The “Fake News” story from the Onion News Network an ontological piece criticizing the “Real News” focus on trivial matters and making fun of the “Real News” by taking on an exaggerated persona that illustrates some of the superfluous things news networks report. I have attached also an actual news story about a bear. If compared to the Onion piece the absurdity of the actual News story is more noticeable. In Baym’s article he discusses the “Daily Shows” role as a “Fake News” show in the breakdown and reevaluation of discourse. He states that the “well-being of public discourse” is the focus of many of John Stewart’s interviews.
