1. Describe your satirical news source’s Web site. Does the source use convincing language to convey journalistic credibility, or is it clearly a “spoof”?
2. What are the “top stories” or “headlines”?
3. Does this source convey political or partisan (Democratic or Republican) bias? If so, what are two examples?
4. What brand or type of satire does this source seem to use the most?
5. Choose a story or article from your source and evaluate it for its satirical effectiveness.
a. Is it funny?
b. Why or why not?
c. Does it “ridicule, expose, or discredit” its target? If so, how? If not, how does it fail in its efforts?
