Michaels denies "SNL" is pro-Clinton
The show has been perceived as boosting Hillary Clinton's campaign, but its executive producer says that was unintentional.

  • The denial comes as a bit of a surprise

    The Tina Fey sketch was funny, I'll admit. But the impact of having Clinton on the week before the Ohio and Pennsylvania primaries certainly made a difference. They could have had Obama on, right?

    Last week, there was a sketch related to the "3 A.M." ad (as I mentioned in a previous post) which hit hard on the Clinton line of Obama's "inexperience". It showed Clinton counseling an inept President Obama on the phone at 3 A.M. during a crisis. Satire certainly has it's place, but that seemed like a thinly veiled political hit job. I've been watching SNL since I was seven years old and I can't recall a sketch that biased.

    If SNL wants to have a Clinton bias, fine. But at least be open about it.
