EP23 (S1) - Listen Up John Oliver

Amy and Dor passionately dissect John Oliver's portrayal of the Israel-Hamas War in Last Week Tonight (S10, E17). Amid a thunderstorm, they critique Oliver's biased segment, challenging omissions and inaccuracies, urging for a more nuanced understanding. Continuing from Episode 22’s discussion of the photojournalists who rode along with Hamas terrorists on October 7, Amy contends that cameras not only document behavior, but shape it. Amy brings up the "no limits" footage in the Woodstock '99 pay-per-view special, and the paparazzi's role in Princess Diana's fatal Paris crash. Concluding with a defiant message, Amy and Dor encourage John Oliver to reconsider his stance, emphasizing the need for acknowledgment of the intricate realities on the ground.

Recorded on November 14 (Day 39).
