SNL Weekend Update takes a shot at Fox News over Blagojevich Scandal

[Bahleaver]

Your last comment was so highschool-ly immature, Fox.

[MeLuvsYuuu1347]

the second they showed Amy poehler on screen fox news got it's ass handed to them

[SecretService80]

In all of these segments, Bill's retort is always some sort of defensive statement putting down someone or something else to make himself feel better about himself.

"Well, at least we ______________ UNLIKE the OTHER news stations."

Fox needs to grow up.

[dogbert102010]

fck fox news and anybody that looks like fox news!

[theartofliving01]

GO AMY!

[skeech15]

"Atleast we did report the story, others did not". Their wasnt a story to report. Fox News made up a story like they always did. Its not journalism, its propaganda.

[DrewFaron]

I would like to see Bill get run over by a bus. That would be good "News".

[Blit67]

Well of course SNL hit Fox... It's NBC. They really need to be careful though. They are the home of MSNBC which is home to Keith Olbermann... This guy needs to stay on his meds and stop sleeping with staffers in gross motel rooms. It obvious the community college grad needs mental help. You should ask some of us who work with him..or at least work on the same floor. He's a loser and I think he knows it...it's sad really.

[needdamoreoftht]

Oh my jesus I can't stand o'reilly why does he always act like a pompous duche bag?? Why can't he just be nice for once ?!? Ughhhhhh

[Xp710]

wow...O'Reilly just made himself douche of the year

[mer6686]

And here I am thinking Bill O'Reily or fox news for that matter has no sense of humor

[ananiasacts]

I love Bill's comment!!! "At least we did report the story..." Outrageous. How does it do it with a straight face.

[whythehell99]

Yes at least Fox News reports innuendos, rumors, lies, and misrepresentations. How dare the other networks not try and mislead people?

Any network that does not do this must be liberal.

[davidmelnick]

@whythehell99 Yes...FauxNews must be hi on the phrase: double standard.

[xtallake]

Whats funny here is this......people that are against FOX news, actually dont believe CNN and MSNBC are biased at all. The people laughed so hard at that joke.  Wow, at least FOX news listeners understand that FOX leans conservative and CNN.MSNBC leans liberal. CNN/MSNBC viewers actually believe that those networks are reporting balanced news? Now that funny!!...and sad. Wake up people...they are all biased!!

[kyle2222222]

cnn is not so biased but your right all of those are bias but i hate fox so much because the are the worst they twist things more and just plain make shit up and do not ever have other view points they just bring in people that agree with them thats all

[Fellopian22]

Why does everyone hate fox news, just because they have proof to back up there stories, and reports......must be the reason why.....

[patriciobrito]

The prosecuter is saying that there is nooo evidence and thay still try to imply that there is.....that is not backed up!!

[AceBobcat]

no, it's because they're a bunch of lying motherf**kers that twist things around to make it seem like the librals are wrong and the conservitives are right. Which is not the case most of the time. (MOST of the time, not all)

[Fellopian22]

and you dont think that cnn, msnbc, abc, cbs, dont twist facts as well?

[AceBobcat]

Didn't say that.

msnbc: definitely

abc: a little

cbs: eh

Cnn: not so much

[terracottapie]

@AceBobcat

MSNBC has radical rightwing nutjob Joe Scarborough on for three hours every day. That's a "liberal network"?

[rakrobn]

Dumbshit, you just saw in the clip there was NO PROOF as the prosecutor said there was NO EVIDENCE, and they STILL tried to imply that there was.

[macindrew]

It's because they rarely tell the truth. At least with the other channels you can verify their reporting, but Fox News is hardly ever fact based. A good recent SNL skit of how Fox operates is at the link below.

(you tube - partial link)

snipurl . com /t50c2

Fox News is the laughing stock of our nation for a reason, now you know...

[shawakwak]

LOL This isn't sarcasm is it? Fox News does very little fact checking.

[kyle2222222]

yes they have proof, proof that they make up or lie about. what proof do they offer 100% of what they talk about are opinions.

[trier4952]

just as Richard Jeni...if you are either far left, or far right..chances are that you've gone too far LOL

[bumblingbard]

fox news go suck a dick or grow one. what a waste of air time.

[Scroopulous]

stfu, go back to your gay communist nbc news station faggot

[puddum]

....are you retarded?

[unicycleproductions]

Whenever fox news gets owned they always reply by saying "at least we reported it"

[whitedarkness11756]

The guy at the end made a good point...at least they brought something shady to light from Obama's past/present...barely saw any of that before the election P:

[exacerbatedtaboo]

Which media outlet didn't cover this story? I remember them all talking about it.

[whitedarkness11756]

I didn't say other outlets didn't cover it...? I just said that I didn't see a lot of things about Obama's past that were really shady...which led me to believe that a) The man was a saint or b) People didn't want to talk about his faults...(I saw maybe three things that were questionable about Obama's past...and all of them were later shot down...so...yea...)

[exacerbatedtaboo]

"The guy at the end made a good point...at least they brought something shady to light"

You did say the media didn't cover it. I agree with you however the media INCLUDING fox news keeps alot of things silent about Obama. Fuck him, fuck O'reilley, and Fuck Bush. Why can't we have someone who REALLY gives a shit?

[whitedarkness11756]

That's only true if you put emphasis on the 'they'...I didn't mean it that way...sorry...(probably should have written 'at least something shady was brought to light...'? Maybe...?)

But yes...it would have been nice to have someone who actually cared enough to do some actual research that could aid the public in making an informed decision about our president...

[donhagen2121]

Maybe he considers the home shopping channel to be media.

[exacerbatedtaboo]

Ya know!! That wouldn't surprise me one bit....lol

[donhagen2121]

Its also a blatent lie. ALL THE MEDIA WAS REPORTING IT!!!! Maybe not the music and kids channels.

[whitedarkness11756]

What are you talking about? I just said that's not what I meant...twice...

Also...donhagen2121 I'm a girl O-O and I haven't watched TV since the election debacle...I've lost faith in the 'news media'...please don't be a prick and assume things...thank you...(I never watch the Home Shopping Network...just as an aside...)

[ashoftomorrow]

is your :P face lickking it's eye?

[whitedarkness11756]

Maybe...I try not to ask it questions...but it probably is ;P

[dragonruler978]

Fox News is such trash

[ilovesummerxx]

Hahahah. Wow. Good job O'Reilly, you really got SNL back?

Oh wait, you didn't, because IT WAS A JOKE.

[KungPisstank]

Does Bill-O realize he's part of the sketch (or at least that it wouldn't be half as effective without his framing)?

[milkymoo222]

oooo just cuz they FINALLY made fun of you busters doesn't mean you get all offended

[b07rivera]

Well, on the final days of Blagojevich's term as Governor,

Fox News did in fact supported him and told the people watching the Fox News, "Blago could have been a victim to society in fact"

And so, as Michael Savage would have put it Fake News is just as corrupted as MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and etc etc

GUYs do you own research and watch the news from time to time, because they have their own agenda on what THEY want you to see.

don't be sheeps, be Men, same thing goes out with the women as well

[Greene1809]

You just lost commenting privileges for a week on the grounds of being a fucking idiot.

[b07rivera]

Damn I wish that even possible,

there are so many retards like yourself that not only do they need to lost commenting privileges, but an electric shock toward their fingers from the keyboard could be pretty cool.

Be a men dude

[Greene1809]

Go back to grammar school "sheeps".

[b07rivera]

Is that the only thing you can say you stupid pile of liberal shit.

seriously man, almost all liberals have the talent to correct my "Grammar" but they cannot back up on why they disagree with my Conservative views.

Go take a hike thru the woods and get maul by a bear.

[Greene1809]

People like you give "conservatives" a bad name. There is absolutely no reason to hope for my death other than the fact that my comments make sense and yours are a jumble of random horseshit. I have no problem with conservatives except the ones who try to act like they are better than everyone else (which goes for everyone else as well) or if they try to say that anyone who doesn't agree with them is wrong *cough* Coulter *cough*.

P.S. Your grammar improved since your last comment. Congrats.

[b07rivera]

See, there's the thing that i have trouble with liberals, Not all conservatives are the same, I for one, ain't a big fan of any of the big names of the Republican/Conservative Party.

Ann Coulter, I may agree on some of the things she says, but not all the time. It's the same thing with Hannity, Limbaugh and others.

See what influences me is that i look at both sides of the story even looking at TheYoungTurks & LIberalViewer and then make up my own conclusions toward the world we're heading

[nunatak]

FOX is really good at polarizing Americans and turning them against one another. It's what they do best. In America, free speech is a right -- not a privilege -- and so hate laws have very little tooth when it comes to a corporate medium exploiting it's rights to break America apart.

[xnovanx]

lol if you bitches don't like fox news why the fuck are you watching it? fucking douches gtfo

[sirladouche]

nbc is a bunch of left-wing pieces of $hit

[travi360]

yeah but its not like snl made anything up when they told that joke...that was the actual headline that fox used when they reported the story...

[zeelaw]

Faux news

[ashoftomorrow]

That would be totally funny if "faux" sounded anything like "fox"

=P

[AceBobcat]

it's not really the pronunciation that matters, it's the spelling

[GOPSpinMachineInOD]

Faux News = Scumbags, Insane right-wing propaganda

[JasonDaPsycho]

Bill, in response to your last statement in the video, having an asshole like you in the media doesn't mean others should be one

[Greenandscaly]

Amy Poehler summed up Fox News in just a few seconds: They make up wild theories about the news and pass them off as news exclusives.

[Greenandscaly]

Do Fox News reporters and commentators even WATCH other news networks, or are they ordered ONLY to watch Fox News? EVERY media outlet covered the Blago scandal! How could BOR say such a ridiculous statement?

[RockawayRiotSquad]

Sean Hannity and O' Reilly are DISGRACES...I hope they both rot in hell

[philblunt420]

NBC is biased

[pr0crastin8r]

Umm... That's just flat out not true. The Obama/Blago story was all over every media outlet. Both a lame comeback, AND a lie. Business as usual for Bill.

[kheibarpass]

a message to O'Reilly: GO TO HELL AND BURN THERE FOREVER.

[pantex1928]

If you haven't done it, watch just one hour of FOX news and you'll see why "conservatives" are they way they are. After one hour, you feel like you should barricade the doors and windows to your house. The network spouts," fear, distrust, fear, the sky is falling, fear, it's not our fault, fear, they're trying to take what you've worked hard for, and they finish up with fear. And just as you're about to change the channel, FEAR". All this seasoned with a dose of hypocrisy.

[1983Pepper]

I love how Fox NEWS gets all upset when comedy shows (The Daily Show, Colbert Report, SNL) make fun of them. If Bill honestly believes that he is competing with comedy shows then I feel a bit better about laughing my ass off at him.

[thedon5674]

Are you O'Reilly bashers going to say that he was not right on when it came to the blow-out he had with that pantie-waste Barney Frank?...or are you going to say "he was just sooo mean to the poor man" 60 min had a sit down with ole Barney last week...talk about soft-ball questions..typical for the liberal news outlets like CBS

[CrunkRockSteadyEvan]

SOME other media? who are you talking about? all the major networks did you fuckin nutcase

[Greenandscaly]

If Fox News suddenly reported that 2 + 2 = 5, I bet O'Reilly would STILL be mocking other news outlets for NOT mentioning their exclusive!

[Greenandscaly]

Fitzgerald says Obama is not involved in Blagogate. The rest of the MSM reports that Fitzgerald says Obama is not involved in Blagogate. Fox News asks "Is Obama involved in Blagogate?," then O'Reilly crows about the fact that NO OTHER media outlet came up with the slanted angle they simply INVENTED for the story! How does Fox News maintain an audience? It's unfathomable!

[Greenandscaly]

Incredible. Fox News is actually BOASTING about coming up with a news angle on the Blago case that is INCORRECT? Let me explain this to you, Bill. Journalists strive to get the story first, but they put more emphasis on getting the story RIGHT because they face LAWSUITS and the LOSS OF THEIR JOBS if they consistently get stories wrong. That's not the case at Fox News. Staffers there are unencumbered by the need to be factually correct, so they are free to MAKE S**T UP!

[Notorious1441]

O'Reilly really needs to stop showing people making fun of him on his show. It just makes him look bad and he never has a good response.

[AllySmells001]

What is Bill O'Reilly talking about? Some in the media didn't report this story? This story is hot--EVERYONE in the media is talking about it! Bill--I can't wait until Murdoch reveals how much he doesn't like you to your face and fires you. "Your fired, arrr."

[Pinetree09]

FUCK IT, WE'RE DOIN IT LIVE!

[sean2me]

When Bill doesn't like reality he substitutes his own.

[shonester]

Meanwhile MSNBC was reporting Obama going to work out at the gym instead....LOL.

[Kmath]

LOL FU FOX

[me213516]

I will no longer take O'Reilly seriously unless he prefaces every sentence with "Disregard that I suck cocks."

Amy Poehler points how undeniably wrong Fox was, and how slantedly they reported the story. Bill's response?

"At least we reported it."

Am I missing something here? Fox News wants credit for being wrong? They want gratitude for fallaciously insinuating Obama was involved in the scandal when state prosecutors concluded the exact opposite?

[davidmelnick]

@me213516 Xactly...I seem to vividly remember the fraud reporting by FauxNews & Jon Stewart having fun w/ 'em. ;)

[xetlive]

Yea, when you have commercials that try to convince viewers that you "Fair and Balanced"... your probably NOT!

[mawriz]

Lol Fox News is a joke. Fair and balanced my ass.

[davidmelnick]

@mawriz Damn Straight!

[QCstudent12]

what the fuck is he talking about? every news channel in the United States is covering this story

[thedon5674]

If the mainstream news thinks that this is a non-story...wait awhile, 'cause the shits going to hit the fan soon...And NObama is going to have some trouble.

[alexsep82]

u are another slave of fox news propaganda. all major networks are reporting the story. oreilly is just caught up with the ratings shit. i see CNN , NBC ect reportin so he better relax, actully early this week on FOx and friends a republican was saying that the Obama was in it deeply without even knowing the facts and fox didn't shut him down.

[rakrobn]

Another right wing moonbat.

[thedon5674]

LOL...your about as sharp as a bowling ball!

[rakrobn]

It's "you're" ("you are" as a contraction) not "your" (possessive). It's nice to see no child left behind worked for you.

[thedon5674]

Gosh!..YOU'RE my hero!!!

[GoldsteinsBook]

Wow, never thought I'd find myself siding with Bill-O.

[theaztexpaceman]

"A 3 way deal would give the Pres.elect a buffer so there is no obvious quid pro quo for (Senate Candidate 1)"

[JohnR22926]

So Fox asking the question "is Obama involved in the Blago scandal" is considered biased. Journalists are supposed to take Obama's brief initial statement that he's not involved as the gospel truth and report it that way...not supposed to ask any questions at all. Unreal! Especially when you compare it to the treatment the MSM gave Bush and Palin.

[13otany13ay]

The point is, Fox News reported a story that was no story.

"Have Aliens abducted and replaced the real Rupert Murdoch? Of course he says, he is no alien, but can we trust his words? For now we have no proof he is an alien at all. But, nontheless, the question remains: What are his plans?

While the mainstream media ignores the story, we at least report. More on Murdoch and Aliens to come while the plot thickens. Stay tuned!"

[GoldsteinsBook]

What a douchebag comment. If you HONESTLY believe Obama knew nothing about this scandal, you really need psychological deprogramming.

[FrankieD2000]

all the liberals do

[GoldsteinsBook]

I'm not a liberal, O'Reilly was just never my favorite guy.

[JohnR22926]

13: What? The Blago story and the relationship of Obama to Blago wasn't a story? It's been on every channel 24/7 since the story broke!

It's an absolutely legit story not just because Emanuel met with Blago but because the corruption theme dovetails with previous questions about Obama's associations with corrupt people (Wright/Ayers/Rezko).

And what about the MSM treatment of Palin? Was that "fair"?

[kwilli33]

what treatment of Palin, honestly? im neither dem nor rep. I watched all fox, nbc & cnn during her reign of error. Palin did herself in... political suicide

[JohnR22926]

kwili: Try this on:

-Palin's handicapped child was really her daughter's illegitimate child.

-The humiliating comedy skits like SNL. Didn't see ONE disrespectful skit about Obama. Not one.

-Lies that Palin banned library books.

-Lies that the Palin's belonged to an extremist church.

-The nonsense about how her daughter's pregnancy somehow made Palin a hypocrite.

-Trooper-gate: a non-story.

-Clothes-gate: a non-story.

And many more. Hyped by the MSM because they wanted Obama IN.

[thedon5674]

JohnR22926....Well done!. Excellent point!

[rakrobn]

Yeah, keep thinking that, she DID belong to an extremist church as shown by the YT videos themselves (and as I recall Obama's church was in the news for quite a few news cycles in March), Troopergate - legislature found her guilty of ethics violations (though not legal violations) yet her own personally appted. board said she did nothing (surprise!), the SNL skits almost quoted Palin verbatim, she was that much of a joke - see the Katie Couric interviews, let's not forget the Bridge to Nowhere.

[JohnR22926]

rak: To the secular MSM, ALL churches are extremist...by definition. I'll bet you consider Mormons extreme too.

And I don't recall anyone questioning the philosopy of Obama's church (heaven forbid the MSM would question a black church). What WAS questioned was Wright's hate-mongering comments. No, the MSM intent was to portay Palin as a tongue-talking nut.

And I stand by my original point which is that the MSM took niggling little "non-stories" and hyped them to the max...to get Obama IN.

[rakrobn]

Yeah you mean the "non-story" of her husband being part of an organization that wants Alaska to secede from the Union? Yeah, non-story my ass.

[JohnR22926]

rak: Yes, that's EXACTLY the kind of non-story I'm talking about. Some bullshit stew of lies, innuendo and exaggeration...hyped as gospel truth by the MSM because it would help get THE ONE elected.

And you believe it because you WANT to believe it. Just like 911 Truthers, Elvis Sighters, and every other conspiracy loving doofus. Your ass, indeed!

[rakrobn]

Nice to see you keep drinking the conservative kool-aid. Facts for conservatives always have a "liberal" bias. LOL.

[JohnR22926]

rak: yeah, it's always "drinking the kool-aid" when it's an opinion different than the one you hold. BTW, how you liking Obama's "change" at this point? You like the centrist administration he's building...while shunting the left wing ideological cranks to the margins?

"Change you can believe in". I guess that means Hillary, Gates, Richardson, and every other big-name re-tread you can think of. Staying in Iraq, deferring tax hikes, etc.

What a hoot! Talk about drinking the kool-aid.

[rakrobn]

Actually you dumbass, I am a centrist so I am perfectly happy. How are you liking the GOP in the minority in BOTH the House and the Senate? Don't worry Democratic dominance is here to stay. Please thank George Bush for me for fucking up the GOP for decades. We couldn't have done it without him.

[seanandjoi]

Or the fact that her husband is a secessionist

[JohnR22926]

sean: The husband is a secessionist? Really?

Let's see. Obama used cocaine a couple of times in his 20s...guess that makes him a crackhead. Emanuel is known for his profanity...I guess that means he's uneducated and ignorant. Teddy Kennedy's car went into the drink 40 yrs ago and a woman died...guess that makes him a murderer. I could go on forever.

I stand by my point which is the MSM hyped every little niggling thing they could find about the Palins because they wanted Obama IN.

[rakrobn]

George Bush did cocaine and was an alcoholic. Emmanuel uses profanity what's your point, everyone does - oh wait conservatives hate free speech never mind and as usual Republicans have nothing but to go back 40 years ago. How about the GOP's greatest blunder George Bush?

And it IS CORRECT. Palin's husband was part of the Alaskan Independence Party. I know facts are always damning for conservatives.

[davidmelnick]

@rakrobn I damn sure hope Palin runs in 2012 so Tina Fey can crush her...again. ;)

[Supremedeity]

Just like fox did the same to obama come every news place is biased just watch the show you like lol america panders to them all

[JohnR22926]

supre: No, you're wrong. Fox did have a lot of coverage about Wright and Ayers, but those were legit stories. I don't recall Fox having any coverage about Obama's cocaine use in his youth, his wife's grossly inflated salary, his wife's laughable thesis in college (filled with typos/grammatical errors), etc. There were plenty of tangential things Fox could have covered, but didn't.

Look at my earlier post for a brief list of things the MSM hyped about the Palins. No comparison at all.

[rakrobn]

Funny how it's only "legit" stories when Fox Noise covers things. It's no wonder the GOP has become a laughingstock of a party. Can't wait till 2012 - when Jindal/Palin are voted in. Don't worry Democrats will do the same Operation Chaos that Rush Limbaugh did in our primaries.

[kwilli33]

Palin admited on tv to the clothing scandal but painted a diff pic. her daughter's pregnancy was simply how can u tell me how 2 raise my child when urz is not abstinent. come on fox did the same towards obama like i said i watch all 3 networks. the 3rd snl they quoted verbatim what she told katie couric. again i say palin was her own worst enemy. palin was a mudslinger trying to tie obama to terroritst but wut of her husband Alaska 1st group. was fox fair? trust no news but research ur own

[wing667]

fox rules ignore the liberal bitches

[wing667]

then don't watch him you cunt :)

[bernople]

Yeah, we reported it with bias, but at least we reported it. You just gave the game away Bill.

[chattingcat]

LOL:)

[ZombieX13]

Fair enough, Billy. Fair enough.
