Fwiw, my own personal view of politics has changed just a bit over the last year or so, and its coincided with the kind of change that Oliver is describing here. The consolidation of the media into a few hands has now reached the point of…well, you know.
And this was SOOOO obvious during the Trump v Hillary campaign, and the ‘fake news’ reports, and the Russia thing, etc etc.
We now have a batshit-crazy Rightwing pro-corporate media. Battling with a batshit-crazy Neoliberal pro-corporate media. And the latter seems just as dangerous in its own way as the former.
The corporate-media situation in America has simply blown my mind, people.
