Scandals: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

[Simeon Salus]

Pretty much says it all.

John gives Hillary eleven minutes of coverage to the few non-scandal scandals, plus a glancing mention of her husband's twenty year-old personal non-scandal scandals.

Trump ("America's wealthiest hemorrhoid&quot has so many actual scandals it's difficult to cover them all in the remaining ten minutes.

"He is ethically compromised to an almost unprecedented degree."

It would have been nice if he'd listed them all in the closing credits...

1. This made me a little angry, the extensive coverage of the non-scandal scandals.

I still don't get the outrage at emails and the Clinton Foundation, guess I'm too stupid to understand. I don't think Hillary Clinton's cookie has too many raisins in it. But then the end with the downpour of Trump raisins was good, why the seemingly false equivalency though. I have a small grudge against John tonight.

2. I didn't like that, either.

A 'false equivalency' is created when he spent as much time on the fake rightwing-generated scandals which are "irritating," he says, as he does on Trump's real and illegal activities which are just now being disclosed and investigated.

Oliver must have a Millennial viewer demographic - the ones most likely to despise both candidates.

"But Hillary's better!"

3. How can anyone not like raisins in cookies? But I hate scandals!

But I would agree with John Oliver that Hillary's scandals pale in comparison to Donald Trump's. His strategy with scandals is basically the same as his strategy about lying: Inundate them with so many that the media doesn't know where to start.
