BPR: Late-night show host John Oliver was slapped with a defamation lawsuit for an episode that aired last April.
The “Last Week Tonight” host is being accused of manipulating the words of Dr. Brian Morley for “ratings and profits,” according to the New York Post.
“F**k that doctor with a rusty canoe! I hope he gets tetanus of the balls,” Oliver ranted in an episode titled “Medicare.”
Oliver played audio of Morley from 2017, that his lawyers allege was intentionally altered.
“People have bowel movements every day where they don’t completely clean themselves and we don’t fuss over [them] too much,” Morley is heard saying in the clip played by Oliver. “People are allowed to be dirty … You know, I would allow him to be a little dirty for a couple of days.”
Audience members were repulsed by the clip, but Morley’s lawyers argue that the audience and viewers were dupped by comments that were taken out of context. more here

I’m usually in bed by 9:00 PST. I have no idea who this jack ass is.
Who?
Oliver is one of the biggest fucking assholes on TV. He’s a smarmy, lying fascist piece of shit. And his audience are a monumental pack of utter morons.
For those who don’t know who he is let me help. He’s nobody
Keep it up!
Just call it “Drain George Soros’ Big Fat Wallet!”
DGSBFW for short!
Why anyone with solid skills and a reputation would ever want to talk to any of these LibTard asses is beyond me.
If you REALLY MUST HAVE TO be interviewed by their like, do your own separate independent recording, so that when the interviewer recording is edited and b’cast, you’ll know where, what, and why the cuts were done. And what actions you need to take.
75k. Nuisance suit. Don’t know the facts but the amount screams ‘settle me’.
