John Oliver's Show on Lawsuits
Quote | Reply
If you don't totally dislike his show, you may not consider this a waste of time. I feel like he elevated his game with his latest episode.

SLAPP Suits


While he takes some journalistic liberties (as all do to some degree), I generally think people are usually smarter for having watched his episodes.

John claims he's not, but he definitely veers beyond satire and comedy into serious topics, with legitimate investigation.

Is a journalist? Not officially, maybe accidentally, maybe semi-intentionally. In my opinion, I think he does a better job than some who claim to be journalists.

Great episode. I really enjoy watching his show, he and his team really do deep dives into the subject and I feel like I learn quite a bit for them. He puts things out that make for great discussion even if you don't necessarily agree with him. I used to work in the nephrology/dialysis unit at the hospital and I would have all my students watch his episode on dialysis so they could better understand the business side of it.

That was pretty funny, and sad..Good on Oliver going where others are treading lightly, or simply avoiding..
