That is precisely the theme of my novels.
I think you've got the progression of America's near future pegged. Jamal Tambor = Barrack Hussein Obama, Sidney Krantz = Rahm Immanuel, Weasel Dave = Bill Clinton, Bob Bullard = a mix of people including Janet Incompetano, FreeAmericans.net = FreeRepublic.com, TOP news = FOX news (although in FEAT you explicitly referred to FOX news), CBA = ABC. I love it.
