CNN simply reported on a funny sketch, because (at least to them) it's newsworthy that Huckabee can make fun of himself.

for anyone who hasn't seen the clip, it doesn't really come off that way.

Quote:

"SNL," known for its political humor, has been on the sidelines for nearly four months because of the Writers Guild of America strike. The political landscape has changed a great deal since then, with easy targets for the show's satire, like Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, dropping out of the Republican race, and Barack Obama overtaking Hillary Rodham Clinton on the Democratic side.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/2 ... index.html If anyones seen the clip in question, it was all meant to be a set up. But their report comes off as ...well ... someone not getting it.

The way I read the article was that CNN didn't get that it was a joke.

For anyone who hasn't seen the clip, doesn't know what SNL is, and who didn't make it far enough into the article to read this: Quote: "SNL," known for its political humor, has been on the sidelines for nearly four months because of the Writers Guild of America strike.

CNN reports on late night jokes all the time. Stop reading into it.

Perhaps they need new writers then, because this article was definitely ambiguous.

How was it poorly written? I don't feel like writers should have to insert "and, if you weren't aware, this sketch was actually a joke" when addressing bits from SNL.
