People who react like this in interviews are almost always level headed truth tellers.

I literally laughed out loud. I've never seen an interviewer just nope out of an interview like that before.

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.

That was self preservation at its finest.

Was going to ask what on earth changed over at Newsmax?

I guess the potential of a massive lawsuit straightened their #### out haha.

Tickles me pink to see them having to censor the type of storylines that got them their historic jump in ratings in the first place.

Seeing them crumbling at the seams trying to do their jobs now while being utterly neutered is just delicious.

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".

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.

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 know what you mean. just bugging you.

I read that a new Jon Stewart show is going to be on Apple TV this year.
I couldn't find an exact date, though.

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.

Winning Senate majority was so key for the Dems.

EDIT: Hopefully this just means that high-income earners may have to pay it back in 2021.
