News satire

News satire is a type of entertainment that uses humor, irony, and exaggeration to comment on current events, politics, or societal issues. It aims to entertain while also prompting viewers to reflect critically on real-world topics. Unlike straight news, satire often presents fictionalized or humorous versions of news stories to highlight truths, criticize authorities, or challenge public perceptions. While it mimics the style of journalism, its primary intent is to amuse and provoke thought, not to provide factual reporting. Recognizable examples include shows like "The Daily Show" and "The Onion."
