Stephen Colbert device (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satire

(Other definitions for satire that I've seen before include "Writings ridiculing vice and folly" , "Lampoon" , "Humouous piece which ricicules" , "Caustic comments" , "Novel or play that ridicules social failings" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
