He can afford the frivolous lawsuit. He wants Murray exposed and that's what he's getting. Murray is a piece of shite and now a lot more people are going to hear about it.



And he's made sure Oliver mentions him on a weekly basis at this point. It was a dumb idea to sue him. Anyone who calls personally him out, he then taunts without mercy. Hence why he constantly bashes New Zealand government.

It just means that, even if all the facts plaintiff alleges, taken in the light most favorable to plaintiff, were assumed true, plaintiff still will not have stated an actionable claim (i.e., plaintiff would still lose).

What a jackass he is playing right into what Oliver said he would do. His segment was really good on the coal industry, in particular the CEOs and their BS. He's backed off of Trump some and has started making well researched segments again, even if he comes out on a different side than you would.

John Oliver net worth 5 million

Murray net worth 1.4 billion

Oliver might want it be he can't afford it.

Yeah. I don't think Murray is going to have some financial upper hand.

And from his Wikipedia page:
quote:

Murray has filed over a dozen defamation lawsuits against journalists and newspapers, none of which reached judgment in his favor

A coal company suing a leftist British comedian/a-hole in West Virginia - I hope Oliver has his defamation insurance paid up because Murray is about to buy a new yacht on his dime.

John Oliver usually isn't a good guy to go up against, because he's a master level troll.


So Donald Trump is the best troll in history by this rationale, because he's cucked the everliving frick out of John Oliver over the past 20 month.s

Only under his mentor Roger Stone, I actually agree with this. Trump is certainly one of greatest trolls of all time.

...criticized the Trump administration's effort to revive the (coal) industry
essentially every civilized nation on earth is moving toward clean energy, which, in California alone, accounts for 10x as many jobs as the entire coal industry, yet trump wants to bring that shite back.

and some of you actually think this is a good idea.

it does more harm than good in every way, yet you still want to do it.
