During the 2008 presidential elections, political satire was all the rage. In fact Tina Fey's impression of then GOP VP candidate was so popular, that most people actually believed it was Sarah Palin who said, "I can see Russia from my house." The Saturday Night Live skits about the elections were so talked about, Sarah Palin and John McCain visited the show themselves.
After the elections, SNL featured a video, calling out President Obama and suggesting that his two accomplishments so far were "jack" and "squat." Oh, also that he killed a fly on television.
I was curious to see what political satire was like in other countries. I found an Israeli television show called Eretz Nehederet, which is a mix between The Daily Show and SNL.
Check out this video pointing out bias in the BBC's reporting of Israel.
