There have been some topics that I am well informed on and have noticed Jon leaves out some key facts on them. While I come away thinking he has convinced me or makes me rethink a position on something I wonder if he does this on all topics. Has anyone noticed this on topics you are well informed on?
shareAll the reasons Hillary should be charged with serious crimes, or at the very least be blocked from running for president. John, like the rest of the liberal media, ignores her misdeeds, shady deals, blatant lies, and numerous red flags.

Why should Hillary be charged with "serious" crimes?
shareThis show definitely has an agenda like all other shows of TV. I think some stories are more researched than others. Like John talked about in one segment recently, they're mostly just condensing the work of other journalists into a tv segment with jokes.

Of course it's biased. It's based on his views. His name IS in the title of the show.
Regardless, he does a good job of bringing things to the forefront that nobody thinks of. I never knew there was a used car financing scam or an abuse of Charter schools.
Anyone who takes anything, any one person says as gospel, without doing their own research is naive and asking to fall for an agenda.

I'm sure he has. With shows like this, bias whether intentional or not is inevitable. That you keep up on being well informed is a good sign.
What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.
Well, why don't you be SPECIFIC because there is a difference between having an opinion and being totally biased and ignoring facts. Of course, Oliver has an OPINION.
Also, there are two possibilities when it comes to Hilary Clinton. One, Hilary Clinton is SO corrupt that she has corrupted the State Department, the FBI, several congressional sub-committee, an independent prosecutor back in the 1990's, and the entire LEGITIMATE US and international media (including comedians like John Oliver). Or two, while there is plenty of sleazy and questionable aspects to Hilary Clinton, there is simply no evidence to indict her for "serious crimes" or disqualify her from being president--and, if there were, wouldn't it be monumentally stupid of her to RUN for president in the first place? Of course, the tin-foil-hat people who STILL refuse to believe Obama was born in the US believe the first one, but the vast majority of reasonable and intelligent people concede that the second is far, FAR more likely.
I also love the people who insist the entire legitimate media ("liberal" media) has not looked into the recent wiki-leaks or the FBI reports on the Clinton e-mail scandal. YES THEY HAVE, and you would know that if you didn't get all your news from highly questionable sources. The fact that they haven't found anything all that damning MIGHT possibly mean they are all part of a giant conspiracy, but it more likely means there is simply nothing else to find.
