Fake Journalism Wins Again As John Oliver Interviews Edward Snowden

Meet the next great "journalist..."

For a decade, Jon Stewart has been the most trusted (fake) journalist in the country. Now that he is retiring, there is a wide chasm for a real reporter to sit in the big boy chair and deliver the interviews America craves.

As we begin to grieve Stewart’s loss, another (fake) journalist, John Oliver, is more than ready to take his place — as seen in this riveting and surprisingly tense interview with NSA whistleblower/Russian expatriate Edward Snowden.

The guy has been on a never-ending press tour from Charlie Rose to SXSW, but it took a comedian to get him to really talk.

(Somewhere Walter Cronkite is crying at the state of journalism.)
