History of Television News Parody in America
«
A richly-detailed account of how news parody TV shows have become the watch-dog of TV journalism. Through archival research and close analysis of original programs, Hersey explores how these shows started with lampooning the evening news and, over 50 years, have grown to ridicule the “willful misinformation” so prevalent today. Hersey persuasively argues that news parody shows have gained cultural standing to speak on political issues. This is a terrific historical examination of how news parody shows developed their satirical marksmanship as they took aim at presidential politics.
