SNL Nails it...Twice!

Tina Fey Spins Women's News in America on SNL

I love Tina Fey. I try never to miss "30 Rock". I never missed SNL when she was head writer & part of the ensemble. Last night, she hosted for the second time. She did hilarious skits & another spot on Palin impersonation.

I'm posting the news segment she did for Weekend Update where she always shined best.

Where do I go for Political POV?

 

Hosed   by Cole Scott

Thought I'd post some links to places I go for points of view on the news I'm getting from the networks, the NY Times, the Huffington Post, et.al.

the Field Negro   His profile indicates he is a lawyer. His POV is "candid discussions about race" Just started reading his posts.

Political Carnival  Hilarious posts on anything and everything political.  

FiveThirtyEight    Statistical breakdowns on everything from polls to stock market, etc.  A must stop for Type As.

Think Progress    Liberal POV striving for "Social and Economic Justice; Media Accountability;Healthy Communities; Global and Domestic Security".

The Raw Story    is "...an alternative news nexus....draws upon a panoply of news sources and select stories... most intriguing to an audience seeking news underplayed by mainstream media." 

FactCheck.org    the facts, ma'am, just the facts.  They check, clarify and/or correct statements made in the media.  A must for anyone following politics.  Check out Whoppers of 2009.

Favorite tv news show:  The Daily Show.  Nobody skewers news like Jon Stewart.

Favorite News Anchor:  Seth Meyers, Weekend Update.  Check out last night below.  Classic.

Michael Steele Buzzes on SNL

Anyone who pays attention to the news has seen the over-exposed Rush Limbaugh coverage about his speech to C-PAC last week. And, yes, that was a double entendre.

It never fails to annoy me when he is rewarded with the large amount of coverage he so obviously seeks. One brief bright note was RNC Chair Michael Steele's reference to his speech as "incendiary". That didn't last long. Steele was raked over the coals by many less objective members of his own party. He then had to make his apologies to Limbaugh.

A subdued and chastened Michael Steele appeared on SNL last night to explain...
