Last Week Tonight with John Oliver·Published on Jun 1, 2014

Cable companies are trying to create an unequal playing field for internet speeds, but they're doing it so boringly that most news outlets aren't covering it.
John Oliver explains the controversy and lets viewers know how they can voice their displeasure to the FCC.

- And some people call us fake liberals. I KNOW who's the fake.

Thanks, Obama.

4. Great. I get tired of the wonderful descriptions of the tragedies all around us, while little gets

done about ameliorating them, action which is largely replaced by complaints and slimy little spins of the facts to support someone's agenda.

It's kind of refreshing but ironic that a comedian performs like a populist politician that might actually change something, while elected officials manufacture excuses and hand out scraps in obedience to their Masters.

Dingo in charge of the F.C.C., indeed.

It's gonna take a lot more than voting to make a difference in this system. That's may well have become a waste of time.
