Talking about John Oliver and Bill Maher. Before Trump got elected, both shows were great and talking about wide set of issues around the globe and US. What's more important they always looked at those issues from different perspective, digging under both parties. Nowadays it's all about Trump and tunnel vision like there is nothing else. Just plain boring. 3rd version of Fox and CNN.
Those hosts are just establishment propagandists now. Pre-forming your opinion for you.
That's exactly how I feel about it, which wasn't the case before.
Gold medal in mental gymnastics!

No. These are decidedly the most important issues of our time. It would be worse If they weren't talking about it and acted like everything was normal. How long do you want to bury your head in the sand?
I'm fine with them covering the topic - it's indeed important. Question is why would you spend 99% of your time on just that for past 2 years?
Well the shows themselves exist as political satire/comedy, it's just a product of the current situation (and how dire it is).
Completely agree with you. The non-stop news cycle is incredibly toxic and needs to stop. And every little thing has become politicized since 2016 that you can't take a break from it anymore... even on weekends - from Standup comedy to Late Night Talk Shows to literally everything. It has become impossible to talk or think about anything other than Trump, irrespective of your political leaning.
Right? There is new show on Netflix called the break and even this one starts and ends with Trump. For Christ's sake.
John Oliver usually talks about Trump for only the first 5 minutes, before going into his main random topic
John Oliver although leaning left is a very well thought out and intelligent show. Everything he says is relevant news and based on well researched facts. Compare this to what you would call the polar opposite which is Hannity, all opinion pieces, tons of yelling, and reverse engineering the premise of trump is always right. Give me a break.
Bill Maher is funny and brutal. I like his left but nonPC style of comedy.
You kidding? John Oliver and Bill Maher are the only good ones left out there who honestly focus on important issues. Everyone else just does cheap non funny comedy. Also, those two are among the very very few leftist who are still sane and not consumed by political correctness and safe-space fanaticism.
Never could stand Bill Maher. John Oliver is funny even though I disagree with his centrist-liberal POV.

Much better than Hannity having endless shows claiming, "Witch Hunt". I mean, we've found so many people selling America to Russia. For God's sake, just be a real Patriot for once and let them find traitors.
How delusional are you? Seriously? Do you just turn a complete blind eye to everything. Beyond all of the other bits of evidence suggesting trump has a conspiracy going on with Russia let’s just focus on one. Today trump said the tower meeting his son had awhile back with Russian agents was an attempt to dig up dirt on Hillary. Did you forget that trump denied this meeting outright? Then when mueller got undeniable proof that it occurred, trump said oh don jr only discussed adoptions which them. Adoptions by the way which are part of the maginskty act which put sanctions on Russia. So essentially don jr discussed the sanctions the us had on Russia in secret which is illegal. This all occurred last summer. Now mueller has undeniable proof that don jr was conspiring with Russians to dig up dirt on Hillary via trumps lawyer Cohen who is now a cooperating witness, so trump admits that it happened and is trying to change the narrative that it was “totally legal.” By the way which it is not. Now three times he’s lied to all of us and you want to say honestly there’s nothing there? Are you a moron? I don’t think you are, but if you continue to blindly follow this man you are. This is just one recent example, please think for a second look past your stubbornness and recognize what’s going on.
Thank yooou. (Slow clap)
