Amerikaans satirisch nieuwsprogramma, gepresenteerd door de Britse komiek John Oliver.
The Daily Show (op dit moment The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) is een satirisch nieuwsprogramma geproduceerd en uitgezonden door het Amerikaanse televisiestation Comedy Central. ‘The Daily Show’ is in Nederland en Vlaanderen te zien bij Comedy Central en online terug te kijken. Het programma is zeer kritisch op de serieuze nieuwszenders, die hun journalistieke verantwoordelijkheid niet zouden nemen. Het programma wordt steeds invloedrijker. In oktober 2010 was voor het eerst een zittende president te gast in het programma, namelijk Barack Obama. De invloed bleek ook toen in december 2010 een wet door de Republikeinen geblokkeerd dreigde te worden. Het ging om een wet die voorziet in financiële hulp aan de nabestaanden van de werkers die in de nasleep van 9/11 stierven aan ziektes als gevolg van hun werk op Ground Zero. The Daily Show besloot een complete aflevering aan het onderwerp te wijden. Toen de wet alsnog ingevoerd kon worden, roemde het Witte Huis Jon Stewart voor diens inzet. Het programma won vele prijzen, waaronder in 2006 de Emmy's voor Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series en Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program. Time selecteerde het tv-programma in 2010 voor de lijst van 100 beste televisieprogramma's aller tijden.
The Colbert Report is an American satirical late night television program that airs Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central. It stars political humorist Stephen Colbert, a former correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The Colbert Report is a spin-off from and counterpart to The Daily Show that comments on politics and the media in a similar way. It satirizes conservative personality-driven political pundit programs, particularly Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. The show focuses on a fictional anchorman character named Stephen Colbert, played by his real-life namesake. The character, described by Colbert as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot", is a caricature of televised political pundits.
The Colbert Report has been nominated for seven Primetime Emmy Awards each in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, two Television Critics Association Awards Awards, and two Satellite Awards. In 2013, it won two Emmys. It has been presented as non-satirical journalism in several instances, including by the Tom DeLay Legal Defense Trust and by Robert Wexler following his interview on the program. The Report received considerable media coverage following its debut on October 17, 2005, for Colbert's coining of the term "truthiness", which dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster named its 2006 Word of the Year.

Striscia la notizia is an Italian television program on the Mediaset-controlled Canale 5. Its name in Italian translates as "the news slithers", a probable parody of the slighting Italian journalist, submitted to politicians and overwhelmed with shame. The polysemic term Striscia, in English strip, can recall both a line of cocaine and the comic strip. But Striscia is also the slithing snake: this show worm in the hidden holes to unmask the television cheats. Founded in 1988, it is meant to be a parody of the daily news, which airs right before the program, but Striscia also satirizes government corruption and exposes scams with the help of local reporters who are also comedians. The program is directed and produced by Antonio Ricci and is hosted by two major comedians. Usually Ezio Greggio is assisted by another comedian for the winter season, after which there is a change of guard.

In the tiny poor town of Asa Branca, in the middle of Brazilian Northeast, Roque Santeiro is worshiped as a saint. He was supposedly killed by a bandit, 18 years ago, trying to save the local church. After his disappearance, local leaderships such as landowner Sinhozinho Malta and mayor Florindo, took profit on that to control the humble population. They even make up a widow, Porcina, who should have married Roque secretly before his death. What they don't expect is that Roque is alive, and he's back to, allegedly, "save his people". Now Malta, Florindo, Porcina, and others must hold him down and explain the "truth" to their commoners, in a desperate attempt to save their own bottoms.
