(15,610 posts)1. IMO, John Oliver
is the ONLY US/UK journalist/comedian who has ever so well communicated the facts about the current Gaza conflict.
Some of his previous videos on this conflict are also classics.
He also highlights that when one elects an a**hole and SOB into power, that person will ACT like an a**hole and SOB, which is also pertinent to what we have done to ourselves in the USA.

Fortunately, they changed the categories for the Emmys this year so Stephen Colbert had a chance to win. And, of course, John Oliver won as usual - his only completion this year was SNL. And, as usual, John Oliver is completely right.
