[@POOHEAD189] It's not just a bias rhetoric. Not only have these shows plainly lied about their hosts political opponents but the very design of the segments themselves is highly manipulative on a psychological level. Whether its by choice of the hosts, the producers, or the broadcasters can be debated but frankly it doesn't matter. Shows like John Oliver's are attempts at social engineering, a practice that has almost six decades of experience by now. I'm not particularly qualified for explaining the psychological aspects of the shows, but you can read up on the subject by searching something along the lines of "media literacy" or you can read some of the works by [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky]Noam Chomsky[/url].
