Granted, the report comes from John Oliver himself so it's possibly #FakeNews but Oliver did spend a large amount of time in the previous episode purposefully trying to provoke a lawsuit where, among other things, he invited the plaintiff, Robert Murray, to sue him. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

I don't agree that he's a troll by default-he was trolling the guy in this case but he seriously needed it and the case is pretty likely to get thrown out as this guy is very litigious and petty when mentioned personally. Hopefully they had the lawyers look over the script to make sure they didn't make it extra easy for them and it goes away so they can get on with making fun of him some more lol ...

Not sure how you reached that conclusion, but you do you. You do you. TheGreatNoodles posted... Where's the option for 'never heard of him'? I guess that falls under "I do not watch him"... That would fall under the plain old "No" option. quigonzel posted... After Trump was on the cusp of winning the election, his bias emerged and then, like every damn other late night/news comedy show, he couldn't shut the fuck up about Trump. I'm not a Trump supporter, I stay out of politics, but when I see it on Facebook, Newspapers, blogs and on TV, it just gets old hearing about Trump constantly. So I've just stopped watching. Well, his bias was always pretty visible, but either because his bosses told him to go after Trump (HBO is owned by Time Warner which donated heavily to the Clintons) or because he realized it's great for ratings, it's been pretty non-stop since then. A lot of the recurring gags for it are misses, such as his continuing "two words which..." bit And yeah, he still manages to work a significant amount of Trump outrage into every show. The most recent episode had a really long clip about Trump talking about vaccines during the primary debate although it was much funnier during the actual debate because Ben Carson and Rand Paul -- both actual doctors -- were asked about it next and neither one seemed to want to outright criticize Trump for his comments. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

Erik_P posted...I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you think people who give sources for the things they say are trolls. I lol'd @ Erik being Erik. Overlooking that Oliver is pretty damn selective when it comes to choosing sources and puts so much spin on things as to render the sources irrelevant (that's when he bothers mentioning a source at all; quite a few of his arguments are just "BECAUSE OF COURSE THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!" with comedic emphasis being used in lieu of any evidence at all), he has a large team -- both paid staffers and lots of unpaid interns -- to gather material for him. As for 87, I'm frequently in the plurality although, when my opinion differs, people focus on it more. And, on this particular subject, many on the board seem willing to admit that Oliver slants the fuck out of things. It's only Erik who takes Oliver's word without question. And the idea that Oliver is a troll shouldn't be very controversial, given how many of his segments are largely devoted to annoying particular celebrities, companies, and persons in hopes of getting a reaction. (Case-in-point: Asking somebody to sue him... and then acting overjoyed when it happens.) And, if you'll recall, he's managed to get many reactions which, in turn, he's posted on the show in the hopes of keeping a feud going. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

Not to mention that this same guy also claimed that people didn't pick starters based on evolutions. I never argued that, hence my lack of photographic evidence. It would be foolish to argue that. But that's what happens when you take words out of context. People absolutely pick starters for their evolutions. But you took my words out of context. I was arguing that, for the sake of the poll series, people aren't (shouldn't be) choosing their votes based on said starter's evolution. There's a massive difference between the two. Zeus posted... Otherwise, you're remarkably touchy about John Oliver getting called a troll, which is lulz in itself. I couldn't care less about the topic at hand.
