As expected, John Oliver is not happy about the news that Bari Weiss is now the editor in chief of CBS News following Paramount's $150 million acquisition of her news site, The Free Press.
Robby Soave and Amber Duke discuss he latest episode of his show where Oliver spent nearly 35 straight minutes skewering Weiss and The Free Press and explaining why she is a bad fit to run not just CBS News, but any news network. In doing so, he betrayed a fundamental myopia about the legacy media's own failings.

John Oliver is not funny and now he's going to be a gameshow host with Kimmel and Colbert.

No, he's funny enough to avoid that fate.
His show is not funny, but I think it's mostly because he's not trying to be as funny as he was in the beginning, not that he is not good at telling jokes or being a funny person.
