Not The Onion: This Is An ACTUAL Headline From CNN.

What in the LIBERAL HACK HELL is THIS, CNN?!

…WUT?

It’s hard to imagine a more comprehensive takedown of a political figure than the one Saturday Night Live executed on Brett Kavanaugh in its season premiere last month, at a time when the judge’s fate seemed to be hanging in the balance.

Damon added several layers of ridicule to Kavanaugh’s angry, aggressive testimony before the Senate, presenting him as a sputtering, sniffing, weeping, beer-loving caricature of judicial temperament. In light of the sexual assault accusations against him, which he has denied, the sketch included an especially devastating line: “I’m not backing down. . . I don’t know the meaning of the word ‘stop.’”

And then, a few hours before the dress rehearsal of the show’s next episode, Kavanaugh was confirmed as a justice to the Supreme Court.

OMG.

OMG they’re serious.

So someone thought this was worth writing, then someone at CNN thought this was worth publishing, and then someone ELSE at CNN’s social media team thought this was worth promoting?

NO ONE REALIZED HOW LAUGHABLY STUPID IT WAS?!

I just stopped by for the ratio

AS DID WE ALL.

What is a “ratio?” you may ask.

It’s Twitter-speak for “WAY more people felt the need to comment letting the poster know how STUPID this is, than liked the tweet.”

So…

And the ratio is INSANE:

With comments like these:

Because it was a comedy skit and Matt Damon is not a Senator? Or lack of a time machine as the skit aired after Kavanaugh was sworn in?

Um. Was it supposed to?

Genuinely, what were you hoping to accomplish by hitting publish here? Outrage clicks? Did you think a salient point was being made? In a world where there are far more stories than time to read them in what made y’all think this was worth anyone, including the author’s, time?
