Scrubbed SNL skit from'98 shows how little things have changed.
In SPITE of GE's efforts to suppress the skit, it survives in social media.

1. Wow.
SNL is not nearly as cutting edge now, is it? Well, I never watch it anymore but from I hear it isn't. Thanks for posting this.

4. I didn't learn about media conglomeration until after SCOTUS threw down the gauntlet in 2000
that led this country into a "Twilight Zone" marathon. People tend to get curious enough to seek answers when "up" is continuously being reported as "down".

Thanks for the clip, nola!

11. Yeah, the 1996 TeleCom Act was truly the beginning of the end...
Much of what we despise in today's media was born from that law...

10. SNL has "Conspiracy Theory Rock" pulled from youtube every few months as well
nice to see their stance on censorship hasn't changed. :sarcasm:

It can always be found here if it gets pulled from youtube: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6t515_conspiracy-theory-rock_shortfilms

12. It's true people have been having varying degrees of difficulty finding it.
Wonder how that works. I have no idea how someone pulls someone else's stuff. I hope they keep reposting it, though. It is indeed humerous, but not funny.
