News parody, or satire, is a comedic form of media that imitates real news stories to highlight their absurdities or flaws. It often exaggerates facts or presents fictional events in a way that reflects the style of traditional journalism. This genre aims to entertain while provoking thought about current events and societal issues. Programs like The Onion and Saturday Night Live use satire to comment on politics, culture, and everyday life. By presenting news in a humorous light, these parodies encourage audiences to question the information they consume and consider different perspectives on serious topics.
