Modern Satire

Satire is used in social media, advertisements, television shows and even propaganda and some art. The Daily Show, which was stared by John Stewart, but recently retired from the position, expresses a lot of satire. This show is not popular with teens and children considering that most of the jokes used are written catered to an audience that is older and have advanced knowledge on contemporary politics. Satire, which is, the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues, according to (Bing.com)  is the main soft spot for the viewers. John Stewart delivered the jokes in an extremely funny attitude and created many that ridicule politicians. As many think in the United States, the normal news shows are idiotic, bias, and consistently focus on violence. Watching The Daily Show is like taking a brief break from listening to the normal news to laugh at modern politics. This is how more and more young adults are getting the news through shows that use satire.
