Ever notice how whenever you criticize Trump all his disciples come out and start saying "Well Hillary is worse" or "What about Hillary?" This is what we call *deflection:* where people are replying to valid criticism of a candidate by shifting the topic so they don't have to come to terms with the implications that their messiah is not so messianic.

Except when a channel that is supposed to cover political news is supposed to be objective, and they don't fucking report on Clinton's lies, or the recent DNC email leak scandal then you know there is a fucking problem. Its not deflection. If you are trying to come off as objective, then report on both fucking sides.

@Rodman200818 7 років тому
+youngbloodx The DNC is coming week. The email leak was briefly mentioned at the start of the program. We will see what oliver says coming Sunday. Then we can compare. It is indeed deflection, whether or not the other's have problems or deflect too.

Since when is a political comedy show supposed to be "objective"? Oh right, no one ever claimed it was! Besides, Trump has consistently outclassed Hillary when it comes to lying both in volume and audacity. And as for the leaks, are you asking that he cover something that *just* happened? You realize this wasn't filmed earlier today, right?
@Tom-jy3in
@Tom-jy3in 7 років тому
This is not a news station. They make comedic content and apparently the people that run the show decided that Clinton's lies don't make for great comedy. It doesn't really fit that greatly either considering that the show's mostly about debunking. Anyone who entirely bases his political opinion on a single source is a fucking idiot (especially when you look at the US media landscape, it seems like if you don't go beyond TV all you get is pure propaganda)

@AmbyJeans
@AmbyJeans 4 роки тому
John J How did Obama create more celebrity status? He was not a celebrity running for president. He had to work to get to where he got, he came up on the political circuit. I've been hearing republicans call him "the celebrity president" since 2008 and it makes no sense. He was not the first president to have celebrities in the White House, to have had contact with them, etc. so what exactly made him a celebrity president? The fact that he was beloved by most of the country and the world? And why does no one call Reagan a celebrity president? Dude was literally a celebrity. He started off as a movie star then became governor of California. This just seems like another way to somehow lay blame on Obama's feet. This was not his fault. Trump belongs to the GOP and its voters. Obama didn't make it ok for a celebrity to be president.

I spend this past weekend with a family from Tennessee. Whenever politics came up, their argument for voting Republican WAS ALWAYS based on feelings. And this is where the Republicans are brilliant: they are able to tap into the basic fear receptors of the mammalian brain and make it seem that everything is bad, scary, etc. and getting worse when its not at all mathematically true. The thing is, its really hard to convince someone who FEELS THINGS ARE TRUE that they aren't at all true. Why? I think part of it is many of these people have narrative running inside their brains and they just want so badly (guns good/gays bad/god great/racism good/diversity bad/whatever) to the point of just anyone that fits a tiny bit of that narrative is fine EVEN if (big picture) it will make them poorer, less (truly) free, and so on.

This is kind of my point. Politics, by its very nature, solicits positions that are wrong. People vote, for the most part, based on their ideologies. It is very hard to change these ideologies even if they are wrong. So either because the politicians believe something themselves or because they are cynically trying to get the votes of the people who do, they will take positions that are not backed up by fact or only look at facts that support their beliefs. This is not exclusive to one side of the isle. It is just much easier to see when it's on the side you don't agree with.

You can easily edit the Democratic convention coming up to appear to be only about feelings as well.

The first Amendment exists to protect speech we dont want to hear, so for John Oliver to say Trump should have stopped Cruz, I feel this is the opposite direction of Free Speech.
@hgb0005

That's not the point of the 1st amendment. It doesn't allow you to say whatever you want and not be judged, or negatively affected, or disagreed with. The 1st amendment prevents Congress from passing a law restricting free speech. It's the Republican National Convention. People are trying to convince the country why Donald Trump should be voted for in the election. If you're Donald Trump, why on earth would you let a guy speak when you knew he wasn't going to endorse you? That doesn't make sense - has nothing to do with allowing free speech. Do you think Kia dealerships want ex-Kia drivers on the lot telling prospective buyers to follow their instincts and everything they've heard about how crappy Kias are? Even if there was such a crazy person who wanted to do that, Kia would have no obligation to allow it. The 1st amendment does not ensure that Kia must allow that person to do that if he or she wanted to.

Moreover, he is just as corrupt as Hillary and only idiots refused to see it, especially since he had publicly attempted to intimidate a judge and investigators who are investigating him for fraud. I don't even want to mention how he allowed his staff to try to officially campaign foreign politicians for money. I understand most American want to get rid of corruption in politics (myself among them), but I am at awe some think Trump will end it considering his wealth and fame were gained by associating with the corrupted politicians.

He does have a monopoly on people BELIEVING his own reality. I know Hillary is a liar. But in my honest opinion, she's more likely to be a puppet for smarter people than Trump is, so I'm going to vote for her. I really would have preferred Bernie, but seeing as this country is too much of a mess for any kind of socialism, we instead have two awful choices.
