Why do progressive voices dominate late-night comedy programming? Why is a liberal Sean Hannity nowhere to be found in the media landscape? Why have attempts at producing progressive talk radio programming failed? These are questions that scholars of partisan media have grappled with-most of the time, unsuccessfully sosince the advent of conservative talk radio in the late 1980s. In her latest book Irony and Outrage: The Polarized Landscape of Rage, Fear, and Laughter in the United States (Oxford University Press, 2020), Dannagal Goldthwaite Young takes the reader on a journey through the psychology of the audiences of political entertainment programs to account for conservatives' preference for the genre of "outrage" and liberals' predilection for irony
