Abstract
Whether they serve as a gateway to traditional news sources, a microscope to dissect the problems in our country, a mirror to reflect the problems we ourselves bring to the table, a voice for the underdog, a communal place of respite for the weary or just the source of a laugh during trying times, late-night television comedy and satire serves numerous roles in how we receive and interpret political news. This paper discusses the ways in which truly fake news may become the voice of reason when traditional sources are being questioned.Advisors/Committee Members: Furman, Jan (advisor), Kassel, Michael (committee member).
