Try arguing that NBC isn’t an “outlet for the Democrats” now, said Erick Erickson in the RedState blog. The network pulled a "Saturday Night Live" skit lampooning Democrats for blocking oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The clip is back (click here for the NBC video), but in a version edited to be more palatable to liberals.
Now, now, said Jay Tea at the WhizBang blog. The only real change in the edited version was the removal of a caption saying “people who should be shot” that originally appeared under two people playing Democratic boosters Herbert and Marion Sandler, who made a bundle off of subprime mortgages. The skit “went overboard,” and it had to be fixed.
