The video is NSFW because it is on HBO. Bad words and whatnot. But definitely worth watching.
John Oliver (of Last Week Tonight on HBO) interviews Edward Snowden and discusses the Patriot Act.
I'm just going to say it. John Oliver, a British comedian on HBO, is the most credible, hard-hitting TV journalist in America right now. Not necessarily because of this interview, though it helps. He is, every episode, producing great, interesting content that brings important issues to light.
This is a great video interview with Snowden and discussion of government surveillance. It shows how far we've come regarding our opinions on government surveillance, but also how woefully short we are of really wanting and getting real change. It also distills this issue down to something that people really care about. It is hilarious (and I laughed so hard there were tears in my eyes), but also a very accurate view of the issue.
