Love Last Week Tonight so much. Only thing that makes Stewart leaving the Daily Show tolerable.

He's basically awesome on all of them. But I feel like it's more about exposing the general population to these things. Like who didn't already know making the public pay for the stadium was a complete sham? He touches on the Miami Marlins but it's pretty mind-blowing how much bullshit they got away with, especially for a team that can't fill 1/3 of the stadium on a yearly basis.

True Detective has been such an abortion this season I didn't even check HBO go for the latest episode of his, during GoT/Veep/Silicon Valley I'd have that weekly reminder

See, I agree with this argument but I've always been a little bothered by the Marlins financial documents that were leaked. Those documents were only for one year, and said the Marlins did make money that one year, but they didn't say anything about the past debt the Marlins owed. They very well could have and probably were in the hole, especially troubling for Loria since the documents revealed that for some idiotic reason he owns the team in partnership (meaning he is personally liable for all Marlins debt).

I'm not defending Loria, but people have latched onto a really simplistic view of those leaked documents that isn't really true.

I'm not defending Loria, I'm just saying. Attack the man for the awful things he actually has done, not the more speculative things. It's a bad look when you're like "But he actually made a profit last year!" if the team is actually still in a ton of debt from years prior.

Loria is a dumb-shit at business who painted himself into a corner with his own stupidity (a fucking partnership? Really?). Attack him for that.
