Top notch as always, but it's a little sad that we tend get a more balanced perspective on the current news from comedy shows these days than we do from the news!

Ah, nutritional supplements. "Regulated" in the sense that they each have labels telling you what's in them — oh, except for the fact that those labels are completely false one-third of the time.
Ah, John Oliver. Teaching us how to pander to an audience without recommending harmful medical supplements. And with the help of George R. R. Martin and Steve Buscemi, tap-dancing.
Really, this is a kind of awesome show.

Traveling snake oil salesman.
Isnt that the truth…………propaganda reporting needs checked………and balanced.
Jon stewart is a regular starmaker nowadays. And people who think any of these shows are just comedy are woefully mistaken. Jon is now the most trusted newsman in america… for real. <3 Oliver he fits right in, his new show is great

The only part of this statement that I disagree with is "traveling."
That was more in depth than an NPR report!
+Robt. J. Moore II See more of his clips… concise and surprisingly in-depth:

+Michael Monnat I was shocked at the depth of the coverage on FIFA and World Cup soccer:
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: FIFA and the World Cup (HBO)
Don't forget stand up
+Jeff Sullivan Soccer? FOOTBALL!!!!
+Maja Jaganjac Of course!
Actually, that wasn't balanced at all. Watch the CSPAN video. That is far more informative than a comedy sketch. :/
This is great! Thanks for posting this!

+Along the Trail Photography Isn't that kind of sad, when "news shows" are comedy, and comedians do the best news?
