This research delves into the role of satirical television programs in shaping the image of Iraqi politicians. The research problem is summarized in the main question: How does satire featured in television programs influence the portrayal of Iraqi politicians? This research adopts a descriptive approach and employs a survey methodology. The primary data collection tool is a questionnaire, complemented by observation and measurement techniques. The study draws upon the framework of cultural cultivation theory as a guiding theoretical foundation. A total of 430 questionnaires were disseminated among respondents who regularly watch satirical programs, selected through a multi-stage random sampling procedure.
The researcher arrived at several key findings, including: A majority of the surveyed audience perceives the image crafted of Iraqi politicians through satirical programs as predominantly negative. A smaller portion of respondents believe that satirical programs do not offer a clear image of Iraqi politicians. Additionally, most respondents point to the portrayal of Iraqi politicians' inability to deliver services to citizens as a prominent negative trait accentuated by satirical programs. These programs tend to omit any portrayal of positive attributes or the stances of politicians who prioritize upholding the Iraqi constitution.
