SNL will mock anyone in the news. It's what they do. Davidson's "appearances" on the Evening News spot is as a character who is kinda dumb and politically incorrect and that is as funny as the stuff he says. It's a double joke.
I absolutely cannot understand this whining about the guy with the eye patch after all the abysmal things the right wingers here said about John McCain after his Obamacare vote and again as he lay dying.
The idea of mocking "anyone in the news" is unacceptable. If you had an ounce of decency, you would condemn this disgrace, not praise it.
As for McCain, according to his fellow POWs, he was a traitor, nicknamed "Songbird", and has kept locked up all records of his incarceration for decades, to hide the truth.

It's called satire. Goes back to Aesop.
Get educated and take the stick out of your ass.
What happened on SNL is NOT called satire, but what's spewing out of your wrinkled hole IS called hypocrisy.
Get educated and then get some decency.
You aren't the boss of me.
And yes, SNL is satire.
I didn't find the Davidson joke funny OR highly offensive. So sue me. Or call me a hypocrite. Whatever.
Really? I say to you the same thing you said to someone else, and you're going to go with "You're not the boss of me"? Not only is that infantile, I would like to point out that YOU "are not the boss of" protectionist, but that didn't stop you from issuing lofty orders. So once again, you paint yourself as a hypocrite. And while we're trotting out trite, childish cliches, I guess this is a good time to mention that if you can't take it, don't dish it out.
Meanwhile, Mrs. "Educate yourself" Hypocrite, here's the education you manifestly lack:
satire
noun
sat·ire | \ˈsa-ˌtī(-ə)r \
Definition of satire
1: a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn
2:
trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly
I got that from this thing called a "dictionary". I realize looking up the meanings of words is harder work than simply inventing one on the spot to suit you, but it turns out that words have actual meanings beyond the vague mouthings of illiterate geezers like you.
There is nothing satirical about insulting people, which is all the dickless weasel you're so desperate to defend did.
I don't call you a hypocrite because you "didn't find it funny". I don't even CARE if you found it funny, no matter how important you apparently think that is. I call you a hypocrite because every word you ever post is hypocritical.
What happened on SNL was just exactly as wrong as what Trump said about John McCain. EXACTLY as wrong. Any word you say which tries to deny or dismiss that brands you a hypocrite. Period. End of discussion.
