The News Puppets(1988)

The News Puppets is a satirical series that skewers the machinery of broadcast journalism and the absurdities of contemporary politics. Using puppet characters, the show delivers sharp caricatures of media personalities, political figures, and French society at large. Each episode parodies the familiar rhythms of a newscast while lampooning current events and cultural obsessions. The humor mines both local French politics and broader global trends, creating a biting commentary on how news is reported, spun, and consumed. Part comedy, part social critique, The News Puppets uses its puppet format to expose the ridiculousness lurking beneath the surface of serious news programming and political discourse.
