I would recommend that no DUer ever watch Saturday Night Live again

[Politics_Guy25]

Don't give them the ratings. Don't give them by extension the advertising dollars. This is the 3rd time in 3 weeks that they are shilling for Mccain. I was wondering. What can I do? I can stop watching? I urge all of you to stop watching as well. Let's help their ratings plummet.

[Wetzelbill]

1. They're still on?

[Mrs. Overall]

2. You're still here?

[vanderBeth]

3. No problem

They stopped being funny a while ago.

[azmouse]

4. Haven't watch SNL in more than 20 years.

That show stopped being funny when the original crew left.

[Mz Pip]

5. I'm never up that late.

I TIVOed SNL for the Tina Fey segments but haven't watched the show in years and years.

But if people do like the show I see no reason to boycott it. McCain isn't going to win this election because of a SNL appearance.

[Thrill]

6. I thought Lorne Michaels was an Obama supporter

He's full of shit for doing this

[Politics_Guy25]

11. Exactly Brent

And they did this during the primaries as well. Trying to tilt the scales. I'm sick of it. One Palin appearane was MORE THAN ENOUGH.

[nichomachus]

7. I wastch SNL once in a blue moon

but every time I do, it's a rereun -- AND it's one I've seen before.

I have no idea how they do that. It's the weirdest thing.

For giggles, I watch Graham Norton. Now, he's funny.

[SidDithers]

8. How have they been shilling for McCain?...

IMO, Tina Fey, with her amazing skewering of Palin, has had a huge impact on this election. She and SNL have made Palin look like a completely unqualified, vacuous moran.

If that's "shilling for McCain", I'd hate to see what really going after him would be like.

23. Right. Palin looked like a fool (not too surprising).

I don't watch SNL any more, but I think that if Palin's appearance there had any influence at all, it was negative.

[knixphan]

9. And tell your families to lay off Fox while you're at it.

[codjh9]

10. OK, so I was traveling and missed the last 2 Thu. night editions, but when did they ever

pump McCain? They were making fun of McCain/Palin every time I've watched. ???

[Tesibria]

13. i totally agree w/ you - it's SNL that "solidified" popular disdain for Palin ...

by showing her for what she is.

I say BRING it ON .. I LOVE when SNL invites republicans on.... it only helps us!

[Politics_Guy25]

15. 4 examples

1. Right before the OH/TX primaries, their SNL skit accused the media of being biased in favor of Obama. Led towards a huge negative swing in media coverage of Obama before those critical primaries.
2. Having Palin on at all.
3. They made fun of Murtha and Kerry's comments last week.
4. Having Mcain on just 3 days before the vote.

They are dead to me now.

[rcrush]

12. Nah I'll still watch.

I like to laugh.

[Kajsa]

14. They aren't promoting McCain.

Far from it!

They've done more to discredit Palin through satire,
than any other media source,
EVEN though she was on their show a few weeks back.

[Downtown Hound]

16. I doubt they're shilling for McCain

A better reason to not watch that show is because it has sucked donkey balls for many years now.

29. he gives out his share of cash

Good for him, at least he's supporting what he believes in.

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. Haven't watched it for 20 years.

[MadBadger]

19. WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG...WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

[Vinca]

21. How do you know it's shilling if it hasn't been aired yet?

It's possible it will be a skewering.

[ben_meyers]

22. If a DUer falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it,

do they make a sound?

[hlthe2b]

24. SNL has hardly "helped" McPalin camp....Tina Fey's portrayal

of Palin was what got people to finally look past the superficial at this incredibly ignorant woman. Then they gave her enough rope to hang herself with her own appearance....

McShame will appear, but I seriously doubt he will win any converts from the exposure...

[DrToast]

25. Yeah, SNL gets one of the biggest assists of the year

Tina Fey ruined Sarah Palin. Granted, Palin had a lot to do with it, but SNL helped drive that point home.

[DuaneBidoux]

26. Come on and grow up. They've give me so many laughs in the last three months big shit

if they say something bad about my candidate (or anybody for that matter).

[stray cat]

27. Its a comedy show - McCain has been on the Daily Show as well

are you going to boycott all comedy shows?

[GoesTo11]

28. People watched in order to see Fey / Palin. McCain? Meh.
