SNL Takes the NY Times & Reporters to Task re Sarah Palin
Saturday Night Live ^ | 08/20/2008 | NBC's SNL Staff

Posted on 09/21/2008 8:01:45 AM PDT by DoughtyOne

On last nights Saturday Night Live, there was an eight minute clip that focused on the NY Times coverage of Sarah Palin.

The skit addressed a fictional meeting where the Peter Conolly Assignment Editor of the NY Times explains his plans to send 50 reporters to Alaska, to dig dirt on the Palins.

The media may try to play this off as SNL bringing up the topic of incest in the Palin household.  The real story is that SNL framed the NY Times and it's staff for precisely what kind of tactics they have used against the Palins so far.  The management and the reporters for the times were skewered here, and it was amazingly over the top.

Folks, this was a great skit.  You'll have to see it to believe it, and I have posted the 8:04 minute clip on YouTube for you to see.

Enjoy.

I think the McCain skit went up quick because it was the first skit of the show. The NYT Palin clip was eight minutes long, and wouldn’t have fit there. They may have wanted to hide it too, but it did air and millions did get to see it.

I’m sorry that you put so much effort into the video and then it was taken down.

Thanks for trying to make it possible for more of us to see it.
