'You do bad things and you make the world worse. Please don't bother keeping in touch once the merger's complete. Although that should not be a problem. You're AT&T. It's not like your messages will go through anyway.'

that the telecommunications company helped build OAN, the far-right One America News Network, which is notorious for spreading COVID misinformation and conspiracy theories.

Oliver stated that, according to the Reuters report, "OAN's founder Robert Herring testified AT&T executives once told him they wanted a conservative network, and he claims, 'When they said that, I jumped to it and built one.' And once he built the channel, AT&T carried it first on their U-Verse system and then on DirecTV."

"OAN has grown into the toxic network it is today," stated Oliver. He continued as a picture of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell appeared over his shoulder, "One that's happy to give a platform to batshit election fraud theories from America's most out-of-breath pillow fetishist.

"That is such a relief! Especially that last part. Because if I may, I'd like to use that generous editorial independence to offer some constructive feedback to AT&T," said Oliver, before he launched into a series of tagline suggestions for the company. "Take AT&T's recent campaign. 'More for your thing, that's our thing,' which is, respectfully, complete gibberish. It sounds like Yoda pitching a penis-enlargement device. It is so nonsensical I have to assume something was lost in communication, which actually would be a much more appropriate slogan for the company," suggested Oliver.

John Oliver Goes After AT&T Over Its Connection With One America News: “You’re a Terrible Company”'Turns out, AT&T has been up to some s***,' the 'Last Week Tonight' host said. 'And it is worth noting, AT&T is still technically our 'Business Daddy,' making OAN our 'Business Stepsibling,' and not in a hot way.' Way past time to make corporate bad actors pay for biting the hands that feed them. Bravo, JohnOliverMP !! This did NOT get enough attention. This ATT crime against democracy REALLY deserves a more special, over the top, internet breaking stunt from LastWeekTonight. LastWeekTonight should REALLY help us all make ATT feel as special as they really are for creating OAN.
