[personal profile] abomvubuso posting in [community profile] talkpolitics
Hey guys! Holiday season is coming! Did you smash a few heads while invading the local mall on Black Friday? Well, now that December has come, here's what you guys chose for a monthly topic:

Infotainment And Punditry



So here are some details that may or may not serve as rough guidelines on the subject:

- Social commentary through satire
- Politics in fiction and entertainment
- Role of the media in politics
- The rise of punditry and the 24-hour news cycle
- Political fiction and political parody
- Satire as an accountability tool
- Film, television, musicals and comics on politics
- Post-truth and the satirical backlash to the war on reason
- Political mockumentary and investigative journalism
- Political soundbites and talking points
- Political correctness in entertainment
- Apocrypha and banned literature
- Frivolous political parties
- Notable fictitious characters and their impact on politics

And here is the poll for December...

What should be the next monthly topic?

1) Poverty & Privilege
2) The Grand Chessboard
3) The War on Reason
4) The Technological Singularity
5) Emerging Politicians

(Feel free to suggest more topics)
