*A correction has been made to the original version of this story.

Washington - JibJab, the California-based producer of digital parody cartoons, on Wednesday night released its latest musical satire entitled "What We Call the News" at the Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in DC.

The video -- which features representations of news personalities such Bill O'Reilly, Larry King, Geraldo Rivera and Anderson Cooper, as well as celebrities such as Britney Spears, Anna Nicole Smith and Donald Trump -- also was broadcast Wednesday night on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and released on its JibJab.com web site on Thursday.

The company said that the two-minute video, which is set to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic," lampoons news outlets for covering "absurd and ridiculous stories to the exclusion of hard news in their epic quest for ratings." It is viewable at the link below.

*Correction: The original headline of this story incorrectly referred to the event as a "White House Correspondents Dinner." The video debuted at the Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in DC, not to be confused with the White House Correspondents' Association's annual dinner event.
