This is your infotainment media at its best. The week of Venezuela's presidential election, John Oliver dedicated an ENTIRE episode of his HBO show "Last Week Tonight" to the country—full of distortions and highly misleading to progressive-minded people. Can we please ship his ass back to England! Luckily Michael Prysner of The Empire Files did an amazing response video eviscerating every aspect of this tired bs.

Which guy? Oliver or Prysner? Who would you believe? A guy on HBO spewing known propaganda, Oliver, or a guy who's actually been in Venezuela during last years protest and spoke with the people, Prysner . Some of the scenes in the video are from his time there with Abby Martin who also debunks the false propaganda our MSM is feeding us for our government.
<<<< You can find the other story. The protest, Maduro's popularity, the hunger, empty stores, the news is all government owned, currency issues, all lies. No, it's not perfect there. But the reason it's not perfect there is not what you're being told! What you can find there you can also find in other major developed countries, that don't have those countries interfering within.
@William_Mary well Oliver is just scripted. He actually is just made to sound smart. I'm certain they fact check the things Oliver is saying but in this case it's a matter of perspective. I think the other guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about but because I don't know the first thing about Venezuela I can't say who is more accurate.
Love him I never miss a broadcast
