	NOW with David Brancaccio. Politics & Economy. Who's Laughing Now? — American Political Satire \| PBS
		Although the term satire may describe an entire work, a passage, or a tone, its characteristics are shared: among these, it employs comedy or humor; has a target and an ideal to compare it to; and describes folly or vice in detail.
		The many diverse forms their statements have taken reflect the origin of the word satire, which is derived from the Latin satura, meaning "dish of mixed fruits," hence a medley.
		This form of satire, along with Internet "fake news" sites such as THE ONION, WHITEHOUSE.ORG, and the BOROWITZ REPORT have brought the attention of a younger generation to satire and commentary on today's political discussions and societal inequality.

	§21. Political Satire: "Absalom and Achitophel," Part I. I. Dryden. Vol. 8. The Age of Dryden. The Cambridge ...
		In undertaking the composition of this great satire, whether or not at the request of Charles II, Dryden had found his great literary opportunity; and, of this, he took advantage in a spirit far removed from that of either the hired bravos or the spiteful lampooners of his age.
		Absalom and Achitophel remains the greatest political satire in our literature, partly because it is frankly political, and not intended, like Hudibras, by means of a mass of accumulated detail, to convey a general impression of the vices and follies, defects and extravagances, of a particular section or particular sections of the nation.
		It is not a satirical narrative complete in itself which is attempted; the real dénouement of the piece falls not within, but outside, its compass; in other words, the poem was to lead up, as to an unavoidable sequitur, to the trial and conviction of its hero.

	Political satire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Political satire is a subgenre of general satire that specializes in gaining entertainment from politics, politicians and public affairs.
		Political satire is usually distinguished from political protest or political dissent, as it does not necessarily carry an agenda nor seek to influence the political process.
		During the twentieth century satire moved from print media (in cartoons as political cartoons with heavy caricature and exaggeration, and political magazines), and the parallel exposure of political scandals, to performances (including television shows).

	Satire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Satire is a literary technique of writing or art which exposes the follies of its subject (for example, individuals, organizations, or states) to ridicule, often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change.
		The burlesque form of satire can also be segregated into two distinct categories: High burlesque, or taking subject matter which is crude in nature and treating it in a lofty style, or low burlesque, taking subject matter traditionally dealt with in an epic or poetic fashion and degrading it.
		For instance, the comic strip Doonesbury satirized a Florida county that had a racist law that minorities had to have a passcard in the area; the law was soon repealed with an act nicknamed the Doonesbury Act.

	Lynch, Augustan Satire Bibliography
		Satire and irony are identified with Frye's "mythos of winter," and the two are distinguished thus: "satire is militant irony." He traces the appearance of satire and irony in his six phases, from mythic through mimetic to ironic.
		In those sections he treats satire as a genre rather than a mode, argues that it is dependent on the world beyond the text, and lacks a plot in the traditional sense, being instead statically suspended between the two poles of virtue and vice.
		Satires are therefore unable to celebrate the wars essential to epics, and are forced to efface them in an age of war atrocities.

		Political satire of the old times has transformed to political crime and it is done away with!
		A kind of satire that is always accompanied by narrow, yet tangible and sharp layers of criticism.
		That means that if political satire can transform into political crime, then it is obvious that it would be considered political and its proof is the verse by the mellifluous poet that says: when it comes to hundred, ninety too is in our hand.

	Collection of political satire becomes unlikely best-seller
		Trillin said his most effective political stance, at least in verse, had always been to make merciless fun of whoever was in power or even lurking anywhere near it.
		"I don't usually get exactly angry about politics," he said, but described hearing a news report on a car radio about a young military helicopter pilot who was killed in the lead-up to the war.

Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism chief who is now a harsh critic of the administration.

		Dissent is inevitable in a democracy; and satire (which is already slowly reappearing, albeit in rather subdued form) is a form of dissent that ridicules the hypocrisy, the overblown rhetoric, and the abuses of power which are inevitable in any political system.
		This is certainly not the first time in our history, or in the experience of other countries, that the question of the value and appropriateness of political satire has arisen.
