John Oliver is a twat.

That’s all. Proceed with your day.

Why's that? I've long since abandoned those dinosaur shows whose audience is mostly people of my age who want to relive their dorm room days watching Jon Stewart in the common room. (No offense, Ax.)

You know I really don’t know why he’s a twat. I’m guessing he was born that way.

Seriously though I just saw some clip of his that went viral where he’s got the whole twat-impersonation thing down.

[Horace]

His show is another reliable pop culture left messaging apparatus, minor variation on Jon Stewart, like so many other shows named or not named Daily Show. So I don't need reminding that he's a twat, any more than I need reminding that Trevor Noah is a twat.

@Horace said in The haters are saying it’s AI:

Hate has no home here

I don't know. Gemini just basically told me I was an idiot for asking a similar question to the prior one. I don't need snide systems.

The Bari Weiss clip?

[jon-nyc]

Yeah

[Horace]

Looked it up. Something about how he's terrified now that the media is going to be biased. Simple human cognitive failing, assuming one's own perspective is the neutral, objective perspective, and deviations from it in the wrong direction, are the result of bias or various personal deficiencies.

He likes to lead with an air of objectivity, research and facts. But I remember a few years ago he had a polemic against a topic I understood very well. It became really easy to see the distortions and lies through omission. Haven't seen his show since.
