HBO’s John Oliver had a nearly 40-minute long meltdown on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight as he denounced Paramount CEO David Ellison’s decision to name Bari Weiss editor-in-chief of CBS News. Despite Weiss being a liberal who simply thinks the left has gone too far on things like DEI, transgenderism, and Israel, Oliver lamented that Ellison has inserted “right-leaning opinion journalism into an American icon.”
Towards the end of his Moddowian lament, Oliver played a clip of Weiss denouncing DEI and followed up by declaring, “Yeah, and that itself is a whole worldview right there. "You know this DEI thing we've been trying, where we acknowledge not everyone's been getting equal access to opportunity? Let's just roll back the clock on that. Also, let's be anti-anti-racist, and not think too much about what that might make us.’”
Much like how some people want you to think anti-fascism is simply opposition to fascism, Oliver wants you to think anti-racism is simply opposition to racism.
