I thought of that same sketch as I was watching this one. I couldn't believe they were so dead on in skewering the media, in this case, the NY Times specifically.

And for the people who think incest is just beyond the pale as a topic, there was never any suggestion that there was incest in the Palin family for real. It's BECAUSE incest is the worst thing you can accuse someone of, particularly when you have no evidence or even a suggestion that it's true, that they chose it as the thing the NY Times accused the Palins of. They were being outrageous to satirize the outrageous bias and lies of the NY Times, not to attack the Palins. They showed the reporters just making the charge up out of thin air. Watch the sketch before you leap to conclusions. It will probably be on NBC.com if it isn't already. Once you see how they portrayed the NY Slimes reporters, maybe you'll understand that they were on our side with this one. And the punchline of the reporter winning a Pulitzer Prize for an obviously unsupported slanderous lie about a Republican was the perfect capper.

I knew the daily kos did the incest bit, but didn’t know about the times.

Are you kidding me? They actually put that in a news story?
