Satire On Fake News

Karl Bode discovered that satire news outlets give viewers an opportunity to gain more information than normal news outlets. Satire news host tend to be more aware of the issue at hand than normal news because they have to do actual research on the event themselves to obtain their news script. Without research the host wouldn’t be able to provide the sarcasm and humor that is needed in a satire news show. Studies at the University of Delaware have proven that viewers are more likely to watch parody news shows because it keeps their interest longer and it is more relatable to their opinions. In comparison, real news outlet do seem to be boring, although it varies in headlines and top stories unlike parody news, it is sometimes not relatable and can have a negative impact on a viewer’s mood. In an additional source, it

Satire reflects in different ways on our society today. While satire was all over back then today we mainly see it in political cartoons and on television. On television there are show such as the Colbert Report and John Oliver who relay "news reports" to viewers. They are poking fun at the news going in the world today. One of the biggest shows of Satire is SNL. Most recently they have had "Trump" on and have been making fun of presidential career thus far. In today's society the big butt and boobs are the goal for many up and coming stars. For television hosts this gives a chance for them to make parody's of them. For example, Ellen DeGeneres has dressed up as a fictional cousin of the Kardashians. In this costume she has the big hair, big

On the internet there are hundreds of thousands of different news articles, but not all of them are real. Fake news is a type of hoax or deliberate misinformation that you can find almost anywhere mostly because of social networking platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and News Feed.

College students should be able to get paid when they play basketball. College players should get paid. They should get paid, but not that much. If they do nothing except sit on the bench they shouldn’t get paid as much as the players that actually play. You shouldn’t have to pay to get paid. Without a doubt college players should get paid, if they sit on the bench they won’t get paid as much as others, and they shouldn’t pay to get paid.

The article Emotional Obama Tearfully Thanks Trump For Granting Him Citizenship is satirizing how Donald Trump is most concerned about confirming everyone's citizenship in America; he determines this by racially profiling people. Anyone would want to satirize Donald Trump because he is extremely rude, his rules are obscured, and he is tremendously insulting. In the satire that was created it talks about how Obama wanted to thank Donald Trump for confirming his citizenship in America.

The viewpoint of the political cartoon is that no one takes Al Gore seriously. The word serious is in the cartoon and AL Gore is dressed as a penguin, which is funny. The cartoon is horatian because Al Gore dressed in a penguin suit is humorous. The content creator used sarcasm and caricature in the cartoon. The sarcastic part of the cartoon is Obama asking us to take global warming seriously. Caricature is used by Al Gore dressed as a penguin.

I am such a believer in this. Too many times I hear and read about someone with great promise who throws in the towel because "real life" got in the way. Real life is always going to get in the way. Every damn day real life is in the way. The path to becoming an artist, a creator, a someone with something to say is a freeway, it is a path without markers much of the time.

Although there are certainly segments that are obviously fake news, the vast majority of The Daily Show is far from the realm of fake news, but also quite distinct from hard news and journalism. There is a significant different between a fake news program and a satirical news program. Satire is a “discourse of inquiry” that attempts to unravel the morality of issues being discussed.1 Fake news is simply made up and has no basis in fact. Satirical news, though, puts a spin on the actual news. Stewart and the other writers of the show rarely invent stories.

Thesis: Dissemination of news through social media allows for rapid distribution and incredible accessibility, but can lead to decreased understanding, stifled discussion, and even the propagation of fake news stories.

Each of these articles give very interesting ideas and insightful explanation about satire. Trudeau (2015) claims the theory of “punching up, not punching down”. It means it is acceptable for satirical writers to crack jokes or mock those people who have higher social status than you. However, satirizing and making fun of the poor or lower-class people is regarded as a kind of improper and immoral behavior. I agree with Trudeau (2015)’s opinion to some extent. I can totally understand the feeling of people who are relatively “unfortunate” compare to others when they’re receiving ironic verbal aggression. Those people don’t have good salary. They cannot afford a good house and support a good living. It’s cruel and brutal to make fun of them.

A study conducted in 2013 by Pew Research found out that 72 percent of Americans get their news from a mobile device. This created a major concern with the credibility of the news that Americans read due to the fact that there are many websites that post news satire. News satire is a false accusation made to scheme the audience into believing some type of hoax. These stories generate major problems for those who are political figures, threatening their legitimacy and even harming their reputations. Every single day people are exposed to fake news, whether that be on Facebook, Twitter, or directly on news sites and “According to Pew Research, 66 percent of Facebook users said they get news from the site” (“Probe Reveals Stunning”…). These false

By contrast, Richard Ford and Ernest Hemingway short stories present varied views of life. Through of imagery and contrast of traits, the philosophy of existentialism is illustrated. The two stories many have common ideologies and presentation. The two asserts that anxiety of being alone in the universe is a condition of life. (Sartre, 40)

The recent surge in popularity of social media comes with a price: fake news. Fake news is defined as news or media that has been altered or modified. Journalists have begun to analyze why that fake news exists and why it continues exist. Two authors, Eoin O’Carroll and Kevin D. Williamson, both have written articles about fake news. Eoin O’Carroll’s article “How Information Overload Helps Spread Fake News,” discusses how the media has bombarded us with news stories, blurring the distinct lines between real and fake news. Kevin D. Williamson, a journalist for the National Review, writes in his article “‘Fake News, Media and Voters: Shared Reality Must Be Acknowledged” that the news is not fake; it just does not align with one’s personal beliefs. Both authors successfully appeal to their audiences’ emotions and feelings, but O’Carroll is more likely to succeed than Williamson in persuading his audience to try and combat fake news because the writer presents himself as someone the intended readers will more readily identify with and offers evidence that his readers will find more compelling.

The internet was invented roughly about 30 years ago by the World Wide Web. However, the first social media came out circa 20 years ago. The name of it was Six Degrees and it was created by Andrew Weinreich in the 1900’s. Six degrees users had the capabilities of uploading a profile, making friends, and sending messages with family and friends. Nevertheless on 2004, Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg, a 19-year-old who created the biggest social media that changed the world. Till this day, Facebook probably has up to 2 billion users and still counting. Nonetheless, most people seen on Facebook ranges from their teens to mid-40s, that have the capability of spreading information across the globe setting a chain reaction that created and spread fake news. Social medias’ fake news is spread by a heap of people that are easily convinced by false statements. According to Gretel, “In the midst of a nationwide debate over the proliferation of fake news on social media sites – and, as one 2015 study by the Media Insight Project shows, at a time when nearly 9 in 10 Millennials regularly get news from Facebook – the numbers, at first glance, may point to a bleak, uninformed future.” (n. pag.) Therefore, teens need to use social media to disintegrate some of the repercussions of real news.

Out of the variety of news sources such as TV, radio, or newspapers, one of the popular sources in today’s world is social media. People are getting addicted to and can’t live without social media such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. They use social media as of where they can post their status but also where they can receive a lot of different news. While social media are spreading any kinds of news such as trend, celebrity or even politics, people easily get the information that is not true called “fake news.” The fake news raises the major problem in social media as the news source. Once people see the news, they tend to believe and share it. Liking can spread out fake news in a second. When people like the news, the activity
