What do you guys think about the controversy surrounding last week's Saturday Night Live Skit? NBC took it down and put a censored version back up today. Check it out:

I don't know about censorship, but those SNL skits are so funny.

Did you see the original one with Nancy Pelosi kissing up to the Sandlers and the subtitles?

Glad to know you are laughing, but honestly- do you have any idea what the person who posted this message is talking about?

I wasn't up either, but I watched it on the internet the next day. Then it disappeared....

We are talking about NBC. NBC is the furthest left of all the main stream press. I'm sure if NBC had known ahead of time they would have forced SNL not to do it. Once the damage was done, all they could do was tone it down some.

That's not a new rule. The main stream press has had a double standard for as long as I can remember. Fortunately for the "silent majority", there are more people with conservative views from both parties than there are for the extreme left wing views that the MSM loves.
