[See NewsBusters for more.] Far-left HBO host John Oliver on Sunday used his show to go on a profanity-laced rant about the coronavirus, the President and the “market worship” attempts to save the economy that risks becoming a “fucking death cult.” What was most galling, however, was the Last Week Tonight host's efforts to pretend that there is nothing political going on in how some on the left are covering the virus crisis. After playing a clip of Donald Trump saying that some want to use COVID-19 to defeat him in November, Oliver screamed, “Oh, for fuck's sake! No one is thinking about you! These guidelines do not revolve around you!” He then disingenuously added, “And look, I know this isn't exactly the first time I've criticized Donald Trump, but I can't tell you how much I was rooting for him to do this better.”
