"This year's presidential election has been more about the battle between social media experts and pundits than the one between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney. While political pundits have tried to prove who will win the election, social media experts said they don't need polls or stats to decode democracy, they just needed Facebook and Twitter. \nAnd let's be honest, the media loved it (yes, even Mashable). \n\nSEE ALSO: 7 Funny SNL Skits With Presidential Impersonators [VIDEOS]\nBut Seth Meyers and the rest of the Saturday Night Live team seemed to be the only ones who wanted us all to stop and take a really good look at those political analyses coming out of social media. \n\"Social media expert\" Kourtney Barnes showed up on this week's \"Weekend Update\" and said it best: \"That's the beauty of social media \u2014 everyone's opinion is equal.\" \nShe then compared an elegant statement made by David Brooks of The New York Times to the equally profound political statement, \"Obama = poop\" by a Facebook user. \nCheck out the clip above to see what other political gems of truth Saturday Night Live found on social media. \nWho do you think got it right this election \u2014 social media experts or political pundits?
