I used to like John Oliver. Some of his topics were great. And I was even okay with some of his criticisms of Trump since he would provide some context and balance. But the last few years he has become an outright shill for the left.

The lying and manipulation goes long before him become a shill. Daily Show used that tecnique all the time. But their favorite was to present some kind of "fact", basically a leftist trope, as being totally true and universally agreed upon. Something like "experts all agree that gun control is effective" or "gun control has been proven effective". Really? We do? No one is debating the effectiveness of gun control policy? But of course it's presented as fact rather than as a narrative or opinion.
