Even the liberal writers of “Saturday Night Live” admitted that ABC News’ presidential debate was “biased,” taking a swipe at the Disney-owned network in the show’s season premiere.

NBC’s long-running sketch comedy show began its cold open Saturday with cast member Andrew Dismukes appearing as “World News Tonight” anchor and debate co-host David Muir.

“I was hoping that the takeaway from the debate I moderated would be my striking good looks, but unfortunately the question was whether or not I was biased against the Democrats, which… well,” Dismukes’ Muir told viewers and sparked laughter from the audience.

ABC News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

“SNL” also appeared to downplay the first assassination attempt against former President Trump, with cast member James Austin Johnson mocking him in a rally speech.

“Where the hell is everyone going?” Where are you going? I see you trying to leave but the doors are locked. Come back – we’ll have fun. We love my rallies, except when someone goes Bing “Bing, bing, bing right at me,” Johnson said as Trump. “You know this happened because of the rhetoric of the radical left. They say that I blame the Democrats for inciting violence, that’s the pot that calls the cauldron black, but honestly I didn’t know the cauldron was black until recently. I thought. “The cauldron was Indian, but then it turned black.”

Additionally, Colin Jost joked during the “Weekend Update” segment that he “started to worry about the bullet hitting a little more than just the ear” after playing a clip of Trump saying he had one better “body” than President Biden a current rally.

TRUMP BEATS ABC NEWS, ‘EASY’ DAVID MUIR, CAUSES NETWORK TO VIOLATE DEBATE AGREEMENT WITH FACT CHECKS

ABC News faced intense backlash for its nonpartisan debate, in which Muir and co-host Linsey Davis repeatedly fact-checked Trump and asked him far more pointed questions than Vice President Kamala Harris, who experienced no hostility from the moderators.

Last Thursday, Trump renewed his attacks on Muir and his network during a press conference.

“And during the debate I mentioned that and David Muir, a real lightweight,” Trump said. “I had one against three, but I think we did great. But David Muir from ABC, Fake News, when I said that crime was very high in our country, he corrected me, he corrected me and so much and it was right, what.” I said: He did (Vice President Kamala Harris) not corrected once, and what she said was wrong, absolutely wrong – Charlottesville, she was wrong, all the different things, almost everything she said, and she was never corrected.

“But he corrected me on the crime. He said, ‘No, no, crime hasn’t gone up.’ I said crime has increased massively. He said: “I want to put it on record that crime has not increased.”

Trump further claimed that ABC News broke the “deal” they made leading up to the debate.

“You don’t know this, but we had a deal with ABC that there would be no corrections whatsoever and they violated the deal. Why? Because they are bad people and fake news,” Trump said. “So he did it to me many times during the debate. He violated the deal. That’s the deal, because you can take anything and try to make stories out of it. We had a deal where that wouldn’t happen. You could do that.” Whatever you wanted once the debate was over, but he did it in complete violation of our agreement. And a lot of people who were standing over there (as he looked at his staff) will tell you exactly what it was. Show what it was. David Muir has lost all credibility.

The former president also took a swipe at Davis, who provided the debate’s first fact check against him.

“I’ve never heard of her. I never want to hear from her. She was terrible. “I don’t know how she even got her job,” Trump said. “But we have to save a country, and we can’t have fake news like that. And its ratings deserve to go down.”
