That's always how I've seen that whole school of Leftist Agitprop Poli-comedy . It just the fundamental lack of HONESTY. I can't ever get past it . I want to say " hey wait but.,." But by them Oliver/ Colbert/ Stewart are already in to the next weirdly vacuous comedic deconstruction of the facts. And the slack- jawed audience is just this reactionary, unquestioning amen corner. I hate the essential LIE of the whole concept.

I don't know about the psychological effect or hypnotic properties, but his description of the show's formula is pretty accurate. In fact, it's the same with every "comedy"/talk show on TV. They all do the same thing. I honestly don't know how any thinking person can stand watching them.

I bet that "psychologist" is a big fan of Freud.

People pay extra, hard-earned money, on a monthly basis to watch this guy?

About the only thing that pisses me off about Trump getting elected is that I can't watch any of these shows anymore. I used to find Maher and Oliver funny, but I can't watch even a few minutes now. If you're a lib though, these shows must be hilarious nowadays - there's obviously a lot of fodder for comedy right now.

Most will laugh at this. This is why folks can't seem to figure out the strange events that impact our world.

The goal for some is the influence opinion by "guiding" the masses. The intelligence community (the little birds) really works for "the few" and the "Iron bank"....





I will post more this weekend about the game played above and the "entertainment" industry....

Probably something to the OP.

My input is that I can't believe only Oliver was able to get any real lasting damage in on Trump during the campaign with the "Drumpf" schtick. Trump is so bulletproof that professional comedic writers had 18 months to damage him, but couldn't.

FWIW I thought the Drumpf thing was super lame and unclever, but acknowledge that it did get some traction.

I'll give Oliver credit, he's basically begged multiple industries to sue him. Even Penn and Teller danced around certain words to not get sued.

What news media isn't just opinion dressed as news these days?

Ratings and partisanship drive everything.


The sad thing is that there are people out there who value Jon Oliver's opinion on politics enough that he banks millions to share it.

I don't know about brainwashing new converts, but there is something to the effect of the structure and cadence on the lib viewers. Libs watch it to feel superior to everybody else and this structure facilitates that feeling without any thought. Their world view is confirmed in their minds and they can feel mentally elite without the work.

It's not even comedy when the crowd reacts like this



When you watch these shows, rather than laughing, the crowd just cheers and claps. It isn't funny, it's group think and a leftist echo chamber.

When Oliver's show first started in 2014, I thought he was hilarious, and really enjoyed it. Not so much anymore.
