[See NewsBusters for more.] HBO’s John Oliver isn’t going to let this crisis go to waste. The far-left host has used his last two programs to insist that the response to the pandemic is “universal health care,” prison reform and an end to the “dirt-stupid reporting” of “right-wing” network OAN. The Last Week Tonight host poses as a comedian, but he really just hates conservatives. On Sunday, after talking about real examples of need and suffering by those on the frontline of the corona crisis, he demanded the complete overhaul of health care as a solution: “Control-z-ing us back to how we were in 2016 is simply not going to cut it. And honestly, it shouldn't have taken a pandemic to prove our unemployment system is a mess, that we need universal health care.”
