“Fake” News Delivers in a “Real” Way “Fake” news commentators are comedians. They come in each day to work and take a look at the news and choose what will be the subject of their show for that evening. With pen and paper in hand they sit down and study the news clips for anything they can find that funny, wrong, off, hypocritical, biased, contradictory, brushed over, hidden, or twisted into sounding good when it really is not. Most days the job entails poking a lot of fun at our government, our

What do fool think is going on? The members of the public who have a shortage of capacity, satire can develop a frustrating, unpleasant, sometimes an embarrassing encounter as satire can be misled or pointless if misinterpreted. Dangers of misinterpretations have been evident in society through The Weekly: Nation Security, Summer Heights High, and Chaser: Breaching APEC Security. The texts shows change the way we see things as we realise that we are no given the full story and are presented in a

Politics are something that carries a lot of importance in today’s world, as it affects how different groups and countries interact with each other. Recently, the use of satire has been integrated into politics, using the once formal media as entertainment. Hosts are known to make fun of politicians for a variety of different reasons, whether it be petty or not, and use this method to send a message across or just to make people laugh. In Saturday Night Live’s segment, “Celebrity Family Feud: Political

4. After watching the Daily Show interview with Jim Cramer, I believe that Jon Stewart’s questions were fair as he was trying to get Cramer to confess CNBC’s faults during the financial crisis and his contributions to them. One instance of this was Stewart calling out CNBC for creating an unrealistic image of the market by covering up the embezzlement scandals and failing to expose the actions of those behind it, despite their frequent interview appearances. I agree with Stewart in this argument

Have you ever heard about the daily show? Jon Stewarts the daily show good or bad for American democracy? I think is good because the news that we have now is boring and more people would watch it now then the regular news. I think people will get more entertained and not bored. Making people watch it and liking it. Sometimes you have to get up and watch the news. Its not very entertaining to you so you just get up and do something else. The news we have now tells us how the day is going to be or

We live in an era where television-show host known for his entrepreneurial background has become president of the United States. With loads of controversy leading his win and constant roulette of employees. Additionally, with an impressive array of tweets, it is no shock that the President and his employees tend to be the end of all the jokes. Especially, in the rain of parodies pored over in the media: from new media to television, all forms are taking advantage to make fun of the government. Specifically

The National Broadcasting Company (NBC) is a popular American broadcast network. Founded in 1926 (Fletcher), NBC has grown to feature many segments, one of which is Saturday Night Live (SNL). The late-night comedy showcase aired a segment on November 19th, 2016 in which an actor portraying Donald Trump as he transitions to the White House is seen having brief conversations with various political characters such as Mitt Romney, Republican campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, and future vice-president

Frontline- The production office activity What makes the extract funny? I think the fact that mike is trying to suss out who is leaking information to a rival channel (the concept of the story) is a bit out of the ordinary and wouldn’t usually happen in day to day life (unrealistic). The techniques that are being used are: mocking, comparision, symbolical system, farce. What is being satirized? Mike (presenter) and the company channel nine. How is the humour making the object of the satire appear

art deco of the 1930s. This can be seen in many of her dresses throughout the film, especially during her dinner with Marc Antony and her surrender to Octavian and the Roman army. One example of this is in the slinky, gold lamé dress Claudette Colbert dons as Cleopatra plots to poison Marc Antony. Not only does the figure-hugging gown remind the audience of her role as the temptress, but it echos strongly of the style of 1930s Hollywood. The ruched front was style that became popular in 1930s.

Over-all this documentary made me feel very defeated and overwhelmed. Possibly it is just my mood tonight, but it is clear that a few really wealthy companies run the media in the United States. There has been a decline in small ownership media companies similar to Independent Lens in recent years. This decline correlates with the Telecommunication Act of 1996 that ended most ownership restrictions (Campbell, Martin, & Fabos, 2014, p. 224). It was thought that this deregulation would encourage
