Daily Show: Gerrymandering

This clip is a satire on racial gerrymandering.  Start at 40 seconds to avoid language.


Daily Show: 2016 Election

This video clip looks at "Presidential Dynasties" and would be great to start a discussion about the American process for choosing presidential candidates. This clip is appropriate for any government class.


Daily Show: Civil Liberties Debate

This interview with Andrew Napolitano touches on the debate between safety and civil liberties. Content is appropriate for any class.



Daily Show: Public Opinion

This is a great clip to show how unreliable polls can be.  It is a good review of leading questions, inaccurate sampling, and media bias.  NOTE: I would recommend stopping this clip 30 seconds before the end for language that is likely not appropriate for the classroom.
