Kymmenen Oscar-ehdokkuutta kerännyt Kasvot kuvaruudussa on satiiri tv-aseman uutisankkurista, joka nousee kansansuosikiksi ja profeetaksi omaperäisillä, tyytymättömillä puheillaan. Vuonna 1976 ensi-iltansa saanut, mutta yhä ajankohtainen elokuva kuvaa tv-julkisuuden ja katsojakilpailun kyynisiä lakeja. Elokuvan ohjasi Sidney Lumet.

Demokraattien kampanjakonsultti Gary Zimmerille vuoden 2016 presidentinvaalit olivat henkilökohtaisesti suurenpi tappio kuin puolueelle. Nyt Gary etsii seuraavaan kampanjaan epätoivoisesti uutta näkökulmaa ja loistava idea syntyykin heti, kun hänelle näytetään netissä viraalisti levinnyt video eläkkeellä olevasta merivoimien everstistä, Jack Hastingsista, joka puhuu kotikaupungkinsa Deerlakenin paperittomien maahanmuuttajien puolesta. Gary päättää suostutella Hastingsin demokraattien ehdokkaaksi tuleviin Deerlaken pormestarivaaleihin - ja Hastingsin voittaessa vahvasti koservatiivisessa Wisconsinissa, hän uskoo pystyvänsä kääntämään keskilännen äänestämään demokraattia seuraavissa presidentinvaaleissa. Gary matkustaa Deerlakeniin ja näkee valtavan kulttuurisen kuilun Washington DC: n kaupunkilaisten ja maaseudun tapojen sekä poliittisten vakaumusten välillä. Pian Deerlake onkin kaiken huomion keskipisteessä ja kilpailevien poliittisten konstulttien taistelukenttänä.

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.

A half-hour satirical look at the week in news, politics and current events.

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.

Set inside the offices of the "Nation Building Authority", a newly created government organisation responsible for overseeing major infrastructure projects, Utopia explores that moment when bureaucracy and grand dreams collide.

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. Meanwhile, mysterious facts surround Asa Branca, such as a Werewolf, a film crew who are trying to shoot a movie about Roque's story, and violent murderers.
