Myth, Reality, and Implications: Modern Political Caricatures

The final chapter of the book draws on lessons learned from the case studies in the book. These include the way in which political leaders in the modern era are targeted by humorists, the roots of these political caricatures, and any patterns evident with respect to their truth content. The chapter also explores whether or not these caricatures actually matter, whether they have any effect on the real world of politics.
