The problem, of course, is Oliver is preaching to the choir.
John Oliver nails it.
John Oliver?
Who?
It is the grossest abuse of humans without actually doing physical bodily harm that there is. It is the equivalent of nonstop mental water-boarding to keep people thinking they are near death and they only have one savior to look to.
Was John Oliver the guy who was tap dancing that Trump got the nomination because that guaranteed Hillary's election?

I can't understand why that's not an immediate red flag regardless who says it.
Hmm... 1958.... Rump would have been the impressionable age of twelve years old. And we know how he's addicted to TV........
John Oliver didn't mention, but could have, that Alex Jones is the 21st century incarnation of John Brinkley.
John R Brinkley (1885-1942) was a quack who posed as a doctor traveling around selling snake oil products, played right-hand man to another snake oil salesman named "Dr. Burke" hawing virility products, and eventually became infamous for goat gland operations, purportedly yet another male virility scam reminiscent of Jones hawking his "Super Male Vitality".
Brinkley was also known for inventing the infomercial, which like Jones he disseminated via pushing the envelope of the media of his time, building a Mexican "border blaster" radio station (XERA) unencumbered by US power regulations, powerful enough to reach all the way to Canada, to sell his quackery in order to avoid the United States legal encumbrances that grafting goat nuts onto people tended to attract (and after losing his own station license in Kansas).
And he also used his notoriety to run for Governor of Kansas, as a write-in and mostly to lift quack regulations off himself, and would have won that office if the state hadn't changed the rules. He even campaigned for the office via his Mexican radio signal, literally phoning it in to the station, a practice which is now illegal under the Brinkley Act.
Brinkley, like Jones, was a master of the publicity stunt and used emotional appeals to ego and shaming to sell his idiocy.
Brinkley is referenced in ZZ Top's "Heard it on the X":[56]
"We can all thank Doctor B who stepped across the line. With lots of watts he took control, the first one of its kind."
After amassing great wealth from his con artistry (no word on how many Rolex watches he had but "a dozen Cadillacs, a greenhouse, a foaming fountain garden surrounded by 8,000 bushes, exotic animals imported from the Galapagos Islands, and a swimming pool with a 10-foot (3.0 m) diving tower.[54]", then losing a medical license (from a diploma mill), losing his radio outlets, multiple lawsuits for fraud and wrongful deaths and declaring bankruptcy, Brinkley died penniless in a Texas hospital.
Alex Jones is halfway there.

No F%cking Way. A real tv show from 1958 with a character named Trump, that is in essence a snake oil salesman in the old west, that is running around trying to scare everyone and offering to build a wall to save them. You know he watched this. That is some creepy accurate shit and it captures his nature as well as that of Alex Jones of the worst rats that crawl along on their bellies and spend their lives scamming people. The kicker? Trump says "you can't prove a thing".
Here's the entire show:
John Oliver nails it.
John Oliver nails it.
John Oliver is the guy who begged Trump to run, moron.
