SNL: Too Political

Saturday Night Live, like all the network late night talk shows and nearly all other product from the entertainment industry, presents an anti-Trump, anti-conservative agenda. The Leftist "news" media spend all day every day hating on Trump.

They think intentionally alienating half the country is good business.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

[T]here's a large minority of Americans who view the show as too political, a new Hollywood Reporter/Morning Consult poll finds. Among respondents, 39 percent agreed with the sentiment that the series "has gotten too political," while 30 percent disagree.

Broken down by party affiliation, 60 percent of Democrats polled in the survey said that they don't mind the political leaning of SNL, while 52 percent of Republicans dislike the slant of the series when it delves into politics.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, more Americans view Saturday Night Live as left-leaning show than politically neutral. About 48 percent said the series is "more liberal" politically, while only 5 percent describe the show as "more conservative," and 10 percent said SNL has "no political lean." (The poll was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 2,201 adults from March 7 to 10.)

"Viewers agree with President Trump that Saturday Night Live has a liberal bias but are divided on whether the program has too many political skits," said Tyler Sinclair, Morning Consult’s vice president. "Notably, 37 percent of Americans say the program has the right amount of politics in its sketches, while 31 percent say it has too much and 4 percent say too little. However, the results vary across partisan lines. Over half of Republicans (55 percent) say the program incorporates too much politics; only 14 percent of Democrats say the same."

Most likely, large numbers of conservatives gave up on the show long ago. I have lots of anecdotal evidence of that.

The numbers in the survey probably provide an inadequate representation.

SNL's modus operandi - setting out to mock half the country, promoting Democrats/Socialists, and pillorying conservative viewers, in addition to not being funny - explains why so many Americans no longer watch.
