6. Not that one...

Did you watch him last night? The first segment was about the folksy presser PO gave the other day, letting John Brennan off the hook. What he said was priceless and right ON. Thanks, DeSwiss.

5. Thank goodness WE have almost ALL of the geniuses...

...on OUR side. I only hope people are listening!

7. It seems that for years most "news" shows have been corporate ads anyway. nt

8. He has hit a home run on every episode!

9. I hadn't previously heard of "Native Advertising"

But learning of it is, very depressingly, not shocking. At all.

10. Every single 'Last Week Tonight' YouTube clip has been visible in the UK, except this one

I get 'the uploader has not made this video available in your country' for it. The other 2 from the same night (Port Authority of New York, and We Got Those Geckos) are viewable, as are all other weeks. Did it hit too close to home for some agreement between YouTube and HBO?
