John Oliver’s new HBO show Last Week Tonight satirizes those ridiculously patronizing GOP millennial ads, and lo, it is good.

GOP millennial ad
anybody who would actually have a hipster-ass haircut like the guy in the ad would be more likely to be a firebagger who thinks obama is a corporate shill than a budding dittohead

I actually think it’s hilarious that the GOP went from making fun of Pajama Boy to creating their own Pajama Boy, basically. And one that’s about 1000% more mock-worthy than the Obamacare Pajama Boy, at that.

I wonder if they think contraceptive discussions should get equal time in ostensibly abstinence-only sex-ed classes, for the sake of balance.

I would remind them that Ronald Reagan did away with the Fairness Doctrine on 1987. I’d tell them while wearing full raingear, though, because head explosions tend to be messy.

Also, didn’t the fairness doctrine only apply to politics, not whackjob religious beliefs pretending to be pseudo-science?

Liz Wahl’s obviously trying to parlay her notoriety from quitting Russia Today into a job with a US media organization. She comes right out and says it, in fact.
More than anything, I feel like a weight has been lifted since I resigned. The outpouring of support has reaffirmed my belief in seeking and spreading the truth. As for my “self-promotional publicity stunt,” if telling truth leads to better opportunities, some of my faith in humanity will be restored.
Somebody please, give Liz Wahl a job so her faith in humanity can be restored.
I don’t mean to be too sarcastic; she’s blowing the whistle on RT and that’s a good thing. But come on, now.

Yes, it did. Bottom line, if Fox Broadcasting wants to air a show featuring science that Creationists don’t like, then that’s just too bad for the creationists.

Even if you live under a rock, you ought to expect that [NATION Today], broadcasting in a foreign tongue, is going to be, y’know, maybe not quite so unbiased.
Basic common sense would tell an up-and-coming Russian journalist to be a little leery of a Moscow-bureau USA TODAYSKI. You don’t even have to know a single damned specific about the outlet in question. You ought to be skeptical.
We do still teach journalists to be skeptical, right? Anybody? Bueller?
