STUDY: SNL Jokes About Conservatives Jump To 91 Percent In Season 51
A new NewsBusters study found that 91 percent of Weekend Update political jokes this season targeted conservatives.
Donald Trump alone was the target of more than 100 jokes, showing how overwhelmingly one-sided SNL’s political humor has become.
The study found conservatives dominated both the cold opens and Weekend Update segments, while liberals received comparatively little scrutiny.
SNL’s political comedy no longer reflects broad satire and instead functions as partisan activism aimed almost entirely at the Right.
SPECIAL REPORT: Yahoo News. Fake News or Fake Re-Balance?
A new MRC Free Speech America report argues Yahoo News is attempting to rebrand itself as politically balanced while continuing to amplify left-leaning narratives.
The report found Yahoo News heavily relied on liberal sources and perspectives during major political coverage despite public claims of neutrality.
Critics say Big Tech and legacy media outlets increasingly use “neutrality” branding as cover while still shaping coverage through selective story choice and framing.
The study raises broader concerns about whether Americans can trust major digital news platforms to provide fair and balanced political reporting.
The View Demands Votes for Democrats If Americans Want to Avoid ‘End of Democracy’
The hosts of ABC’s The View claimed Americans must vote for Democrats in order to prevent what they described as the “end of democracy.”
The rhetoric reflects escalating fear-based messaging from liberal media figures ahead of the 2026 election cycle.
The segment framed Republican victories as existential threats while offering little substantive debate over policy differences between the parties.
This kind of coverage reinforces concerns that corporate media personalities increasingly function as political activists rather than neutral commentators.
