Is this real or satire? Did CNN really do a fact check story about a comedy skit poking fun at Obama? Where in the sam hill is their sense of humor? Are they really concerned that people will see skits like this and not think as highly of Obama? Did they ever do fact checking when Bush was lampooned????????

I didn't click on the link to see if it's real or not.

I do remember the liberal outrage last season when they lampooned NY's governor Paterson on the show. SNL played up his blindness and had him roaming all over the set bumping into things.

However, that was the "B-joke" -- the real joke was that it was Amy Poehler's last show and she was supposed to be doing a serious "thank you and good-bye" but the NY governor was bumbling all over the set and blocking her camera shots. Typical Amy Poehler self-deprecating humor that used the NY governor as a prop for the joke.

People were still outraged, though.
