Sorry. No interest. Nothing personal SMGFan.

I watched SNL from the mid-70s when it began until the best comics left in the mid-80s. ....Since then, it’s been nothing but trashy left wing political garbage, IMO, so I only occasionally check in at the beginning to see the ‘tone’ of the program and then switch off to something else.

I have no TV so my "research" is limited to radio and to some extent the Internet.

Like many media presentations SNL is no doubt described as nonpartisan. I know that they have done some pretty funny parodies of Lefties -- just enough I suppose so in their feeeeeeeeeeeeeelings it makes them "nonpartisan."

My radio druthers are proudly-boasting-biased conservative talk radio; but I do listen to "nonpartisan" shows like Imus and CoastToCoastAM. Like SNL those shows have a large audience of apolitical folks who vote.

A disturbing but not surprising pattern is emerging this election year. I don't have examples for SNL but I bet it is the same.

Imus started the year claiming to be for Gov. Romney and mildly critical of President Obama. I know it is his schtick to say nasty things but he is serious about his hatred of Gingrich ("skunk vomit"), his contempt (bordering on hatred) for Santorum, and his view of Paul as a nutcase.

Now Romney is "stupid dull suit" and Obama is not always right but popular. Hint, hint, dear listener.

CoastToCoastAM flirted with criticism of President Obama (once) over the National Defense Allocation Act's authorizing the government to imprison citizens without any Constitutional rights by ordering the U.S. military to do it.

Saturday night C2C was snuggled comfortably back in the arms of its 9/11, "Bush brought down the Towers" Truthers and "Bush the election-stealing, war criminal" fanatics. The latter urging listeners to help protect President Obama and Att. General Holder from their Republican critics in Congress. Hint, hint, dear listener.
