Last Week Tonight Last Night
If you missed Last Week Tonight with John Oliver last night, the Main Story was about sponsored content. This might not sound like much, but it refers to what are basically paid aids during news broadcasts that masquerade as real news reports or interviews. The story is very interesting and fun -- albeit galling, especially when pointing out the dangers of this being abused. But stick around for the end, because the show does something it hasn't done this substantively in a long time. I started to explain more, but realized that much of the fun is discovering it when it comes along. It's wonderful -- and very funny.
