I realize some of you will have already read these two postings, but please check them out as both provide some good insight into the parameters concerning the "fake news" genre.

I also like a quote Camille included as a lead-in to her discussion: "It takes the words of a jester to cut through all the bullshit and strike a chord with the general populace". --Joi Ito. But are we (the 15-30 year-olds) really the general populace?
On a side note, many of you pointed out that the title of "fake news" isn't really befitting the shows we were discussing, and I agree. As I stated in class, a title such as "satirical news" would be more suitable, but if we look at this from more of a mainstream perspective, outlets such as The Daily Show are still viewed in a negative and false light.
