Baumgartner and Jonathan S. Morris  a5th Ed.  aNew York :bRoutledge,c2008  axxi, 362 p. :billus. ;c23 cm.  aIndeks : p.355-362  aA recent Pew study found that a growing percentage of young people claim to gain their knowledge of current political news from sources like the political sketches of Saturday Night Live, the scathing expose of Bowling for Columbine, the political satire of South Park and the Simpsons, and the sardonic mockery of the Daily Show, The Colbert Report, or the Onion. How does political humor influence politics? This book presents original research - both quantitative and qualitative - to explore the various forms political humor takes in the modern media as well as the various ways in which political humor influences politics. In the end one thing will be clear: in American politics, laughing does indeed matter. 4aUnited States - Politics and government - 1989 4aPublic Opinion - United States0 aEdited by Jody C.
