Saturday Night Live

The 2016 presidential race permanently changed the jokes broadcast after the nightly news. Late night comedians, fearing a Donald Trump victory, shifted their content aggressively to the Left. Jokes got massaged or simply nudged aside for talking points ripped out of a New York Times op-ed. In short, they took sides in the Trump-Clinton steel cage match. The only thing missing? Blue…

The smarmy hosts of the fake-news skit "Weekend Update" on NBC's Saturday Night Live made nasty jokes about rooting for "active bioweapon" Donald Trump to die of coronavirus. Their fake debate moderator also asked about Trump's health "out of a simmering rage for his incompetence and a sadistic hope that he is not well."

Another week has passed and journalists are again upset with the Trump/Pence 2020 team for how they handled a debate. This time, Chuck Todd hammered Mike Pence for being “evasive” and “deflecting.” Four years ago today, on October 10, 2016, things were exactly the same. NBC’s Todd was horrified when Donald Trump brought Bill Clinton’s sexual accusers to a debate.

Said MTS: "Daniel Cameron is no different than the sellout Negroes that sold our people into slavery."

Guest-hosting MSNBC's AM Joy show, Tiffany Cross says: "I watched the Republican convention and seeing the slew of black speakers that they had, it really did look like a modern-day minstrel show to me."

Of course the media develops romantic feelings for anyone willing to publicly disagree with President Trump. Remember the women of The View swooning over “Creepy Porn Lawyer” Michael Avenatti because he was talking trash about Trump? Well now Hollywood has succumbed to the same gushy romance in their own way, giving Brad Pitt an Emmy nod for his SNL portrayal of everyone’s beloved…

The New York Times on Sunday featured culture reporter Dave Itzkoff’s saddened profile of talk show host Jimmy Fallon, under fire this month after a “Saturday Night Live” sketch from 2000 resurfaced featuring the comedian in blackface portraying comedian Chris Rock. “Jimmy Fallon Is Sorry. That’s a First Step” made for a two-page, 3,500 word (!) spread. The online headline deck was…
