As a former teenager who worked for Subway... seems like it's fallen quite a bit from the early 90s.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoSorry that you got dinged. John Oliver is rather unpopular with a lot of the HN crowd, so I tend not to link to his videos.

- collingreen 2y ago> If you disagree with him, you’re probably either a corrupt hypocrite, or on a corrupt hypocrite's payroll. I agree with a lot of what you said but not this; this kind of thinking is a problem. I love John Oliver and think lots of his content is funny and good. I also, however, notice that his coverage tends to gloss over some things or outright get things wrong when I look into it more. While not ideal this seems reasonable to me - most ACTUAL REPORTING does an abysmal job in this way and LWT is a COMEDY show. I have no problem with John Oliver nor the show but I think a "nobody can disagree on this in good faith" stance is a bad take and one that John Oliver himself would probably be against.
- dbg31415 2y agoI think it's really hard to disagree with people who make you laugh. No dis on "ACTUAL REPORTING" but "COMEDY" is far preferable, and generally a lot more honest in how it helps you understand what you're learning about.
