CNN Fact Checks SNL Skit of Chairman Maobama
« on: October 06, 2009, 03:07:27 PM »
In case you missed it SNL did a mildly funny spoof of The ONE last Saturday night.  CNN's Wolf Blitzer decides that SNL needs to be Fact Checked.

And in other Breaking News Fact Checks from CNN...Wolf Blitzer has learned that the parrot is, in fact, deceased...it is...an ex-parrot.





Can anyone imagine CNN actually Fact Checking an SNL spoof of Sarah Palin?  Or, Pres. Bush?

Not only did they never fact check all the slams on Bush, the mainstream media made up alot of it.

Remember the whole Bush military thing from good old Dan Rather
