【 摘 要 】

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.
