Does SNL have an Alec Baldwin problem?


https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/02/arts/television/alec-baldwin-woody-allen-dylan-farrow.html

Baldwin, who reprised his President Trump impression on SNL this weekend, has been a vocal defender of accused sexual abusers like James Toback and Woody Allen while also sparring with Rose McGowan and Allen’s daughter, Dylan Farrow. As a result, he may be undercutting his satirical take on Trump, according to The New York Times’ Dave Itzkoff. “To their growing discomfort, some viewers and critics are finding Mr. Baldwin’s behavior to be offensive,” says Itzkoff. “They feel it is undercutting his satirical commentary on Mr. Trump and reveals a tone-deafness on the part of Mr. Baldwin and, by extension, Saturday Night Live.” He adds: “What’s worse, these critics say, is that in this #MeToo moment, Mr. Baldwin epitomizes a classic insincere male ally: With his star turns on SNL, his scalding portrayal of Mr. Trump and his own pledges to be more conscientious about how he treats women, he has enjoyed the benefits of associating with this progressive, female-positive movement while falling short of its values.”

I find it sort of ironic and hypocritical that SNL will treat Chevy Chase as a semi-persona non grata (he was finally banned from hosting again back in the late '90s due to his asshole behavior), yet Alec Baldwin is almost untouchable. Maybe in Alec's case, he doesn't display his asshole tendencies backstage on SNL like Chevy Chase or Steven Seagal did.

I ignore SNL. It's a cesspool of braindead, delusional Far Left Bullshit.

Yet I see now,that was 10 days ago. Let's hope you've retained a similar sensibility over that time.
