John Oliver has a good episode on union busting on his HBO show "Last Week Tonight".

I used to think well of those John Oliver pieces until he did one about a subject I knew deeply. Now I assume everything he does is a one sided hit piece that leaves out important details that completely change the picture.

The one on the energy grid was wrong on many levels, and didn't understand fundamentally the relationship between renewables generation and transmission.

What subject do you know deeply and what is your specific criticism of his piece?

I wouldn't encourage anyone to learn about complex topics from John Oliver in the same way I wouldn't encourage them to learn about them from Tucker Carlson. They're both entertainers first and foremost and have little to no obligation to report on the basis of fact and instead exist largely to tell their viewers what they already believe.
