CNN's "SNL" Fact-Check: "Dumbest Thing Of The Week!"

[TheJoeyzxc]

Hold on..

Hold on..

Hold on.. Let me say one thing.

Bill O'Reilly fact checked (reality check he calls it) a Sarah Palin sketch on SNL.

But I guess that doesn't count because Sarah Palin's not a Democrat.

[pushycatpops]

Bill 0'Rielly needs to fact check his marriage. Last I heard his Wife is in a relationship with a Detective.

[Fredman5551]

what is this im feeling? am i actually agreeing with Bill O'Rielly?

oh my god, i need to lie down

[solidsnakemanful]

One reason why I find the news to be annoying in today's society.

[TheJman6360]

Of course fox news hires a dumb blonde as one of their lead anchors. That must be why so many stupid people watch that show.

[Qmaster7]

This is what happens to CNN when they run out of news to report. Fox doesn't have that problem because they don't report news. To be somewhat fair, CNN does analyze some really dumb stuff.

[TheJman6360]

@Qmaster7 I agree, I think that they should try to get higher ratings and do what fox news does and make up their own news for an hour every night! I'm glad to see that all of the unsuccessful people in America watch fox news and vote for a party that best represents the hosts of the shows who are selling the lies!

[Mega2dimples]

cnn really missed the obvious on the that one.

[F4O4U4R4S]

Could you imagine if CNN, FOX and the others had done some fact checking on the lies that led America into the Iraq war!

[ercwst]

Crooked News Network = CNN straight up.

[Sansfeur]

CNN did fact one of the Palin skits, CNN said; The skit used Palin's words exactly!!! They deduced it was very rare that a skit simply quoted the subject.

[xwingday]

Who the hell took the time to fact check a comedy skit?

[jreamer1]

Is this fox news again? o well. I think the president knows what he's doing by holding back. He's a shrewd politician, and he still has lots of time.

[axe863]

Non-partisan Soros funded fact checkers.......

[abola2121]

FOX may be full of biased neocons(except Andrew Napolitano), but CNN embarrassed themselves on this one

[MrSn49]

What's "dumber;" a fact check of SNL, or an analysis of a fact check of SNL?

If CNN wasted their time, isn't it even more pointless for FOX to spend time discussing it?

Come on, FOX, we all get the point: you'd rather concern yourselves with your biases and opinions because the facts don't align with your personal beliefs.

[miles2424]

Cnn doing a fact check is way "dumber", what FOX did was to point out how stupid cnn is for that, dumb dumb, even John Stewart made fun of cnn for doing a fact check of the snl skit, does that mean John Steward is "pointless for discussing it" . Nice try dumb dumb!

[frio109]

Exactly. Especially when CNN uses a George Soros group Politifact.... AS their un-bias fact checkers........right and communist monkeys run the White House. Oh wait, uh.....

[toungetied98]

@miles2424 The sort of annoying thing is that Fox has to make it about politics. The funny thing about Tina Fey's impersonation of sarah palin was that the majority of her lines were actual quotes from Palin herself.

[gitcommand]

Do de do de do de do

GREG-A-LOGUE!

*flowers die*

da do de DONNNNNNNN

[hoodrichbadrich]

why are they fact checking a sketch comedy. what are they going to fact check next .....spongbob. damn they stole my joke. i swear i typed that b4 i heard him say that....lol...hahaha!

[ShredShogun]

If they can spend their time on that then there must be NOTHING important to do.

[kublycon]

But they did anaylized SNL themselves before...... so.......huh?

[midevalcheese]

The REAL issue is that the Federal Reserve has US on the hook for 23.7 TRILLION DOLLARS!

[frio109]

Nancy Pelosi, Satan in drag would double that amount if she can.

[gone2cast]

checking facts is the new crazy

[drummer703]

"I think they should analyze Spongebob." HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[ervin2]

Gotta love O'Reilly's quote; "fact checking or something crazy like that"

[Darksabre812]

Fact checking usually ruins O'Reilly's arguments, so he doesn't like it.

[SuburbanTwinkie]

Didn't O'Reilly freak over Jon Stewart just a few weeks ago?

[zzx2847]

Thank goodness we have the bright people at CNN to break it all down for us. SNL had me thinking there for a moment that Obama didn't accomplish anything. Whew.

[CJQuinn]

I'm a flaming liberal and that's still really retarded.

[rnvogel05]

How dare SNL criticize Obama. After all the hope he ahs brought us.

[waltermh111]

criticising is fine as long as its based on reality

[SICKCHICANO]

HERE COMES CNN TO THE RESCUE.

[KlPi79]

How DARE they check FACTS? On Fox News we would NEVER do such an outrageous thing!

LMAO

[ND066]

It was great when they fact-checked their characterization of Sarah Palin... oh, wait a minute. Nevermind. They just showed the clips and laughed.

[joshuag5732]

I remember in one sketch when Tina Fey quoted word for word what Sarah Palin said to Katie Curic. That was funny.

[USA4July1776]

The left is pathetic.

[Churchx77]

Oh FoxNews... They were crying crocodiles tears when they were making fun of Sarah Palin but now they're defending it because they made fun of Obama. They're all a bunch of partisans fuckers.

[HarrySeeword]

Not always "making fun." A lot were all out attacks. Lets not be completely hypocritcal. Obama has had a free ride thus far, free from criticism from the main-stream. This is apparently starting to change now.

[Churchx77]

Please... You're acting like Palin didnt deserve every bit of criticism she got. You cant compare one of the most popular president in history at the beginning of his term to an ignorant ex Senator of Alaska. But yeah that whole Obama cult thing always bugged me. Whether its with people or in the media.

[bleunt]

Yeah. It's stupid. Like when Bill argued against The Daily Show.

[pewpewmigoo]

Wait so Fox fact checks cnn for fact checking snl wtf is wrong with news in america.

[RetardedWa1rus]

@pewpewmigoo

Bill O Riley isn't real news.

[remixchild]

@RetardedWa1rus tell me something i dont know

[motorolarules]

Guess what? These dipshits are STILL talking about it. Stupid

[HaloGunner117]

Yeah, Reporting on Saturday night live is stupid and dumb... but what is reporting on that report?

[thenewvoice8]

I agree - both parties - indeed I'd say pretty much ALL the parties in ALL the countries are the same - the whole system is rigged and we ar ethe dumbfucks for allowing it.

ALthough it was odd to hear Bill-o say at teh start that Obama has done almost nothing - as no doubt later in the week he will be harping on about him taking away liberties, or being a commie socialist - when Obama is just like the rest of them

[ChunAsperEndao]

I agree that fact-checking the skit is quite dumb. However, O'Reilly insinuated that SNL is only as relevant to political news as any other television comedy. That itself is pretty dumb. SNL was being intentionally hyperbolic, and that's the point that it seems CNN effectively missed. However, the skit was political satire, and that has a definite place in the public discourse. It's not just like Spongebob.

[borntobelegend]

i hate both parties reps and dems, they work for their own party , not the people

[marcdaddy33]

with this comment alone, you are one of the more intelligent commentors on this user's videos... usually, I tend to see blindly loyal democrats who are unwilling to critique obama but reflexively attacks Fox News and Bush

BOTH the Republicans and the Democrats are REPUGNANT... glad that you have a brain to recognize this.

[TheRamenAvenger]

It's a lot easier to just say "both parties suck" than to actually engage your brain. It's an intellectually lazy position.

[marcdaddy33]

so blind party loyalty equates to engaging one's brain?

the democrats are acting no differently than the republicans did when bush was in the white house with their LACK of criticism of Obama and his continual reversal of his campaign promises.

I highly doubt we will ever leave Iraq during Obama's first term... he hasn't even repealed the Patriot Act.

[TheRamenAvenger]

I've read lots of articles that criticize Obama for the exact things you mention, and I don't read right-wing crapola.

Just because Dems are glad that Obama is President and not McCain or Bush or Palin doesn't mean they have blind party loyalty. I'm damn glad Obama's in there and I'm still hopeful that he will become a great president.

I know for sure that McCain 2008 would have been bad, we'd probably be bombing Iran now. So yeah, I think that there is a difference between the parties.

[hoodrichbadrich]

whats funny is every time obama gets criticized over spending or the czars or the wars the dems always say "bush did it too" or "bush started it." i thought obama was supposed to be about change so saying"bush did it" is a very poor excuse.

[NumberOneLevinFan]

Yeah, your right. Personally, I just like to say Ramen Avenger sucks and leave it at that. And it's so easy to come to that conclusion, that I don't feel intellectually lazy for saying it.

[pestie67]

I agree, but change the words "own party" to "themselves"

Voted

one mans progress is another mans clusterfuck
