On Thursday, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" spin-off "Weekend Update
Thursday" mocked President Obama as being willing to discuss
healthcare reform on virtually any cable channel that will have him --
except, of course, Fox News.
Although the opening skit did poke fun at FNC's Glenn Beck, the real
joke was that the President, having just done Sunday interviews on
ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and Univision, wanted to "get the healthcare
message out to as wide an audience as possible. I don't want to shut
anyone out of this debate."
After that statement, Fred Armisen playing Obama sat down with
representatives from ESPN, Bravo, MTV, The Food Network, and even a
teenage vampire from The CW, but continually said "No" to meeting with
anyone from Fox News (video embedded below the fold):

The reason for not going on Fox News was made rather clear: the
Glenn Beck bit!
