BTW, my attitude is longstanding.....their power is corrosive, their myth-making is hypnotic. They are poison to us, our children and young people.
We should give them no quarter, ever.
Their incest skit was done to foist another bag of freakishness on Palin...it had zero to do with the NYT, (who is on their side).
Again, my attitude has evidence to back it up.
Look at the polls.
Look at the elections.
Look at the actual record of the reputations that SNL/MSM have ruined. This “funny” stuff sticks forever.
And tell me where Conservatives have any influence?
They public says they don't like negative ads either, but they work everytime.....as does the MSM.
That is absurd. They were trashing the Times on a number of levels, but you think them using this extreme subject matter would stick to Palin, but not the Times.
Once again, did you view the video. Please tell me you didn't, because I don't want to know you did and still think along these lines.
I don't want to pile on too much, since you already have your critics, but even if SNL intended it to be a slam on Palin, which I would argue it isn't , its effect is entirely to bash the press, and Palin escapes scott free. In fact, they are barely even in the sketch.
It was almost a modern comedic version of the parable between Jesus, the prostitute, and the cynical crowd that wanted her to be stoned. The crowd was willing to stone Palin, but ended up disintegrating because no one among them could be found to throw the first stone. The one who accuses Todd of incest is himself revealed to be a pre-op transsexual who can't make the trip to Alaska because there are probably no facilities for him there.
One could also argue that this was Blazing Saddles style vulgarity. That movie was filled with racism towards the black Sheriff Bart, but none of it was allow to stick to him. It would always backfire on the villans, or the ignorant townsfolk, which was the comedic point.
