’s Last Week Tonight. The telecom giant AT&T in May announced plans to spin off HBO parent WarnerMedia and merge it with Discovery in a deal expected to close by mid-2022.According to Oliver, when asked for comment, AT&T stated that It has never taken a stance on abortion. “An amazing sentence,” he said. And he said the company noted that employee-backed contributions to Texas legislators went to both supporters and opponents of the Texas abortion legislation.

“Not taking a stance on this issue right now is taking a stance,” Oliver said. “And both-siding abortion isn’t really the PR slam dunk that that they seem to think it is.” “Although it is certainly on brand for them. AT&T clearly likes their public statements the same way that they like their cell signal — hilariously f-cking weak.”

Oliver noted that so far much of corporate America has decided not to weigh in on the Texas abortion law, in stark contrast to companies’ willingness to speak out on racial justice, voting rights and other social issues. Oliver returned live in the presence of a small Covid-vaxed and tested audience — that recorded only one breakthrough infection. “But not of Covid, of smallpox, so it’s completely all right.”
