Oh finally John Oliver has picked up a topic that is actually relevant to my interest. I watched every episode of his show under Obama. But since he turned his show into an endless Trump Hatefest it is just unbearable to stay through all his negativity. Really unfortunate that he turned that great format into one based on one-sided angry know-it-all rants.
- soheil 9y agoNot sure why you're getting so many down votes, but I completely agree with you. Some of his shows were incredible a few years back, two that come to mind: Televangelists[1] and Debt Buyers[2].

- kbenson 9y agoLikely because it's tangential to the primary focus of the submission without really providing relevance, is largely based on personal opinion, and touches on incendiary political topics in a way that doesn't really further the discussion. It's also slightly ironic that the complaint was that John Oliver makes the issue about Trump too much, and then the commenter introduces trump into this discussion. "It's nice that he's not bashing Trump finally. Now let's take this reprieve and specifically call that out so we can talk more about Trump." While likely not the intention of the GP, that's what it ends up being in practice if it's not curbed.
- 1337biz 9y agoYes, that was a personal perception/comment. And I am not even arguing that he is this time moving away from blaming it all on Trump. Just that it is this one of the few occasions I agree with the problem premise and that this is a welcome change from the rest of his feeding-the-hate stories.
