Who fact checks SNL?

The forever controversial and comedic Saturday Night Live recently produced a skit with President Obama and his list of things he promised but had not yet accomplished. CNN and FOX news have gone back and forth on what was said on the show. The SNL claims that President Obama in his first 9 months of his presidency has "Accomplished Nothing," has sent a firestorm of tweets, blogs, and random comments flooding the Internet and media channels. The following was shown on the list: Close Guantanamo Bay (Not Done), Out of Iraq (Not Done), Make Improvements in War In Afghanistan (Worse), Health care Reform (Hell No), Global Warming (Not Done), Immigration reform, etc. CNN in addition to a couple of other partisan and non-partisan outlets actually decided to fact check SNL. That seems to be a first. Now, depending on what channel you watch SNL was either right or wrong, but the media giants have cast the illusion that SNL speaks for the masses. When special interest groups, politicians, and the media start using comedic performances as a policy reference or societal gauge, then I believe we have a greater issue. That SNL skit coverage was a blatant form of "intotainment" and "dramatization" by various mediums to cover a controversial situation without having to do the skit themselves. The ability to sensationalize a television show and give it credibility by fact checking it shows that the bureaucratic nature of the mass media is to piggy back on substantiated and/or unsubstantiated claims made by various outlets in hopes that it will result in a ratings increase.
