Andy Borowitz writes political satire and comic commentary about American public life. The Borowitz Report, first developed online, uses invented news stories and exaggerated headlines to parody politicians, media habits and the logic of contemporary politics. Profiles in Ignorance takes a longer historical view, tracing a succession of US political figures whom Borowitz presents as examples of anti-intellectualism moving from comic sideshow to a more central force in public life. His writing is brisk, punchline-driven and deliberately simplified for satirical effect rather than balanced political analysis. Borowitz is best approached through American political humour, fake-news satire and comic current-affairs writing rather than conventional history or biography. Read more Less
