For people who work in the business of political satire and news comedy, there’s no shortage of rich source material these days. But misinformation, disinformation and leaders who can seem stranger than fiction are complicating the craft. Piya Chattopadhyay speaks with two veterans of the scene – The Beaverton’s Luke Gordon Field and a founding member of The Onion, Christine Wenc – about the challenges of skewering the news today, and how satire can help people make sense of the absurdity of real life.
