+Brandon Lyons Yeah, this skit satirized all 3 of them. Some people need to not get so bent out of shape over a comedy segment. Comedy rarely ever portrays someone in a positive light.

[@BrandonLyons1]

+chickendinner2012 yes still this show is supposed to be satire so clearly they arent going to show any of the candidates or celebrities in a great betrayal their goal is to make them funny. and yes of course a lot of times they fail but it doesn't take away from the point that this is satire.

[@stevenh4797]

+Brandon Lyons yes, some of what you are saying, but I think there's more to it. there's satire, and there's bullying. this has some satire, but also quite a bit of bullying... making fun of someone based on appearance, age, etc.satire makes fun of things while underscoring something true (like the Hillary skit, where SNL Hillary laments about waiting too long to speak up for LGBT rights, "bartender Val" (real Hillary) says ~"no, no, you got there, that's what counts", and SNL Hillary responds with lament, "but, no, I could have done it sooner" and winks at real Clinton). the unelectable suggestion may be a narrative some in the corporate media are trying to sell, but polls of Bernie vs. GOP leading candidates generally show him doing better than Hillary... it's drawing attention to something false. that may or may not be intentional (propaganda), but it is not satire.

[@GlaciarBlue]

+SirLagsalott an independent study, which none of the networks disputed found off the charts disparity in coverage. The most obvious, ABC evening News devoted 81 minutes to Trump from the start of the campaign through November, Sanders, 20 seconds. literally. this isn't about victimhood, this is about awareness of how the influence of money is a pollutant in the democratic process.

[@GlaciarBlue]

not at all. Our media is 90% owned by 6 enormous corporations. I think their coverage represents their putting their perceived corporate interests ahead of informing the public. I don't think they are "bad" or "evil", but I do think it's a form of pollution of the public conversation we are all better off knowing about.

That's why it's a caricature impression. They take people's basic personality and blow it out of proportion for the sake of humor. That's the premise of impession humor. If it was spot-on, it just wouldn't be funny unless the writing was super clever and that's never going to happen.
