Donald Trump Again Attacks ‘Saturday Night Live’: ‘Always a Complete Hit Job’
Variety ^ | 2017-01-15 | Alex Stedman

In a practice that’s almost become routine, President-elect Donald Trump has fired back at NBC and “Saturday Night Live” after this weekend’s episode that parodied his Wednesday press conference.

“.@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!,” Trump tweeted on Sunday afternoon.

His tweet comes just a day after Alec Baldwin reprised his popular Trump impression, taking on such subjects as Obamacare and his conflicts of interest. The cold open also poked fun at the “golden showers” claim in the unverified Russian dossier that was released this week, letting loose a stream of not-so-subtle urination puns.

It’s only the latest in Trump’s feud with “SNL” — in fact, it’s not even the first time Trump has accused the NBC show of a “hit job.” He’s publicly blasted the show, particularly Baldwin’s take on him, for the past few months. For his part, Baldwin offered to stop doing the impression… if Trump would release his tax returns.

Most recently, during a “Today” show interview in December, Trump said “SNL” was “a good show” when he hosted in November 2015, “but it’s not a good show anymore.” “There’s nothing funny about it, he added. “The skits are terrible.”

Great, Trump once again goes right around the lying media.

It's funny, all the corrupt collusive lying networks have been reduced to getting their news stories from the Internet.

They no longer control the news. It's wonderful.☺

SNL is part of the LSM and as such needs to be lambasted mercilessly.

No passes for leftist drivel anymore....

I knew there was a good reason over 10 years ago we stopped watching that leftist political propaganda. I was right yet again!

Just for you:

Auburn grad, Alabama grad, and Georgia grad in a bar...

They all go to the bathroom at the same time...When finished, the Georgia grad gets a tiny bit of soap and barely turns on the water...After rinsing, he looks at the others and says, “At Georgia, they taught us thriftiness...”

The Alabama grad gets a handful of soap, turns the water full and scrubs up to his elbows...He says, “At Alabama, they taught us cleanliness...”

The Auburn grad walk.The others say “You not gonna wash?”

The Auburn grad says, “At Auburn, they taught us not to piss on our hands...”

Yeah, when the SNL guy did his really lame Obama impression, he was usually more of the straight guy (which is ALSO ironic).

I'd have loved to see some comedian make fun of Obama for...

-oversized ears.

-Not being able to saying anything above a 3rd grade level without a teleprompter.

Did anyone notice that Baldwin’s Trump was wearing a Russian flag lapel pin?
