John Oliver rips Fox News and Sean Hannity over their dishonesty in covering the Portland protests

HuffPost

The Last Week Tonight host called out Fox News and Hannity for making it seem like “it’s the end of America as we know it" in Portland. He then showed a Hannity clip of alleged crimes in Portland. “In fact, graffiti is listed 12 times in a row there under the headline ‘Violence in Portland,’ which is a huge overstatement,” Oliver said. “And at that point, it would have been just as accurate if that heading had said ‘cannibalism in Portland’ or ‘Texas-chainsaw massacres in Portland’ or ‘9/11s in Portland.’” ALSO: Fox News' Jesse Watters walks back his "support" of QAnon after praising the conspiracy on air.
