Abstract:
The Daily Show with John Stewart and the Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert have attracted much interest from popular audiences as well as scholars in various disciplines. The ten essays in this interdisciplinary collection explore the issues engendered by the popularity of entertainment news, including the role of satire in politics, the declining level of trust in traditional sources of media, the shows' cathartic or informational function, and the ways in which these shows influence public opinion.
