How Can HBO Support Radical Oliver? Host Dismisses Violence as Not ‘Dramatic’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Just how long can HBO stand by the radical HBO host John Oliver? He’s been spewing hate for years, but on Sunday Oliver dismissed and downplayed left-wing rioting and violence in Portland at not “dramatic.” After playing a clip of several Fox anchors, including Sean Hannity, Oliver sneered, “That tone does not honestly reflect the conditions on the ground. That firebombing, for instance, seems to be a reference to either a firework or a small fire that was set, which is significantly less dramatic than he is trying to make it sound.”
