Tucker Carlson has risen to the top of the Fox News food chain by stoking outrage at every opportunity, whilst lawyers defending him argue he is “not stating actual facts”.
Whilst police raids are the staple of shows like ‘Cops’, there is much work that needs to be done, both in terms of training and legislation, to prevent the sort of tragedies currently seen all too often.
We’re still knee-deep in the mess that is COVID-19, but John Oliver has a warning for all those who think this is as bad as pandemics can get.
Last week, John focused on the US election. He would have hoped things had drawn to a close by now, more than a week after Joe Biden was declared president-elect, but here we are.
The past week has been a rollercoaster ride, with enough action and intrigue packed in to last us through until the end of the year. Here’s John Oliver’s superb recap.
No matter who comes out tops in the US presidential election, Trump will still call the shots until January 20. That should worry every American.

On November 3, America will vote for its next president, but the country needs to prepare for what could be weeks and months of legal battles.
As soon as the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was announced, you just knew the final few weeks leading up the US election were going to become even nastier.
When John Oliver laid into the town of Danbury, Connecticut, he set in motion a chain of events that has taken some unlikely twists and turns.
In the US, different states are free to teach their own version of American history. Unsurprisingly, there are some wild inconsistencies.
South Africa is grappling with the issue of the spread of the coronavirus in our prison system, although that’s not a problem unique to this country.
Facial recognition technology is advancing at a rate of knots, but there are many concerns around how it is used, especially by law enforcement and governments.
The second Twitter fact-checked a Trump tweet about voting by mail, you knew a meltdown was imminent.
In his latest ‘Last Week Tonight’ segment, John Oliver once again looked at the coronavirus, but with a particular focus on sport.
The fact that Fox News and its most famous names downplayed the threat of the coronavirus is indisputable. The network’s number one fan has, as always, been watching.
In Sunday’s show, John Oliver looks at America’s mass surge in unemployment, and how many essential workers are being hung out to dry.
Fox News sets the bar pretty low, but now there’s a new player in town and they’re really scraping the barrel.

During a segment looking into conditions at warehouses at the likes of Amazon, John Oliver didn’t hold back. Now the company has fired back.
Every year, around 2,8 million Americans die, and in half a million or so of those cases, the cause of death is suspicious. What happens next is a bit messy.
Sometimes John Oliver tackles the big issues, like the Mueller Report, and other times he focuses on the rather strange world of Japanese mascots.
