Hi Sharon: that's a fascinating topic. I looked for the study and I'm
assuming you mean this one:
The Irony of Satire: Political Ideology and the Motivation to See What You
Want to See in The Colbert Reportby LaMarre et al. Yes?
You also allude to other "Recent studies" -- can you mention a few of the
ones you find most intriguing?
thanks, --Hal B.
