few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

Well-buttered rightwing propagandists are always screaming lies about “paid leftwing protesters” because 100% of all rightwing political activity is very obviously deeply funded by the hyper billionaires who own them - so they fabricate a symmetry that doesn’t exist

A great moment from Oliver:

“While I would love to keep splitting hairs on whether a country’s starving kids is better or worse if those kids are already sick, let’s just table that discussion for when I see you in hell.”

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.
