Your opinion counts most, since it's the minority.

To be fair, I'll bet he does dick amount of research.
He's probably heavily involved in the joke writing, though |

So taxpayers pay for profit driven stadiums yet receive no return on the investment other than "jobs"..Its been proven that these buildings dont provide that much boost to the economy. If there were no football team...those people would spend the $200 somewhere else...and likely not in such a consolidated manner.
They can argue construction...but there is a crumbling infrastructure that the money could be used for...thus producing "jobs". That allocation of funds benefits the society as a whole...not just NFL fans and their handful of billionaire owners. |

I cannot stand Jon Stewart anymore, but this guy isn't slamming one side only. He points out how bad both sides are and touches on issues main stream media would never talk about. It's a great show.

Exactly how I see him. Bill Mahr, Stewart, Limbaugh, et al can go **** themselves with their slanted views but Oliver works both sides of the street...

I think that if the city and the tax payer have to help pay for the stadium....that a percentage of the profits get put BACK into the city.
