When reporting on the events in Ferguson, Missouri, Jon Stewart and The Daily Show looked to their Senior Black Correspondent, soon to be host of The Nightly Show, Larry Wilmore.
Here are his very poignant, well spoken thoughts on the issue, which, very easily, could be applied to the decision to not indict the NYPD officer who choked Eric Garner to death.
Being gone for the entire saga of the death of Michael Brown and the subsequent ordeals that has followed in Ferguson, MO, The Daily Show pretty much did their entire episode last night when returning from vacation on that very topic.
However, being on the ground in Ferguson to see what it’s like right now is a story in of itself according to The Daily Show’s Michael Che. Watch it here.
As your various social media feeds have been most likely filled with some sort of pictures or articles about what looks like a war zone in Ferguson, MO over the killing of the unarmed Michael Brown, one would hope that such a biting, satirical comedy news program as Last Week with John Oliver would cover this story to hopefully ease some of the confusion and bring levity, of any degree, to the matter.
Well, last night, Oliver did just that in his main segment. Watch it here.
