The punchline versus the byline: What does comedy do right that journalism can't?

Satirical news programmes are popular in many countries around the world. In this episode of Scoop we focus on the United States in the final weeks before the presidential election, and discuss what comedians get right that journalists get wrong. Our guests this week are stand-up comedians Bob Vallier and Charles Pellegrin. Editor's note: Bob also happens to be a spokesperson for Democrats Abroad, while Charles is also a journalist at FRANCE 24.
