Immune Response

When a foreign entity enters the body, the immune system immediately activates to help combat the threat. This phenomenon can be compared to the rise of satirical news shows. They have grown to combat a sick and corrupted media. The advent of the 24 hour news has brought about a steady decline in the respectability and integrity of the American media. All the major "news" networks were forced to compete for ratings, shifting the focus from hard-hitting journalism to just another source of entertainment available to America. In response, several comedians, entertainers, and general truth-seekers have begun to search for the truth using satire, in part, to draw attention to the absurdity of the media.
