Also most of The Daily Show's coverage of Occupy Wall Street was pretty bad. I bet if John Oliver's Last Week Tonight was around then Oliver's piece would probably be like "Yeah look at these OWS folks, a lot of them are pretty silly. But let's listen to their points" and then touch on the issues of income inequality and corporate greed that were fueling the movement and point out those are WAY bigger issues. TDS was mostly "haha look at these silly hippies...oh but look a their conservative critics too! Yeah admittedly those people are a lot worse", which strikes me as similar to if someone right after WWII did some comparison of the Dachau Massacre and the whole Nazi concentration camps with equal focus but then said something like "But yeah, of course what the Nazis did was a lot worse."
