OK, I quit TV in the early 90s. Really.
But...
If you actually believe that a psychiatrist posts as anonymous on 4chan to share her professional insights, well, frankly, you've been watching too much fucking TV.

Lol no explanation is needed. Its a stupid shit show and it isn't funny.
They haven't been funny since 2014-2015 when they all became enraged in anyone questioning the narrative about the fucking nigger pets they seem to care so much about.
Niggers who dindu nuffin and 'they just keeds' redpilled me

I think everyone is sick of Brits on American TV. These are people who have sold out their next generation to murderous religious fanatics. This is a country that disarmed their own people, then left them to monsters who will murder them. This world has suffered to the British for hundreds of years with their Jewish controlled banks. I can't think of any fate too cruel for them.

Someone told me that people are more likely to believe someone with a British accent. I doubt that guy oliver is there by accident.

Very interesting observation, although I would argue that all entertainment news shows, including conservative ones use tactics like this.

After reading that tweet or post or thought - I had to google John Oliver. So now that I know who he is, because I watched a few minutes of his show to see the pacing, why the fuck does anyone watch it. The scariest thing was that it said the video had 4 million views. Is that a real number or was it watched by bots? Lol. Why would anyone watch such a stupid show?
E: TPTB pushed obama on us, they pushed McStain on us, and now we are supposed to watch that oliver idiot? Don't Americans have anything better to do than watch telly? I can tell the people in charge are just laughing at us, and pushing us to see how far they can go. Shoot your television before it hypnotizes your entire family.

There's been some shit 4chan posts but this one is up there. Starts by saying he's a psychologist, so he knows what he's talking about. Yeah right. Then a current affairs satire show is somehow bad for repeated use of current affairs. Facts in quotes to make you doubt they're facts. For some reason absurd metaphors in a satire show is bad, so is laughing. He has you hooked now because you don't like the show because you don't like your "side" being laughed at so he can go into a strawman argument about it. You're left confirming what you though before, "the media" is against you. The usual victim complex, everyone is against you so you have to stay strong and defiant against anyone who has a different opinion, anything that comes from the "left" is bad just because it came from "them". And idiots lap it up.
In another thread people will be laughing at psychologist, they're all conmen, because they said something voat doesn't like.

Yep. I enjoyed The Daily Show and Colbert well enough under Bush when the criticism was needed, but I started to notice them using their trickery under Obama, and they're right that John Oliver goes way further with it. They've gotten so good at deflecting with mockery that they can't self analyze anymore and it's killing their movement.

Right. It was comedic open season on Obama, just ask the clown (rodeo). Remember when John Stewart criticized Obama? As I recall he backpedaled on it real quick.
