meta-concept

Watching the difference between the meta-concepts of humor and substantive coverage. I found that in humor there is substantive coverage but in substantive coverage there is vary little humor. I viewed SNLs reenactment  of Obamas speech on the wallstreet reform, they took substantive coverage of the speech and made humors comments to make it funny. In the actual coverage of Obamas speech on the reform it was all substantive coverage with little or no humor. I think that fake new does not necessarily mislead the public, but uses the recall type of coverage to inform the public. With a little humor the important facts stick.
