"John Oliver discusses how Donald Trump is attempting to reshape coverage of him in the press, how he's using his power to threaten media outlets he doesn't agree with, why this signals a slide toward authoritarianism for the U.S., and whether or not you guys can also see this twink we're pretty sure is a ghost. Seriously. We are so scared."[1]
All anyone needs to know about Trump and the press is this: If Trump likes a given news source, then that news source is probably utter dogshit and should be ignored entirely. If Trump hates a given news source, then that is probably one of the news sources to which you actually should be paying attention.
It really is that simple.
Anyway, in conclusion, to hell forever with Donald Trump, as usual.
[1] - I really don't understand how they decide which "joke" to feature in the video description. John Oliver went on for like a full minute and a half about Doctor Odyssey (a show I'd never heard of prior to this video), with more mentions of it later in the video. The "twink ghost" thing was merely a short 15-20 second one-and-done "joke" roughly a third into it. That also has been the case for most of the previous LWT video descriptions, i.e. they pick some one-off "joke" to feature, when there were other "jokes" that were much longer and (arguably) "funnier." This may sound weird, but I really don't watch these Last Week Tonight clips (or episodes of Some More News, for that matter) for the almost entirely unfunny, tryhard "comedy" bits.
