John Oliver is doing communist edging. The point is to get as near as possible to understanding the underlying systemic issues that are the actual cause of everything he looks at, without ever actually getting there.

He would be filtered out if he said something that anti-capital. It's similar to the Manufacturing Consent model, except John Oliver and that type is the furthest left the system can tolerate. Jon Stewart getting kicked off Apple comes to mind.

Jon Stewart wanted to do "investigative" and critical pieces on both China and artificial intelligence. I dunno if it would have been left-wing.
