What is incorrect in the video? Oliver has been doing "jouro-comedy" segments in his show from the start, and they're usually very well researched.

Alex Jones claims that Obama and Hillary smell like sulfur because they are possessed by demons. Needless to say, I don't think your comparison is accurate.

I don't know enough about this subject to say if anything is wrong, but on every politicial subject that I knew about he was extremely misleading.

See: Gell-Mann Amnesia effect

Could you please give some examples where he was misleading and how?

I don't remember any off hand but later I will rewatch an episode and list the problems. In the meantime you could search YouTube for "John Oliver rebuttal"

We'll be here waiting

I've been a bit busy but here it is. (BTW: is there a way to get HN to notify you when someone comments?) I will be talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8pjd1QEA0c Student Debt.

1:11 Student debt is bad because they will sue you in court. : Well of course they will. Its not like they can take away your car if you stop paying your debt.

3:30 Why did student loans increase so much? States slashed funding for higher institutions causing colleges to increase tuition. : Or maybe because more people are eligible for student loans. Having the government back student loans is linked to the increase in tuition according to this: https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/staff...

5:16 Students at for profit schools account for 31% of student loans having just 13% of the students. : Does anyone expect a private company meant for people with few options to be cheeper than ivy league schools that offer on average $40,000 of aid per student? I don't have sources but I would imagine that the 13% most expensive car sales would account for around 31% of car sales.

9:00 Looks at one specific program at itt and says that it has an 8% employment rate and 25% didn't graduate: There is / was (I don't know if it is over yet) a lawsuit against itt and the plaintiff claims that the employment rate was around 50% http://www.ajc.com/news/education/lawsuit-claims-itt-tech-ex... . Also, what do you expect from a college that excepts anyone who can pay? If they graduated everyone than their credibility would be worse than it already is. Any place that accepts anyone will have a low success rate (eg. Hollywood and start ups)

And the most annoying point about his videos is that he doesn't propose a solution. It feels like making a video about how chemo is so bad and painful but then doesn't mention any alternative. In this analogy John Oliver would like to ban or severely limit chemo.

Your job was to provide examples of "extremely misleading" statements by Oliver. You didn't actually disprove any of the four examples that you cited. You merely posited alternate theories or additional causes.

As such, I'm not going to bother replying to them.

But I suggest that you do some more careful research before using ITT Technical Institute to make a political or economic arrgument:

A better comparison to John Oliver might be Sean Hannity or another relatively reality-bound pundit.

Sean Hannity is your example of a reality-bound pundit? Your standards must not be very high.
