Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
A huge T.V. event on Easter Sunday came and went without any fanfare whatsoever.
John Oliver, HBO’s comedy newscaster, aired a lengthy interview with none other than N.S.A. whistleblower Edward Snowden. The interview starts in the video above around the 13:45 mark.
CNN:
“The comedian surprised viewers on Sunday night by revealing that he visited Russia last week and met with Snowden, who leaked a trove of documents about the American government’s mass surveillance programs to journalists in 2013.”
what a bummer, the video not allowed in “your country” (Australia, where I am). Hm perhaps it’ll eventually leak through 😦
That’s odd. It used to be things from Australia were censored coming here (there’s a famous SBS Abu Ghraib documentary that was banned here about 10 years ago).
Here’s an article about it:

The Message says “the upload has not made this video available in your country” and so it is censored, don’t know from which side though 😦
Snowden is really smart. Oliver is brilliant.
