"Mock Alex Jones"? As if it requires some sort of, I dunno, effort to do so? All you gotta do is play actual footage of Jones on a good day and the jokes kinda write themselves. This is low-hanging fruit. I think Colbert is getting lazy…

Let's take, for example, how Oliver fell for the Clinton propaganda line that Hillary was the only candidate who could possibly beat Trump, both during the primary and later during the election. This despite the inconvenient fact that all the polls, since the primaries on, demonstrated consistently that Clinton only…

Well, I do aim to impress random strangers on the internet, so, thanks…

And, yet, he fell for the Clinton's act. Somehow, I am not reassured. On the other hand, he does seem to have a knack for noticing the blindingly obvious, when it doesn't accord with his pre-established biases, that is. So, I guess, kudos are in order. Now, I don't want to be accused of being unfair to Oliver,…

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely for now. On the other hand, O'Reilly's show is/was one of the highest rated programs on Fox, so was Beck's for that matter. Don't forget, Phil Donahue's show on MSNBC was one of the highest rated on that network, and he was fired when he became inconvenient (that is, when he…

I guess you haven't been keeping up with her "Russia hacked the election" coverage. As if that wasn't bad enough, her insistence that it amounts to an act of war is insane war-mongering piled on top of insane conspiracy-mongering. Of course, one person's conspiracy is another person's reality. At this point, the only…

Sorry, not that cute I'm afraid to say. If anything, I'm on the side of journalistic ethics and against insane conspiracy-mongers. Not that it makes much difference, especially in the political climate we're in. People's knee-jerk partisan reactions are what's keeping grifters like Beck, O'Reilly, Maddow, et al. in…

First Glenn Beck, now Bill O'Reilly. Good riddance. Which leaves us free to focus on getting rid of Rachel Maddow and the other purveyors of fake news, who've come to dominate the media landscape of the post-Obama world. I have no hope that Chris Matthews is going anywhere, though…

Someone will take you seriously one day, I promise.

I'm sorry that responding to comments directed at me offends you so much. But, then again, I wouldn't waste my time attacking someone for doing so, just cuz that would make me come off as an asshole. But, hey, to each their own, I guess…

Find me someone of note who's suggesting Oliver is any more significant than you're making him out to be.

That's really, really funny. You are a talented person. Congratulations. Got any more? Love to hear 'em…

Yes, you should.

"See, I'm a nobody too, but at least I'm not bitter about it," he said, bitterly.

Check out my second post, I made similar comments. My issue isn't necessarily with Oliver himself, who, to his credit, seems to have the the same analysis of his importance in the wider world as I do. Which is not much importance to speak of. But, unfortunately, some of has fans seem to think he does, which is where I…

Um, OK. Any other tidbits of wisdom you'd like to share with us?

Is it not possible he merely has an audience who appreciates what he does as a comedian without singing his holy praises?

Because clearly you have one, to consider a guy with a TV show and national audience a "mediocrity." I mean, logic and all.

And I get the feeling that you have the feeling that you need to prove something to me. Does that make sense? Not really. But, then again, psychoanalysis seems to be the favorite pastime of those who have nothing to say…

An utter mediocrity is a person who cannot properly use an ellipsis.
