Shout*For is a Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert fanfic written by erinptah. It is an AU in which Fake News people/characters are "Disney Teen Pop Stars." Jon Stewart, "Stephen Colbert", Jimmy Fallon, and Tucker Carlson are in a famous boy band akin to One Direction, and Olivia Munn is akin to Miley Cyrus.

Fake news AU. Our heroes (and some villains) (and some imports from The Newsroom) are all performers in various blocs of the Disney tween music/TV/movie empire, which naturally is amazingly screwed-up behind the scenes. Jon and "Stephen" are in a manufactured boy band with Jimmy and Tucker. They're about to get some cross-promotion with Olivia, the local equivalent of Miley Cyrus. These kids are only thrown together based on whatever will get the best publicity, but there are still genuine Best Friendships Forever to be forged...which is good, because with high-pressure careers in the fishbowl of celebrity, sometimes friends are the only thing that keep you going.
