"Turn On The News" is the weekly newscast from the fictional Radio Network, with parody radio coverage of the radio and its headlines. Now with computerized news readers, and fewer meddling reporters, plus aggregated reporting, and automated music. Tune in "Turn On The News" each week for the latest news, radio art, and more from our robot reporters, making sure you hear both sides -- good and evil -- every time you "Turn On The News."

This week: "American Heavy." This week there were weighty issues on trial, and a verdict came in.

Bone Burnett ("Getting Worse"), Gregory Whitehead ("American Heavy"), and Childish Gambino ("This is America"). Clips and excerpts from The Daily Show; Seth Meyers; Joe Biden; Mark Meadows; Amber Ruffin; Peter Cahill; "Tooning Out the News;" Jimmy Kimmel; Stephen Colbert; Chuck Todd; and DeRay Mckesson.
