    The more I see Oliver the more it becomes blatantly clear that his whole schtick is to employ progressive domestic politics as a Trojan horse for frothing at the mouth CIA propaganda when it comes to foreign affairs. And once he gets the audience going about something like abortion rights or gerrymandering, they keep on clapping like seals for the manufacturing consent portion of the program when he tells us "XYZ must go."

    The guy is a mercenary. He knows exactly what hes doing. You say all of the right things about a subject people are familiar with, then they take at your word when you start talking about a country they've never even heard of.
