I love John Oliver.

Something about actually spending more than 2 minutes on a news story appeals to me.

Rachel Maddow does the same thing.

Yes she does. I didn't want to mention her because they don't understand the appeal of her program. By the way, I love the fact that she never lets a interviewee get away with not answering her questions. She usually covers an issue in depth. She has a viewpoint, but after watching a 20 minute segment you'll be familiar with the other argument.

This is one of his lowest points. I like some of his stuff, which can be pretty funny, but he often times oversimplifies things and leaves people dumber than they were before they watched his segment.

forgiving debt is a low point?

She's a far left progressive. Pardon me for not "understanding the appeal of her program."

Familiar with the other argument, but somehow always supports the far leftist viewpoint.

Maddow is red meat to the liberals. No problem with that per se, but let's not hold her as some shining beacon on a the hill of impartial journalism

Unlike others, I think Maddow actually researches her stuff. However, it is slanted in a way I do not agree with.

He is absolutely correct in the way the debt collecting world works. It is as sleazy as it gets. Good for him in doing what he did.
