Journal 8

My favorite satire would have to be The Colbert Report. I can not just pick one episode, because the entire theme of the show is a satire of the same thing. He does a great job on satirizing the extreme right side by creating the Stephen Colbert character, an extreme right winger who doesn't completely think through anything he says, does, or endorses. This is a fantastic satire, because it really opens your eyes to how many people in the U.S. actually feel about things. It is clear to see that Colbert is liberal in real life, but he makes this character so realistic that it is hard to see that part of himself. The Colbert Report is a fantastic satire of the right wing extremists.
