In all honesty, I had to stop watching awhile back precisely because he tends to ignore the bits at the edges that are not as clear-cut morally in order to maintain the narrative. Not a lot of grey areas on his show, but he does it better than most.

Gotta give it to John Oliver in his season opener offering Clarence Thomas 1 million dollars a year for the remainder of either Thomas's or Oliver's life (whichever comes first) PLUS a bonus "condo on wheels" 2.4 million dollar motor coach TO STEP DOWN FROM THE SUPREME COURT AND NEVER RETURN. Offer good for 30 days. .....and the Medal of Freedom goes to... John Oliver!

the whole LastWeekTonight idea of taking one topic & diving deep into it, has been my favorite format for "show&tell TV" since i first saw *"Quarks&co with Ranga Yogeshwar"* (1993) here in germany when i was a little kid! its a purely science program, but has exactly the same format as lwt! taking on topics, we always encounter in our lifes, but never really think deeply about, great stuff!
