Did you watch the videos? This wasn't a secret. Also, neither of the Clintons were in government in April of 2013. What this is right here is an attempt by some far-right news blog to sling mud at Colbert and claim that the Colbert Report is "fake news" controlled by the Clintons. To put it as Trump might:

No fake news! No fake news! Colbert Report is fake news!

He openly expressed extreme butt hurt on his late night show when Hillary lost. All the talk show host did. I know because I watched all of them just to see it. Best show of their careers. I have since tuned out. I just wanted to see them defeated after a year of peddling BS.

Anyone who would trust any of the people in any form of media needs to have their heads checked. These people have alot to loose favor with TPTB.

Yeah, definitely. Even his DNC episode was more about Trump than the actual DNC. No mention of Clinton's scandals, which were piling up all around her at the time, and I remember a lot of people were calling him out on social media.

I liked John Oliver before the election. He said back in 2015 that he wasn't going to cover the election, than did a complete U-turn when the media started to dog pile on Trump. Everyone I know who used to enjoy his show thinks he's an idiot now.

Yeah he was definitely pulling for Clinton. Which on a personal level is fine. But on a show with millions of viewers, and him not really covering all of the issues, it's problematic.

His mockery of Sanders and Stein supporters is what did it for me.

There were a number of famous liberal people I lost some respect for during this election, due to their failure to discuss the real issues or for mocking all liberals who criticized Clinton.

I am not a consumer of the news media on Tv. Don't see the point. But these guys are always too smart for the room and I won't take tome to watch em. Kinda a liberal Glenn Beck.
