Making dull subjects understandable is what Stewart, Colbert and Oliver do for us
by digby
Are you confused by he net neutrality debate? Let John Oliver explain it to you:
He’s right. It is a dull subject which makes the average person’s eyes roll back in their heads or, more likely, change the channel or turn the page. And that’s where the comedians and the satirists come in.
Oliver’s show is coming right along, by the way. He gives a long form treatment to these stories that’s both informative and funny. Well worth watching — if you have HBO anyway.
