Seriously? �SNL� mocks Fox for fake news on same network that brought you Brian Williams

February 16, 2015 by Joe Saunders

Was Brian Williams watching?

NBC�s venerable �Saturday Night Live� used the �Weekend Update�segment of its 40th anniversary special to take a completely shot at the credibility of rival network Fox News that was not only unwarranted but actually embarrassing, given NBC�s recent troubles in its news division.

Midway through through the disappointing segment, �SNL� pioneer Jane Curtin riffed on her early work then stuck the knife in Fox.

�I used to be the only pretty blonde woman reading fake news,� Curtin said, as a Fox News graphic appeared on the screen next to her. �Now, there�s a whole network devoted to it.�

The target audience for this crap - i.e. the Millenials - probably never heard of Brian Williams.

They have heard of Fox News, however. I've heard that Jon Stewart has covered it quite extensively.

And they know (because Stewart is so trusted, doncha know) that Fox News is not to be trusted.

So there.

Hillary's 2016 campaign slogan: Elect Clinton in '16 - believe it or not, there's STILL some of the country that hasn't been "fundamentally changed".

"Fox News" is an epithet with these idiots. I had some fool on FB tell me I was effing lying about something, and he was sure I got it from Fox News. I laughed at him, after I posted several links to stories (non-Fox) that backed up what I said. I asked him if he climbs out of his mother's basement to kiss her with that filthy mouth.

Oddly enough Millenials don't watch Stewart/Liebowitz. His average viewers age, what few of them there are, is 41.

Romney '16 '20 ..... because we all need a laugh.
