Satire Post
The example of satire I chose compares the biases of American news and it's priorities to BBC, a British news channel. It shows CNN's seemingly neutral slant, Fox's right leaning slant and MSNBC's liberal/leftist viewpoint. On the other hand, BBC is shown to report real news. The satire is Horatian Satire because the voice is "... indulgent, tolerant, amused, and witty." The main ridicule comes from MSNBC declaring that all who oppose it's claim that Pepsi is better than Coke are racist. MSNBC has been criticized for using that label before. BBC on the other hand talks more relevant news and makes the other channels look petty in comparison.
