John Oliver is correct but the lack of publication of competing viewpoints is what defines US (Democrat) propaganda. For example I’ve seen him state that the wage gap was 25%, straight face! that’s where the alternative viewpoints are sorely lacking and, when you learn the history of achors who have only questioned the credibility of this statistic, you can clearly say: Censorship is enforced with violence in USA.

>For example I’ve seen him state that the wage gap was 25%, straight face! that’s where the alternative viewpoints are sorely lacking I can't believe this "alternate viewpoints" bull is really propagating into the ether. He's either wrong or he's right. He either telling the truth, lying or ignorant. A wage gap almost certainly exists, and can likely attributed to a number of factors backed up by factual research. "Alternate viewpoints" is a laughable reason to let anyone with a soapbox dump garbage into the ether.

  The world is full of shades of gray. Saying there is a 25% wage gap may not be technically incorrect, but it also doesn't go into _why_ that gap exists. It doesn't say how that number was arrived at or if it is the best representation we can come up with. If you think the world is black and white you're going to lack understanding on almost any subject because, in the real world, nuance is a thing.

Are you trying to say that conservative media is a bastion of published opposing viewpoints? Serious question, do you have a reference for that? I’ve not found any in recent times. Not for nothing, it’s a comedy show that reports on the news. How that can be construed as propaganda is beyond me.
