Last Week Tonight & John Oliver in the Media

[Mod-Tigerkatze]

Hi everyone,

just dropping in with a quick reminder that this is the "Last Week Tonight" media topic. New posts suggest news on "Last Week Tonight" or John Oliver to everyone who frequents the forum, so, out of consideration for your fellow members and guests, please keep the discussion about the show's politics in the respective episode threads.

As you post, please remember that the Israel-Gaza conflict is a complex and personal subject. Everything that is said has a heightened impact and affects not just the person we reply to but everyone around us. Before you post, it can therefore be helpful to consider how your words may come across to another poster, to someone who is personally affected. Keep in mind that the focus should be on the facts and not any individual, disagree with respect and the goal to understand another person’s point of view and most importantly, don’t make it personal.

Thank you.

John's getting warmed up for his first episode of the year. Tonight, he popped in on Jon Stewart.

You can skip to here if you want. Jon's still good at what he does, but it's basically flailing at how messed up things are these days.
