Watching that, it dawned on me why I don't like that Oliver guy (or Stewart for same reason). I don't care to be shouted at, hectored, or lectured to -- which is what it feels like to me.I don't get that vibe so much from Oliver. Stewart definitely became more and more condescending, blatantly anti-republican, and snarky as he approached the end of his show. Oliver seems to be taking a better tact of simply focusing on specific issues or problems and exposing them, rather than being on an anti-conservative hunt. But I can see how, if you don't watch him often, or don't agree with the things he thinks are not right, you might feel like he's preaching at you. I wouldn't say that he's condescending. If anything, he's pretty frequently self deprecating. For many Americans, it seems to be worse because he does it in an English accent.
