John Oliver isn't any better.
In his segment on Libya, for example, he didn't mention that Obama and Hillary (or even the US) were responsible for the mess there.
In his special on mandatory minimums, he ignored the Clinton Crime Bill, while showing footage of the first Bush.
News sources slanting their coverage for political reasons isn't limited to Fox and Sinclair.

- ceejayoz 7y agoI can't find any indication Oliver did a Libya special? Do you have a link? There's a short discussion of John Bolton's Libya model, where it relates to North Korea, but that's all I can find.
- leereeves 7y agoI can't find the full episode either now, but here's an excerpt that suddenly cuts out after 90 seconds. I hazily remember it being longer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd2VKMQmAOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd2VKMQmAOY > It's been three years since Qadaffi fell. > The nation of Libya seems to be descending into chaos at the hands of Islamist militias. Plenty of opportunity there to say "since Obama overthrew Qadaffi and left the nation in chaos". It seems I shouldn't have called it a special, it was just a segment, but I'm still wondering why it isn't in the list of episodes on Wikipedia (which includes each segment).
- pteredactyl 7y ago100% agreed. How he is not questioned for foreign influence on our election is beyond me. I'm somewhat saying this tongue-and-cheek but for the amount of 'Russian Collusion' that warranted the last 3 years of hysteria, he should've been questioned.
