Enjoy this little example of "the Narrative"
First, the Original Saturday Night Live Skit:
Then CNN Fact Checking the Skit. (Yes, you read that right)
Then to drive home the point: other things CNN could Fact check: (From IMAO.US)
“CNN found no baseball team with player names like Who, What, or I Don’t Know. This was most likely propaganda based on fear of immigrants.”
CNN Fact Check: “At no point in history has England had a Ministry of Silly Walks.”
CNN Fact Check: “It is unlikely a motivational speaker who lived in a van down by the river would be able to acquire those speaking jobs.”
CNN Fact Check: "the “More Cowbell” sketch as has huge inaccuracies in it about the Blue Oyster Cult. Bruce Dickinson was actually quite neutral on the inclusion of cowbell in songs he produced.”
CNN Fact Check: Sean Connery has never been on Jeopardy and actually has high regard for Alex Trebek’s mother.”
Comedy doesn't need to be fact checked. (Did they Fact check the Sarah Palin Sketches?) But those who are trying to build and preserve the cult of personality around their Savior/Marxist Leader can brook no dissent, even in jest. I once thought I would be happy when the Left "found religion", but alas I was wrong. The Left has absolute religious faith in One Government, under Obama, Indivisible, with Handouts and Personal Irresponsibility for all who Liberals think Matter.
