They've always had a liberal bent, but once in a while they go for humor over ideology and skewer liberals. Their 2008 spoof of TARP and Dodd-Frank was hilarious, because it ridiculed everyone who deserved to be ridiculed: Soros, Bush, Barney Frank, etc.
Unfortunately, the other 95% of the time SNL either peddles PC propaganda or adolescent attempts at humor and is hardly worth watching. Who knows, if SNL's writers, producers, and actors can step out of their PC comfort zone once in a while, maybe there's hope for some of the idiots out there protesting Trump's victory too.
this clip was the most SNL I’ve watched in years, well since they made fun of Sarah Palin to be exact. Yet in the 70s’ I’d even arrange my dating schedule so as not to miss it ;-)
