Last Week Tonight with John Oliver takes on food labeling and the lies they tell consumers

[telemann.livejournal.com]

Former Daily Show correspondent John Oliver launched his new show "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" on HBO last night. In this segment, he covers a recent Supreme Court case involving one of the plaintiffs citing the 1st amendment as protection for their false advertising, and other insane claims made for products. Other segments featured the United States media outlets largely ignoring one of the largest elections the world has seen thus far (in India); and an interview with former NSA director Keith Alexander. The entire program is viewable on Youtube.

It's not like taps come with labels on them from town to town. Yes, though, government is different. You can't opt out, you often can't compete.
