If I recall correctly this didn’t work out well for Bob, when he did it. I hope for a similar result here.

Oh. The guy who testified it was ok to leave people with shit on them for a couple of days is mad now?

khazad-dum.bsky.social•22 days ago

Man, the First Amendment is a fucking punching bag these days!

wormsusa.bsky.social•23 days ago

Watching 'Last Week Tonight', you get the sense that they have a massive team of lawyers that green light every little thing they do.

shyduck.bsky.social•23 days ago

They do, he said in an interview that everything goes through a legal team first

Wow!

Go ahead! Stick your dick in that beehive!

The claim seems to be: “I didn’t say [X]! I said something essentially indistinguishable and just as bad as [X]!”

antiquecarguy.bsky.social•23 days ago

I’m old enough to remember when the coal guy tried that.

anniedemoranville.bsky.social•23 days ago

I suspect Morley and crew are not going to look too good in discovery. 🍿

Do they think John Oliver is some cable access show without a pack of lawyers ready to DEFEND against this? Or that he hasn’t been sued by rich crybabies before?

cancel culture

Bring it. Discovery will reveal embezzlement I’m sure.

MCO segment starts at 17:40, and the specific statements at the heart of the suit are at about 21:14.

Can’t wait for part 2 of the SLAPP suit musical.

Maybe the show should have someone (Patrick Stewart, Jeff Bridges, Mr. Hankey?) read the entire transcript on the next episode if Morley really wants the entire context revealed.🤔

thedimpsler.bsky.social•23 days ago

Maybe it’s a bad idea to sue a guy with like 1100000 fact checkers and video and audio tape of you saying the things you say you didn’t.

I was about to say, "It's kind of ballsy to claim defamation over something that you were recorded saying."

jaceofspades.bsky.social•22 days ago

It would be, but that requires dude knows what defamation is and how one goes about proving it. Which, I'm skeptical 😂

gr8philly.bsky.social•23 days ago

Just an example of a second swipe at Luigi territory. Our politicians don’t see to smell the coffee, or toast.

john oliver legal team gets to flex again

noamlaw.bsky.social•23 days ago

the beautiful thing about defamation suits is that they almost always backfire, especially when it's a powerful party trying to silence bad acts they are on record saying

Dr. Morely shouldn't be anywhere near the decision making table on matters concerning anything alive
