LOL the best part is the male anchor bailing at 1:52 like "#### this guy"
You can almost see his soul dying as he decides to leave
'man what happened to me, I thought I was going to be a legitimate reporter, Cronkite was my hero, I must have watched 'Good Night and Good Luck' and "All the President's Men' a thousand times'
That bailing anchor probably believes every word my pillow crazy guy said. It’s just he’s been told if he mentions it again he’s getting fired and sued into oblivion.
COVID relief bill passed 50-49 so you can probably guess how many Republicans voted for it. I get that their raison d'être at this point is to oppose everything Dem (random aside: Dems should propose banning abortion and eliminating religious tax exemptions just to see), but this still seems pretty short sighted to not even throw a few token Republican votes to claim "bipartisanship".

That was self preservation at its finest.
Oh I agree. It doesn't change the fact that his nope out was epic, but you're right I doubt it was done for integrity sake.

The vaccine distribution issue continues to be a massive #### show down here. Just got confirmation yesterday that only 1/3 of our 1st responders will get the vaccine because of shortages from the feds. We are waiting on the new admin's orders to be distributed. The Trump admin's plan has been an epic failure and things are only getting worse. We are hopeful there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but things are pretty dark right now.
I don't know, misinformation is dangerous to me, no matter what. Your example isn't concerning but he has a platform and shows his true colors in how he wants to use it.
Is he as much as a problem as Fox News commentary? Hell no
Is it still dangerous to me? Yes
If you think Oliver is dangerous, then you better load your guns and hunker down when the new Jon Stewart show starts. you'll think it was the end of days.

Jon has a new show? I am excited! Not being sarcastic.
But something can be dangerous to society without being considered close to the end of times.
I would be interested to see a quite specific breakdown of how John Oliver omitted key facts about issue ___ that ended up in consequence ____
Not just talk about misinformation can be dangerous and generalized false equivalencies
Spell it out for us using a specific example of a dangerous omission of key facts and its lifecycle
Thanks in advance
I haven't watched this video yet, so I have no idea if it supports or detracts from John Oliver's piece on SLAPP suits.
