Last night's episode of SNL featured many humorous skits with Taylor Swift but in the following segment spoofing Fox News Swift was absent. Either Swift did not fit in with to the skit or she is a big fan of Fox News.
The skit attempted to make fun of Fox News for their coverage of the 2009 election races in Virginia and New Jersey. In the skit conservatives like Karl Rove are given time to declare the 2009 election a referendum in the negative toward President Obama while the Democratic is largely cutoff from the debate. In addition the Fox News analyst seem to be overjoyed with the Republican victories while officially declaring President Obama a lame duck President.
As is pointed out in the segment many in fact viewed the New Jersey as more of a condemnation of John Corzine than anything having to do with President Obama. The victory of Democrat Bill Owens in New York's 23rd Congressional District was also viewed as a blow to conservatives by many. Still the skit is undoubtedly an humorous exaggeration of what even Fox News has admitted to be a conservative bias.
