RE: My Response To John Oliver's Attack On EOS & His Hypocrisy. Plus A Comment on Misrepresentation of Reality By TV Shows.
The problem with labelling such information programming as 'entertainment' as if it has no meaning in the context of real life, is that it DOES have context and meaning in real life. Many people have seen John's show focus on other topics in ways that do raise very valid points and for them he represents a voice of 'authority' on 'truth seeking' which he himself might play down, but which in truth he does play into by the fact that his shows continue to be aligned towards the theme of 'revealing truth' and 'educating' in an entertaining way.
John doesn't come on screen in a clown outfit for a reason - because he is not a pure entertainer of that kind.
It is easy to crack the same joke about iguanas AND point a finger of fun at Brock Pierce while ALSO giving an accurate description of EOS, which he absolutely did not even attempt to do. The irony is that in his alleged 'protecting' of people's investments by his 'good advice' - he could have actually reduced some of the value of investments made in EOS - which is not exactly an act of protection.
I'll just say that I won't be buying into the inevitable OliverCoin ICO ;)
