It doesn’t tell us much about “SNL,” which calls itself a comedy show but now functions to reinforce liberal political sensibilities.

So true. The show has always been left-leaning, but, at some point, maybe with the advent of Obama (the first president the show chose not to skewer), it descended into full-blown left-wing propaganda. Compare SNL's send-up of the Clarence Thomas hearings in 1991. The target of that sketch wasn't so much Clarence Thomas as it was the windbag senators of both parties and their own less-than-stellar sexual ethics. The bit makes fun of Strom Thurmond AND Ted Kennedy. Now, though, it's all one way. The left is lionized while the right is demonized.

Even Dana Carvey’s George Bush imitation was somewhat complementary to him.
