>John Oliver's style is more akin to pointing a finger and laughing at someone
Again, as Oliver himself says repeatedly, he is a comedian, not a journalist. That's what comedians do. It's confusing to some people, because he talks about real things and sometimes manages to slip in more actual information than some actual journalists--esp the mock-journalists on TV--do.
- opportune 9y agoHe's a comedian in the same way that Alex Jones in an entertainer. You can call yourself whatever you want, but if you are functionally behaving as a political pundit, you should be held to similar standards as the rest of them (which are essentially nonexistent anyway)
