hillary in public and on TV. It's about time! The people that produce the show have a right to support who ever they want and I for one am glad to see it.If the Obamabots don't like it, don't watch!

The skits seem equal opportunity to me and are fairly funny. I have no problem there but Lorne need not pretend that Tina Fey's clear endorsement of Hillary was anything but a clear endorsement of Hillary. That endorsement stands in my eyes as one from Saturday Night Live. I did not see an attempt at humor other than to provide an "in your face" moment for anyone who thinks Hillary is a bitch. Maybe it is because I never saw Tina Fey as very funny.

"I'm just trying to make the sketches funny."

It's just... He should ratchet up the quality control. I think they tried to make it clear in last week's opener that Obama was portrayed that way because it was a Hillary ad, thus making an attempt at removing bias... they just didn't do a particularly good job of making it ring true, and therefore funny.

SNL boss should be concerned. The LA Times reported today that SNL producers contributed more than $10,000 to Clinton's campaign. I would think that is a conflict of interest.

Also, Time Warner/CNN has still not explained the major contributions to Clinton's campaign either?????

I guess the media is going to try to tip the election and sadly the people who are uneducated will buy into it.

SNL is not funny. All this hype still won't make the show funny!!!!
What little I've seen on the Internet I'd say that the shows are definitely biased against OBAMA and pro Hillary.

I've been a big fan of SNL since its inception, even through the dry years. That being said, Lorne Michaels has good reason to be concerned.


They blew it. Caught in short-term corporate profit, shareholder value thinking, the MSM thinks its bread is buttered on the Clinton-McCain side because of those candidates' entrenchment with lobbyists, as evidenced by the latest McCain tryst with a Telecom lobbyist and his many lobbyist campaign advisors, and by Bill Clinton's policies that set up the problems we have now with NAFTA, Telecom Monopolies, etc., ostensibly with Hillary's help and blessing if you believe her claim of relevancy as a first lady, and her behavior as that of a republican mole.


But in the long view, the MSM and in fact all businesses will be better off with Obama, because he has shown he makes informed decisions based on reality rather than self-aggrandizement as in the case of the Clintons and McCain. This attitude in a leader makes the country itself more healthy overall. Clinton and McCain will continue to kill the goose that lays the golden egg, as Bush has done, but Obama will make choices more likely to restore the goose to its former robust self so we can keep harvesting those golden eggs.


When there is a healthy infrastructure and an economy based on meeting the needs of both business and citizens alike as Obama has promised in his speech that everyone, business and citizens alike, will "have a place at the table" with no one having undue influence, all interests, personal and special, will thrive. From a domestic economy standpoint, this is the reason to vote for Obama. Then there are all the other reasons of foreign policy, principled and strong leadership, and the most important of all, emotional and creative intelligence.


So hopefully, Lorne, with his pull at NBC will take a good hard look at their priorities. But I have no desire to support a company or an entity or a show that is shortsightedly willing to be a part of taking down the best chance our country has had in over 40 years to heal itself and solidify its strengths to become the best nation that we all know we are capable of becoming. Not that they can stop it. But such betrayal as this will be remembered when it comes time to exercise MY influence in how I spend my TV time, in my consumer purchases from companies who advertise there and who have supported the negativity, and as regards politicians who engage in such betrayal, in the voting booth.
