I seriously LOVE this episode so much. It's certainly not the best episode out of all the others - I mean, ALL the episodes in this entire show are great, but still -... I specifically love this one so much more due to everything that transpired from it. What a great anti-Murray saga this became, lol. Perfect. I just love John for being bold and not afraid of being sued (I don't know whether to feel sorry or not for his team of lawyers however, due to all the fricking mess they have to deal with.. however, it must be kind of fun for lawyers to deal with these unique lawsuits rather than the regular boring litigations, so.. I both feel bad AND happy for his lawyer team lol.. 🤣🤣✊).
We need far more people doing important work like this. Challenging the powerful boldly without surrendering to obivious fear tactics.
I just LOVE comedic journalism. I know John doesn't consieer himself as a journalist, and I get that he's not - however, his show presents more accurate, TRUTHFUL and ethical journalism than ALL OTHER media companies combined (such as Faux "news", CNN, MSNBC, CBS etc., who's all lying to their auidence. They're essentially PR-firms for the powerful and corporations, while masquarading as "unbiased, truthful journalism". It's honestly incredibly sad that (certain) COMEDIANS provide far more truthful journalism and news, such as John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Jon Stweart at least previously when he hosted 'The Daily Show' and such, rather than the big corp-news outlets/mainstream media. True journalism is about afflicting the comfortable and powerful and comforting the average non-powerful person, not the other way around. Mainstream news outlets afflict the "true" people while comforting and giving cover and positive PR to the most powerful, which is DISGUSTING AF. It's sad that once trusted news outlets have become behldent to corporate, powerful and elitist interests. Thankfully, at least true journalism and proper reporting still exists - it's just a sad sign of the times that (some) COMEDIANS are (often times) more reliable than the big business of coproate media.
