Topic	Why don't conservatives have a John Oliver type show?

Many of them were politically connected in nature, even in the early days of the show. The earliest ones were capital punishment, the global warming controversy, net neutrality, and immigration reform. The show has never not been political. It's only recently that nearly everything political has revolved around Trump. Oh I don't disagree that the show has always been political, but it was tackling topics in a way that wasn't just left talking points. For instance the issues above, are rarely party line defining. Yes, your average democrat is more likely to be against capital punishment, believe that global warming exists, and for net neutrality. But if a conservative told you that they were against capital punishment, believed that global warming was happening, and was pro net neutrality, would you really question if they were conservative or not? I would say of my conservative friends each of them subscribes to at least one or more of those points. Maybe apolitical was the wrong word but his segments mostly consisted of this is what issue is this is why it is bad/good. This is what we are not doing about it. --- S** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again.* - Forgotten Love Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl <cite>Gheb posted [p:901855463] in Why don...
