CNN did it in 2010, now the lapdog Washington Post scrambled to clarify what Saturday Night Live got right and what it got wrong while poking fun at Obama’s executive action on immigration. People were quick to point out how selective the media is when it comes to questioning the facts in a presidential parody.

@washingtonpost Did you ever "fact check" a comedy skit that satirized the previous administration?

@notropis01 @ValTheeGal Fact checking a comedy satire show. Really sad. How far @washingtonpost has fallen to protect obama.

@washingtonpost Interesting. I don't remember factchecking SNL when it skewers Republicans. It's like you guys are basis or something.

@dblozik Exactly! How many Stewart, Colbert, et al, skits re Bush or Romney were fact-checked by any in #MSM? @notropis01 @washingtonpost
