'Saturday Night Live' makes CNN rethink

Do you honestly believe that the CNN entertainers/propagandists attended Journalism School?

Early on you had reporters ooo'ing and ahhh'ing over Obama: Chris Matthews with tingles up his leg, etc. Obama has always been an empty vessel into which liberals poured their hopes, dreams, and ambitions and if the answer to your question is, "Obama!", then there's no real need to ask the question, is there? Reporters pitch softballs at him because, in their minds, he's already answered all the hard ones.

I really do not care about Obama or Clinton. As a matter of fact I haven't had a TV since 1984.

If we believe Malveaux and King, then it's way past time for tougher questions for Obama. Of course, neither CNN nor SNL want a Republican in office, so that won't happen. As a reminder, it was CNN who had a Hillary Democrat gay general ask questions at the Republican primary YouTube debate, along with a couple union flunkies.

Has the near-constant mocking on The Daily Show of the press's fawning coverage of Obama led them to ask tougher questions. The answer is no. Nothing is sadder than when the butt of a joke laughs because he's the only one in the room that doesn't know it's about them.
