If a skit on SNL changes the course of American politics, we deserve to be governed by an idiocracy.

I hear what you are saying, but in this particular instance SNL was on the nose. For months we’ve had people like Chris Matthews in rapture over Obama declaring how listening to Obama sent a chill up his leg. Every possible softball got thrown to Obama by the press.
The SNL skit showing the Clinton/Obama debate where “Tim Russert” chose from the audience Obama Girl to sing a love song to Obama, “Russert” swaying along in time, put the spotlight on a fair issue, ie the press being in the tank for one candidate over the other.
btw this isn’t the first time. Don’t you recall the Al Gore “lockbox” skits in the 2000 election? That hurt Al. Also I think Ford was beaten in 1976 by Chevy Chase on SNL every week portraying Ford as braindead.
