@PlisSendhelp Umm, I’m not sure we’ve had any confirmation whatsoever from Joey Jay that they’re a homosexual. Seems like something that would be mentioned at least once.
@arlowhite I was on this flight, and what actually happened is two kids continued fighting after being repeatedly warned they’d “turn this plane around” if they didnt stop.

The defamation suit against John Oliver centered on a 2024 segment about Iowa's privatized Medicaid program. The specific claim: that Oliver had "feigned outrage" at an Iowa healthcare manager for "ratings and profits."
What the healthcare manager actually said, in his own testimony at an actual hearing, about a patient with cerebral palsy who could not clean himself: "People have bowel movements every day where they don't completely clean themselves, and we don't fuss too much. People are allowed to be dirty. I would allow him to be dirty for a couple of days."
Oliver said he thought it had to be taken out of context. His team obtained the full hearing transcript to verify. It was not taken out of context. He then said what he thought about it, in the terms he chose, on television.
Judge Abrams dismissed the suit. In her opinion she wrote that "the trauma and loss of human dignity that befalls a man with cerebral palsy who has trouble cleaning himself and is left for days in his own fecal matter is the same, regardless of whether or not he wears a diaper" - disposing of the plaintiff's technical distinction between the two patients in the segment.
The plaintiff argued Oliver feigned outrage. The judge found the outrage was about a documented, verified, on-the-record statement by the plaintiff himself.
This is what accountability journalism looks like when it works. The segment was accurate. The response was proportional. The lawsuit was a SLAPP - Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation, designed to make speaking up expensive enough that people stop doing it. The court said no. Oliver's record remains perfect. The patient's dignity remains the point.
