ReplyOh God, I don’t know how to evaluate it but “Muslims attack at dawn” had me in tears”.
ReplyImagine not having advertising on news.
This message brought to you by the German Federal Government.
ReplyW…yo skip the Phoenix and just get a Hitachi guys we won’t snitch
ReplyJohn has become so boring
ReplyClooney is right, that’s not how you do it!!
ReplyAhh I just love this show
Replyme: going to hell
Replythe devil: have you heared of raid shadow legends?
you can give someone whos loosing temparature a blanket… that makes using a blanket a medical procedure of sorts… fyi 😉
ReplyClooney is a lunatic, who gets a massage after eating dinner? :O
ReplyNaturopaths aren’t doctors. Please don’t give them that honorific reserved for ppl dedicated to actual academic and medical pursuits.
ReplyPlease Mr Oliver do an interview with Meet Kevin to get Gavin Newsom out……..!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyJohn: “…too easy to make a ridiculous product…”
ReplyMe: “You did it didn’t you”
John: “We did”
If the commercial content isn’t distinguishable from the news content you maybe have more of a problem with the latter…
Reply“Technology pioneered in Germany 80 years ago” Oh nononono 😀
ReplyWhere can I buy this Venus Veil thing sounds amazing
ReplyLet’s hear it for the Venus Veil actress. She brought it home.
ReplyYou could have used unloaded, I’m very disappointed John.
ReplyI’m surprised it was that cheap to get these ads on TV that are not even labeled as ads
ReplyI’ve worked for Sinclair and I’ve worked for Nexstar. I’ll say this, Sinclair does not give one single fuck about their employees. I was assaulted and harassed by a man that I worked with on several occasions, even filed a police report on him and they did nothing. Wouldn’t recommend working for this company to anyone. All they care about is making hella money and not paying their staff adequately. I hope they get sued.
Replyvenus veil, load towel. same thing.
ReplyHonestly, I’ve studied advertisements, I’ve studied how something like Adsense works, I’ve seen how advertisements do lead to more sales, but…
I still don’t fucking get it. Maybe it’s because I’ve NEVER been inspired to buy a product other than if I see it at a bus stop billboard.
ReplyYou made the real life Adult Swim infomercials
ReplyGreat, so I can’t read KXAN *or* KVUE now. Thanks a lot, John!
ReplyI feel like the headlines at 9:25 are much more interesting than whatever’s going on.
ReplyNazi fuck blanket? Get them a slot I don’t care what it takes!
ReplyWhyd I think this would be about youtube spons
ReplyI wonder if I watch this more religiously than the average church attendee…
ReplyCan’t speak about the other two locations, but it doesn’t surprise me this happened in Utah. (BTW, I’m a lifelong resident.) After all, Utahns are used to believing things that aren’t true.
ReplyI remained a casual spectator until the line “…our nazi era fuck blanket” and then hysterically lost my shit. Over and over, I can count on this show to provide mindful insight while making me roll around in laughter. This will most likely be the only nazi era fuck blanket I ever laugh and and for that, thank you.
ReplyOof I watch kvue to get my news.
ReplyLol, loved the cameo from Mr. Clooney. Wasn’t expecting that.
ReplyPeople trust their local news… And then there is fox, oann, newsmaxx et al, spreading malicious, racist, bigoted, dangerous anti-science lies and even lies leading to seditionies for chetojesus.
ReplyI absolutely love the way John says the word “vagina”
ReplyThis show keeps pulling shit off.
ReplyJust wanted to say, Huntsman Cancer *is actually great* despite the sketchy bit in the local news. It’s a fair criticism, though.
ReplyOnce again I feel bad for Americans.
ReplyI’m seeing ads for the blanket…
ReplyThis is brilliant.
ReplyWow, Honeysuckle Farms stock through the roof. People mane fun of me when I put my life savings in HSUCK instead of GME. Thank you John! Thank you so much!
ReplyMusic videos do this too
Replythanks for the information, just feels no matter how much exposure you make, shet moves slowly or just stays the same. not to say you’re not doing anything, just feels like all i can do, is laugh about how stupid this is, and just keep being sad that, it wont change..
ReplyGet a virtual audience John. We need the canned laughter
ReplyAre you saying Jungle Children aren’t real?
ReplyYes, Alex, I’ll take “Nazi Era Fuck Blankets” for 300 please.
ReplyThe Cloon.
ReplyMedicine has been bought out and sold out.
Reply%879.00, holy shit was worth a laugh, then a sigh for people who actually bought it.
ReplyHow the hell (hell is allowed on tv) can a news anchor say the F word on tv and NOT get fired???
ReplyI lost it at “Pioneered in Germany about 80 years ago”
Reply20:07 barely an inconvenience.
ReplyKudos to the “news team” for not cracking up during the “Rocket” presentation. That’s Emmy-worthy.
ReplyThe scary part is that the actress keeps smiling throughout the whole segment, and makes it sound really convincing (also helps that she’s gorgeous).
ReplyI gotta be honest with you, when I was in middle school, the English teachers would keep yapping on about “critical thinking” and I would be like “come on already!” Now you see these garbage shoved down gullible people’s throats and you realize, people gotta have some effing critical thinking!
ReplyOh man I feel like some therapy. How about iT? Brian, my own storm Koller
ReplyIf only you could get the nazi-era fuck blanket on sinclair’s “the muslims attack at dawn” segment

ReplyLWT is back to the expensive pranking bits, the pandemic is officially over

ReplySponsored content? So is it not about the Hot Tub meta then?
ReplyUtah people (both of whom have clearly only had sex with their spouse and only their spouse listen getting orange takes a lot of tan time) straight up pretending they invented a vibrator. I’m dying. I love Mormons going “DID U NO U CAN MASSURBAT??????????? GUYS. THE REST OF THE WORLD? DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU TOUCH YOUR PEE PEE IT FEEL NICE?????”
ReplyHow many orders did you get?
Replysnaps fingers
ReplyI was waiting for him to reveal that the whole “Magnetogenetics, pioneered in Germany about 80 years ago” was a word for word excerpt from an X-Men comic about Magneto’s origin.
ReplySome of the trolliest trolling to have ever been trolled. Well played LWT. Well played.
ReplyWhile these snake oil salesmen needed to be addressed, I’d hoped that this segment would have touched on the more insidious problem of corporations funding news to prevent or spin stories that could affect them.
Reply2:02 “Maintaining journalistic independence from advertisers is critically important.”
ReplyAs is maintaining neutral political view in journalism, isn’t it, John?
Holy cringe
Replyman she said that “the fuck are you doin” with her entire fiber, love it
Reply@12:10 so I guess The Habit is going to rename their “charburger” offering now
ReplyWhat I really wanna know is how many people tried to order it online?
ReplyNo one likes Doritos loaded, lady. Who do you think you are?
ReplyJohn and this show are what the world needs more of. Lift the veil
ReplyI laughed so hard at this segment and I needed that so badly after the day that I had. Thank you John Oliver.
ReplyI really missed these type of surprises on the show! This will become such a classic!
ReplyI blame Dr Oz for this! That’s it, that’s all!
ReplyI can only speak for myself, but thanks to this bit my Christmas gift list is ready and it’s only May.
ReplyThe fact that an englishman is exposing American media is the topping on the cake.
ReplyI’ve said this before, but I think JO or HBO is getting paid to product place. Even if he says something negative, it’s still publicity and everyone understands he’s joking.
So when I see such a very specific product placement as ” 1:50 Honeysuckle ground turkey”, I find it hard to believe that isn’t paid product placement. Just like that ladder and many other examples. I think I heard from JO himself that online doesn’t have to announce product placement.
ReplyHoly shit these stations got dunked on so hard
ReplyI think this is the first time in a year I laughed multiple times during a Last Week Tonight segment.
ReplyHahaha I fcking love it. You tell me abc utah
ReplyIs there an official way to contact the show? I have professional experience in creating these pernicious “news” reports, even around 9/11, when they were called “Video News Releases” – and there were no “sponsored content” subtitles of any kind – they were designed as “human interest stories,” with options for the local stations to have their own personalities doing the voiceovers and lay in their own station’s graphics. I’d love to tell John’s producers about the techniques that were used, even 20 years ago.
ReplyI just love how you stick it to the people who need sticking.
ReplyCongratulations John Oliver, for running distraction for your disgracefully failing socialists partners…
ReplyJOHN GOES THE EXTRA MILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Replydose this mean i can’t buy a sex blanket?
ReplyAh yes, my weekly dose of “The world’s totally fucked and there’s basically nothing you can do about it at this point”
Thanks again John!
Replylmfao
ReplyAs a Utah resident, I stopped watching local news shortly after moving to the state. I’d seen sponsored content in my previous state of residence, but it seems so much more prevalent here.
I use phone apps to get the weather and traffic, the only reason I ever turned on local news.
ReplyLiving in Europe bout 45 years. Never heard about “The Rocket”. Just sayin 😀
ReplyI screamed when I saw Kvue Austin
ReplyI am from Austin,TX. I cannot believe my local news station fell for this?
ReplyThe last thing I ever want to see at a party is Velveeta fountain. Yuk.
ReplyI don’t watch a ton of local news but I don’t think I’ve ever seen sponsored content in my life on Cleveland local news.
ReplyI never could have guessed how much this episode would have to do with my life. Utah and misinformation about autism, fancy fucking that.
ReplyLook at aaaaaaaall that bullshit in Salt Lake City and the surrounding area. This is the most attention John has ever paid to my state, and it’s for Sinclair loving the Huntsmans too much (I thought the HCI was a good fucking place with some integrity!) and compromised “medical correspondents” agreeing with everything said about giant dildos and Nazi Germany sex blankets.
That’s a side point, though. What I REALLY want to talk about is good old 13:15 Dr. “Autism Can Stem Cell Therapy Benefit.”
I just want to grill him. And any other doctor that says the same thing. HOW, sir? How does stem cell therapy BENEFIT autism? What CHANGES in the person? What becomes FIXED about them? Are we like the people with Crohn’s disease and heart disease? Will WE be feeling “almost normal after a week?” Tell me, what is this “normal?” What will be different about us? Are we ABNORMAL, Doctor? Do all autistic people not feel their best? Tell me EXACTLY how this is the case.
People dieing in palastine john : sponsored content is …….
ReplyJohn’s Catch phrase: “I legally have to tell you”
ReplyYou nailed it bro , Oliver, much love from Bangladesh
ReplyIt is remarkable how many people turn to the news for information. And it is equally remarkable how news manipulates information. What could possibly go wrong here?
ReplyAwesomeness
Reply17:00 “so glad you are intrigued” Subtle, yet hilarious.
ReplyNo one can bring on actors that can act like they aren’t acting like John Oliver.
ReplyDid your Israel/Palestine video get deleted?
ReplyGood show, but vulgar and swearer personalitys should not be role modell.Local Tv-s have responsibilty what ther showing, just we always forget capitalism is based on profit.

ReplyWhere can I buy this venus veil?

ReplySoooo we just not going to talk about the news scroll-by that was going on, at the bottom of the screen while the guy was fondling the girth of “The Rocket” while with hunger in his voice at 09:40?
ReplyOh my. America is impossible. I mean, you could be selling dirt as “amazing erection solver” and it wouldn’t be strange. panem et circenses
ReplyWhat I want to know is: has John managed to equip his sword in World of Warcraft yet?
ReplyIt does look like a very comfy blanket. I kinda want one. lol
ReplyI’m so happy this kind of capitalistic healtch care isn’t a thing here in EU
ReplyThis was your best episode I have seen yet. Brilliant!
ReplyThese fake medicine therapies piss me off, you are preying on desperate people who have non curable diseases and are suffering because of them- these “inventors” should go to jail.
ReplyThe moment I hear the words “Sponsored Content” and what is sponsored is the subject of the video, I turn it off. It’s always a fluff piece of something that ends up being total garbage.
ReplyIn India they promote non-stop without any disclaimers.
ReplyThe anxious glass normally bomb because roof sporadically phone an a faithful chance. sable, protective address
ReplyOMG did he troll most of America with fake product
Reply“People should be smart enough?”
Have you any experience of “people” in this country?
The Utah station “medical expert” didn’t even ask how to use it with the magic underwear.
ReplyThe amount of trolling by the segment is priceless!

ReplyI micro-died when I saw this
ReplyI wish I had a Nazi sexual health blanket. That’s a real conversation starter.
ReplyThe Rocket is an 880 dollar sex toy and nothing will convince me otherwise.
ReplyNazi Era Fuck Blanket is my new band name
Replyprops to that actress, she didn’t even break out giggling once.
ReplyJohn Oliver: How easy is it to get a sponsored segment on local news
ReplyScreen writer guy: Super easy, barely an inconvenience
selling snake oil, the age old scam
ReplyI played my horn on “Mile High Living.” Lol!!!! At least my horn playing was real and not a recording. OR WAS IT?!?!!? (It really was)
ReplyI want to know about the history of the Nazi fuck-blanket! Who invented it? How?
Reply18:30 To quote noted expert on 80 year old German technology expert Arte Johnson, “Vellllly Interesting! But STOOOPID!!!”
Reply$900 for a prostate massager, ok. Get to your local sex shop and get basically the same thing for around $100.
ReplyWow!!!! Putting stations on blast
Reply“that’s not how you do it” Thank you Jurj Clooners
ReplyAt these prices you can’t afford not to buy sponsored content slots to advertise obviously BS products that don’t exist.
ReplyBut where do I go to buy the sexual health blanket?
ReplyMe: Laughing at Utah TV station promoting Nazi love blanket.
ReplyOliver: there was no way another station was going to fall for this, right? Is there KVUE Austin?”
Me: FUCK!
I am so tired of sponsored content, aka fake news. Thank you John.
Reply“laser roasted genitalia” hahaha
ReplySo basically there is no integrity in local news stations just like everything else…
ReplyI always fondle my cake like a pair of floating balls lol
ReplyFinally a expensive episode .
ReplyThat actress was amazing. I mean, manage to keep a straight face while saying all that nonsens 🙂
ReplyOMG, she can deliver that BS with a straight face. I have often thought I could get rich if I could just say the BS and take people’s money.
ReplyThose stem cell sponsorships pissed me off, because I’ve had people tell me to get it to cure my incurable conditions. I have a team of specialists that can’t help me outside of symptom relief, so fuck anyone who sells these bs “cures” and fuck people who keep telling me to get it.
ReplyIs nobody going to point out how only left leaning stations aired this segment?
ReplyDo I seriously just only view local news stations that’s don’t do any of this bullshit? I live in a lowe population area (Upstate SC) and the local news station doesn’t do anything like what is being described.
The station my wife and watch is owned by Hearst, which I rarely hear get brought up, so I’m interested to know what the bad things they do are.
Reply“Thanks for making it so easy!” Nice. XD

ReplyLmao! I saw in a thread a couple of days ago some guy saying they should come up with a venus blanket for men and I just assumed that it was something like those snuggle blankets they had a few years back and couldn’t understand why a blanket would be just for women so it seems to be out there already !!! Skitting kittens !
ReplyMildly disappointed Clooney didn’t come out with his eyes “censored” like in Spy Kids.
ReplyMagneto-genetics… ROFL

ReplyHey John, quick question, does the Venus Viel Nazi Fuck Blanket work for men as well? A friend of mine wanted to know. Certainly isn’t me asking hahaha. No. But I’d really like an answer soon please. I could just reply with my credit card number if that helps? Maybe, I should just buy it for my friend just in case you know? Early birthday gift. Ya, so let me know. OK? Byee
ReplyCapitalism hit critical mass a while ago. What we’re watching now is the explosion. I don’t want to try to imagine the fallout that comes afterward.

ReplyHow harmful and impersonal hurtful about my hone land in Germany.

ReplyOliver is the best! please do a segment on Ghana.
ReplyPart of me wants to do this for my business. The rest of me is horrified.
ReplyThis is gold
ReplyThis is insane! LWT goes HARDD in the paint this time.
ReplyLooks like this is my responsibility…
ahem….
She made it “Super Easy, barely an Inconvenience”
don’t worry internet, youse are safe for another day.
Replyit took until around 9:11 for John to say the word *showcase* so now I can name drop LINUX TECH TIPS as a channel, that isn’t even American, that does sponsored content right. You know when a video is a sponsor or a showcase (hint: everything in short circuit is a showcase) or whatever. And if you don’t want to watch sponsored crap, you can just look at the title of the video. That way (theoretically) you can skip the video and Linux can decrease his low engagement numbers.
But you can’t title a tv segment in a morning show or news broadcast. FCC should impose that for TV broadcasts (or videos in general) that you have in text, in legible font, that it is a sponsored segment.
ReplyThe George Clooney segments are hilarious! 🙂
ReplyHey @JohnOliver – Normally I love your show, but sorry to say, you got the part about MonaLisa Touch a bit wrong. The device is FDA Approved for the “coagulation of body soft tissues in medical specialties, including aesthetic (dermatology and plastic surgery), podiatry, otolaryngology (ENT), genecology…” etc., so doctors can use it for vaginal purposes, and there is a lot of published peer-reviewed medical literature to support this use. I know, because I used to work for the company who sold the device. And your statements regarding using it as a dildo to burn your vagina are utterly horrible, especially considering you are a man and do not understand how painful vaginal atrophy is (for some women, they can’t wear pants because the pain is too incredible). MonaLisa Touch has changed a lot of women’s lives for the better by helping to regenerate . I would recommend in the future to actually learn about the technology behind the device, the disease states, the device’s method of action, read the clinical literature, talk with patients who have had the procedure, and so forth. Your staff clearly did not do their due diligence and just thought it was funny to make fun of women’s health problems, which is totally inappropriate and utterly shameful.
ReplyFucking Sue Fucking Simmons… legend
ReplyAnd really, is any news channel any better? I trust your news more than I do Fox or MSNBC.
ReplyAfter you watch John Oliver one may often think, “Why the f*** hasn’t this world fallen apart yet”
ReplyI think they did something like this a few years ago – the Native Advertising segment
ReplyThe sad thing is that it’s not that unlikely that next month these stations would be having “interviews” with representatives of Succubi Technologies, on their new line of underwear, Eros Healing, made from fibers that subtly diamagnetically “massage” the nerve tissue (demo with diagmagnetic levitation of tiny frog) stimulating the body to reinforce its melanin sheath, increasing sensitivity, body flow, and stamina.
ReplyI lost trust on Oliver after his vaccine video. Also why is he not talking about lab leak. There are substantial evidance to support that. It’s not conspiracy theory anymore
Replythat twist at the end!?

ReplyWhy isn’t George Clooney giving a testimonial on the Venus Veil?

Reply20:08 barely an inconvenience
ReplyPoland also has sponsored content. They also make outlandish claims about a pile of horseshit – except it’s our government that’s both the sponsor AND the horseshit in question.
ReplyDear Americans, This show cements many foreigners view on your country. And it is not a positive view – to put it mildly. Why, American society would be an ideal for anything in other countries is simply a bit disturbing.
ReplyI worked for a TV station that had an entire hour long midday show that was sponsored. They’d have businesses come in and have a sigment where viewers could call and talk to an ‘expert’. The segments with Mr. Hefner the financial guy are SPOT ON. It’s just a 2 week rotation of the same sponsors, with one or two days as fill ins for special guests or local events
ReplyI can’t stop laughing!

ReplyForgot one last selling point- “…And for those of you who are into Golden Showers the Venus Veil Blanket can sop up urine 10x faster than Bounty paper towels.” I think that actress could’ve pulled it off!
ReplyOf course it was a Utahan local news station that went along with promoting unverified junk medical “science”.
ReplyPretty sure that’s just a male oriented vibrator.
Reply1% of the poor countries have got the vaccine,while we have hit 50%. Damn this planet sucks big time!
Replyi love this show
ReplyTHE ACTOR DID SO WEL???
ReplyLmao! Well done John!
ReplyIt would be funny if the actress was told she was allowed to give up the game if she was questioned but just never was
ReplyWhere is the Israel/Palestine episode???? Why was it taken it down?
Reply“A Nazi-era fuck blanket” otherwise know to me as the Mengele Metallic Mantel.
ReplyThe actress killed me how casual she is
ReplyI had no idea this was a problem for local news networks. I thought there were processes in place to prevent this from happening. That ABC4 scene made my jaw drop
ReplyIt’s confirmed: George Clooney HAS had sexual relations with a ham. Typical Hollywood weirdo.

ReplyDid… Did she really just say it was pioneered in Germany 80 years ago? Like, in WWI? And they let that go without comment?

Reply“typical everyday laser roasted genitalia” LMAOO so many good lines in this one.
ReplyLife in the idiocracy.
Replywho else googled magnetogenetics? turns out is is a real thing.
ReplyThat shit eating grin from pitching The Venus Viel
ReplyI feel like John is talking specifically to Liberals since Conservatives dont believe anything on tv anymore. Fake News is real gang and has been for a very long time. Do your own research.
ReplyNow this is a return to form, but Jon I still have more questions about black people’s hair. Can we get a part 2 PLEASE??
ReplyAnd these stations wonder why trust in them is at an all time low. Not saying this is the sole reason, but I’m sure it’s a contributing factor. Old people buy this garbage and when they realize they’ve been conned they stop believing ALL of the news to cope.
ReplyI can’t sleep, and watching John talking help me to fall asleep
ReplyBro John, thanks once again for exposing capitalism at its sneakiest premises, LOL. My man Oliver is the best!
ReplyLol. One of the best gags or pranks pulled by John Oliver.. I wonder what’s going to happen to those newscasters..
ReplyObviously someone did not see Magneto yank the iron out of that prison guards body to get enough metal to destroy his plastic prison! Come on John keep up with science!
ReplyOkay but whoever rebranded the rocket as the Phoenix so that men will rise up from the ashes of erectile dysfunction is a genius.
ReplyPretty sure this show was selling 100% Sketch gene therapy the week before this – GROSS!!! Evidently for way more than $2k. I’d rather have a sunburnt vagina than curse a comedian/HBO for convincing me to jab, no joke.
ReplyWhere can I get that amazing sex blanket?
ReplyThe reminiscent prose bodily flap because candle roughly use times a calculating windchime. halting, clever step-uncle
ReplySo distressing but not surprising, as I was once employed as a former reporter and anchor at one of the station groups listed in John’s report. Local television news is frankly embarrassing and doesn’t even try to get beyond press releases and paid content due to time, budget and expertise constraints.
ReplyBrilliant work sir
ReplyOh dear…
ReplyThe light cloud contrarily trick because oven dentsply carve barring a successful capital. nifty, sore william
ReplyHypocrites and liars should NOT be preaching to the public! Most corporate media gives blanket credibility to him because of his royal titles, without critically assessing and sharing contradictory facts that oppose MM and P. HARRY’s statements.
For instance, Prince Charles played many sports with both his sons. Though in particular, I’m curious about the number of times P. Harry played polo with his father. P. HARRY and Prince Charles were on the same polo team, after all.
If P. Harry would have preferred more concentrated bicycle time with Prince Charles, in place of all the time they spent together playing the white privelege sport of Polo, then why did P. Harry pick to have his U.S. home so CLOSE to the third oldest U.S. polo facility, the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club? Anyone know the Mountbatten-Windsor’s membership status there? Does P. Harry realize how contradictory it’d be to play polo there, or will he try to hide his white privelege and hypocrisy, by making it charity play for Black Lives Matter?
P. HARRY’s narrative:
2021 – I moved to Montecito (Santa Barbara), for bike riding with Archie, because my dad didn’t do that with me. (FYI: Pictures recount a different history.)
Future – I moved to Montecito, for Archie to learn polo, so I can play polo with him, like my dad DID with me.

ReplyHuh… I’m tempted to get that blanked as a sort of Last Week Tonight souvenir.
ReplyIm still sad about your Israel/Palestine rant. There is so much literature on that issue – why didnt this show actually have a look at so many imporant things that were not mentioned at all? It is really damn mindboggling. Why did you just repeat what Hamas and the British and American left communicate all the time? This is really not critical at all. Especially the historical dimension was missing. Frustrating.

ReplyIt’ll be really difficult to use entirely baseless claims to sell products on these high quality local programs.
Not at all. It’s gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Given that ‘sponsored content’ is so successful, we should be asking: Why is it so successful and what can we do to protect the victims?

ReplyStar Trek captain: What’s going on?!
The actress: A special blend of magnetic fibers has affected the warp engines.
I know Star Trek is sometimes better in regards to using theoretical physics and advancements in technology, but come on. The stuff a lot of these paid guests spew sound like sci-fi technobabel from the eighties. This is stuff I’d expect from a parody of a Silver Age comic book for some sort of device that helps off-brand Joker pull a robbery or off-brand Batman uses to catch him.
ReplyEveryone should watch John Oliver, to be less ignorant, to be a little bit smarter !

ReplyI wanted to know, how many of the contacted stations declined?
Where those 3 stations a minority or not?
So you tubers and streamers have more regulations than regular tv?
ReplyThe difference between the Left-leaning TV shows and channels is that the Left goes and finds evidence for the claims that shock you and keep you glued to the screen while Right-wing TV and news will shock you and keep you glued to the screen with unsubstantiated claims about lies told by questionable (to say the least) politicians and celebrities and THOUSANDS of sponsors that try to sell you products you don’t need to take away the money you don’t have.
ReplyWhy does TV get away with blatantly lying to people without warning about their lies? I guess we’re so used to being lied to that we saw right through Trump’s lies and decided not to vote for a pathological liar.
Marketing shouldn’t be called marketing, it should be called lying on a professional level.

ReplyI want to know how many hits the Vagina Veil (or whatever) website got after each segment!
Reply13:50 you know who could help the station proofread their graphics, ironically? Most autistic people.
Seriously, unless you’re one of those MMS bleach freaks who thinks that gut bacteria cause autism and a Miracle Mineral Solution (watered-down bleach) enema or similar “hardware”-targeted stuff can treat it, why would stem cells be helpful in any type of autism therapy? There’s no one specific area of the brain that autism affects or that’s damaged in autistic people. Theoretically, at some point stem cells could potentially be used to treat damage in the body, such as organ damage or nerve damage. But again, autism isn’t that simple or isolated/identifiable in the brain or body, so I don’t see why stem cell therapy would help it.
ReplyThis was my favorite segment ever
ReplyOMG – I love John Oliver! BTW he is now a citizen of this country, and is a national treasure! Thank You, Mr. Oliver, for showing us just how scammy this country has become!

Reply13:45 We don’t even know what causes autism, and we sure as hell don’t have a magical cure. The only way to really make it unnoticeable is catching it early on and running the child through a course of therapy, not inject them with stem cells, which just take a load of mitosis by transforming into the required cells.
ReplyWHOS THE FEMALE HOST ??
ReplyTalking about Germany:

ReplyAll I’m hearing is that, any one of us can purchase a spot on local news for $2k and promote whatever causes we want to. So like, we should do that en masse. I think just reading excerpts of John Oliver segments might be a good start.

ReplyNice George Clooney cameos!
Replyhumanity is in trouble, because they are too many people that are asleep, too many people that are in state of fear.
most of the people do not understand that they are controlled because they are in state of induced fear.
ignorance creates FEAR
Refusal of truth creates FEAR
fear comes from LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
KNOWLEDGE is very liberating and it will lead you to TRUTH
when you accept the truth then the fear has no control over you
And, when you are in high level of knowledge and awareness you FEAR NOTHING!
That is your antidote to fear!
coronavirus “pandemic” is not scary,
what is really scary is how easily manipulated and brainwashed the masses of people can become.
corona plandemic proved that this is the case.
all it took is constant bombardment of fear driven dis-information and billions succumbed to the fear.
they bought it, hook, line and sinker and now they are behaving worse than sheep, they are policing each other.
it is also scary that very small percentage of awakened people are trying to awaken the sleeping zombified masses.
There are many of awakened people that are able to spreed the information but they rather be cowards, they are not willing to hurt the feelings of masses that are asleep.
you awakened people, you need to start educating those ignorant and fearful masses as they are dragging all of us down,
just like fearful masses have led down Germany under Hitler, Russia under communists and this happened with many other nations as well.
Once a nation becomes *fearful majority* – the tyrants can enslave the country overnight and then it is to late for any peaceful resistance.
So, why did those nasty things happened to those nations that became ruled by tyrants?
ReplyIt is simple, good people that were aware what was happening have done nothing (or very little) to awaken the masses.
So, soon afterwards those fearful masses of people dragged their nations into a total chaos and bloodshed that destroyed millions of lives.
Rest assured, if we do not help awaken the masses today – our own future and the future of all humanity is not going to be very promising. It will be lot worse than all of the tyrants combined as it is going to be world-wide.
Can we look in our children’s and grandchildren’s eyes and be fine with the draconian future we are building for them?
Props to the actress who did all of these interviews for the fake product. That’s some Borat-type material right there.

THEY ARE THE ONES BEGGING YOU TO CALL IN THE CABLE COMPANIES……..thankfully enough in my market, there is a locally owned station, WRAL. They tend not to plug in sponsored content, instead focusing on news (It sounds too good to be true due to broadcasters’ greed nowadays but I’m being honest…….surprisingly). They have a good relationship with every company……but Dish. They don’t have enough social power to get Dish to carry back WRAL, but Nexstar does due to theme owning plenty of stations, therefore getting calls from across the country.

This is also why people don’t trust doctors, nurses, and the medical field all around (although they will, ironically, believe the shlock on FB). This, this very thing, is how Trump even got in. Widespread ignorance gleefully exploited by smiling, aesthetically acceptable faces who use ‘big words’ and made outlandish promises all without a drop of scrutiny . . . in other words, CONSTANT MARKETING!!!

Reply@LastWeekTonight, it would be great if you did a story on why so many Americans seem to struggle with deciphering truth vs fiction, and how this might related to decades of companies’ “creative marketing and advertising” (aka blatant and subtle claims about products and services). How is that so many people were confused about the facts of the 2016 election when Russia and others put up fake information on social media ads? How is it that half the country thinks the 2020 election was stolen? Why isn’t anyone making the connection between advertising/marketing which often is flat out lying in creative ways, with election campaigns and campaign ads that employ the same tactics — that confuse the issues and leaving many people struggling to make sense?

ReplyGet a grip, John. That’s not good enough for a show that is supposed to educate general public.
Noticed this about a year ago when I went to visit my mom and watched cable news for the first time in years. Glad it’s being brought up, I thought it had become normalized and I was weird for thinking it’s wrong. Of course seeing it in 2020 was just one of many surreal moments in the collage of dystopian memories.

ReplyPreach John!
ReplyIf John Oliver ever stops doing this show, he should do an incredibly high-brow version of Punk’d
ReplyBe honest John. You could also summon Andy Zaltzman, British Comedian and professional Cricket Commentator. It’s just no one in America knows who he is.
ReplyHow much was Clooney paid though? Or did he pay you? I need full disclosure

ReplyAlways be warry of bs!
ReplyOne of the best Americans this country hope to have. Thank you
ReplyGodamnit John. The trolling of media on this is fucking awesome.
Reply“Germany, about 80 years ago” why would you have questions about it John? Half the country is using it as the literal template for behaviour!

ReplyHave you ever noticed how bad the lighting in his show is? The left half of his face is always dark and there are too many relections in his glasses
ReplyDoes the blanket actually work?
ReplyDo you think they hired a white actress because the stations wouldve vetted a black actress better?
Replyhere John Oliver gaslights you in the bs form of a comedy show. you didn’t click on this video, it was chosen for you. Youtube suppresses General STrike!
ReplyPolice have said the incident was found to arrive on a Friday
ReplyJohn and his team deserve all the tv awards + nobel prize
ReplyNot gonna lie, that blanket kickstarted my sexual desires, or maybe it was the paid hottie presenting it, either way, your blanket works John! It really works!!!
ReplyWhatever that George Clooney guy had to pay to be sponsored content on the show, worth it.
ReplyWow

ReplyI wish I had seen this video before now! What the fuck was I doing?
ReplyI do not recall the last time I watched a local news cast and I have not missed it at all.
ReplyHahaha holy shit. “Sexual health blanket” that has technology that was pioneered in Germany 80 years ago”. Bravo. Always thought these wannabe infomercials were skeevy bullshit.
ReplyThis is one thing I actually really appreciate about YouTube and creators on the platform. When they have sponsored content cause it’s always made VERY clear when something is sponsored.
ReplyFCC needs to make the use of the word “NEWS” controlled… To be truthful, and factual only. Any opinion show should be labelled as such.
That would, weirdly enough, solve a lot of problem….
ReplyAhh yes the evils of capitalism
ReplyAccountability would be nice
Church state wall? So non-existent?
ReplyThe blanket still looks pretty comfy and soft. Not the point, but still.
ReplyRemember. “Clinically tested” only means it was tested by the company that owns the product (which is still good, but) doesn’t mean it was tested by any sort of medical or scientific experts.
ReplyYou’d think people are smart enough to distinced ad from show….. really, coming from the land that brought us donald trump? Really giving props to people the johnny boy

Reply‘Murica….
Can’t show nudity on American tv, but a prostate massager, fuck blanket, boner pills, and vagina laser are all just fine topics of discussion… sorry, advertisement…, apparently. People look at countries like India and Nigeria as nations of scammers, but the US is *rapidly* catching up as a nation of medical grifters. The US health care system is so fundamentally fucked that snake-oil salesmen can advertise their cheap miracle cures for next to nothing. Sure, they might get shut down by the FDA eventually, but the damage was done. Even things like literally selling toxic bleach for people to drink takes a depressingly long time to be shut down. One guy and his family sold more than a MILLION dollars in toxic chemicals to gullible idiots, even starting their own pseudo-church to trick Christians, even after being ordered not to do so before finally being arrested.
It’s insane how the American ideals of “freedom” don’t mean anything more than “the freedom to get scammed by someone better at lying than you”.
ReplyThe actress they hired is next level. I can’t imagine having to do that job convincingly and she absolutely nailed it. I wish there was an Oscar for selling Nazi era fuck blankets.
ReplyI cant even watch this episode on HBO Max for some reason, is some rich asshole trying to silence the smartest British man I know…of
ReplyCan we nominate that actress for an oscar? Going on a LIVE show and saying all that stuff without cracking up laughing… that’s true acting talent!
“It was inspired by the field of magneto-genetics. Basicaly, your blood is full of iron but its dispersed in such a way that it isn’t affected by normal magnets. So, the idea behind the veil is with the right blend of propriatery magnetic fabrics you can create a self-contained magnetic field that restimulates bloodflow and gets you to feel like your normal self again.”
Beautiful. Spectacular. You know what, can we also nominate the writer of these statements for an award? The creativity on display is just worthy of industry recognition!

Reply“Naturopathic doctor” == “snake oil salesman”. I don’t know how this kind of shit is even legal.
It’s also infuriating that Youtube creators have a higher legal bar for sponsored content than THE FUCKING NEWS. The bar needs to be much, much higher for TV and movie sponsorships in general but should potentially be completely banned in News broadcasts.
ReplyHaaaaaam, gurl!
ReplyI’m surprised Americans watch as much TV as they do. Given the proliferation of digital content platforms, why even bother?
ReplyMan from England says dont trust any infomedia that gives you hope. England man is unfortunately correct.
