You know it’s bad when Saturday Night Live equates your national “news” network with a Beavis and Butthead skit…

Nexstar is throwing a lot of money and has very little to show for it. They are making their local stations spend significant local time on promotion for a channel that no one watches… except for the comedy writers at SNL who find humor in how bad NewsNation is.

How was that skit meant to be a slam against NewsNation? They could have selected any other news outlet and it would have been the same exact skit. Did you even watch it?

If I need to explain it to you, you might be working too hard to justify why the skit might tarnish NewsNation’s “sterling” image

I'm sure Uncle Perry Sook was laughing about that skit and getting NewsNation some publicly which is always good.

Yes, no doubt everyone who watched that skit had the reaction "Oh man they really burned NewsNation!"

What exactly was the burn? That the NewsNation anchor didn't know who Beavis and Butthead were? That two people in the audience resembled Beavis and Butthead?
