I thought it was a great mini-summary of the whole affair given at the beginning. I am not knowledgeable enough to know how accurate it is, but I appreciated seeing & hearing it at least!:-)

MODERATORS
John isn't perfect. But he's one of the closest to being. He was pretty spot on.
Comedians are not always well informed. But a well informed skilled comedian can speak truth to power to its face where most others would struggle.
Oliver has a skilled research team most "news" shows could only dream about. Because most these days don't have one. And they can spend at least a week at minimum doing a deep dive. Often much more. They don't shy away from controversy. Finally when they do make a mistake. They generally correct within the next episode or two. Always before the main segment. While everyone is still watching them. Not trying to speed read it on the outro as everyone is tuned out as so many shows do.
He is one of the last real journalists left:-).
