Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. For a large volume of the population lacking serious political interest, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report have become almost synonymous with the word news. These satirical programs address key world wide issues in a comedic fashion that makes them appealing to the masses. This book provides insight into the two leading forces behind the mounting success of these programs, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It also examines their endeavors and legacies outside the realm of their shows. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
