Thank goodness John Oliver and Last Week Tonight is back!
His topical comedy is great, mainly because of his perspective. Not only does he hilariously rip on England and being British, but his 'not from around here' viewpoint allows him to analyze and dissect American politics and culture with a rare, priceless nuance.
Last Week Tonight, his show, also features some of the best investigative reporting, period. As I've posted here before, he covers many topics deemed too boring to cover by the main stream media, and he shows exactly why the media NEEDS to be covering them. He also has the guts to try to breakdown the huge issues, ones whose size and scope scare off traditional journalists.
That's exactly what he did last week when he called out the GOP for their non-replacement replacement of the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare. This is a great video to forward anyone who hates Obamacare and thinks the Republicans are on the verge of a far better replacement. Spoiler alert: they're not, and whatever they put in the ACA's place will be a lot worse than it's predecessor.
Warning: A lot of bad language and a few images which are funny but unpleasant! You've been warned!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!
