Coal company Murray Energy has sued HBO and its Sunday-night host, John Oliver, for what it says was a “false and malicious broadcast” last Sunday evening. It's seeking financial damages and a court order barring rebroadcasts of the segment's “defamatory statements.”
Oliver's “Last Week Tonight” coal segment criticized the Trump administration's effort to revive the industry, saying coal jobs have dropped for decades and other energy alternatives are driving the industry's decline.
He ribbed Murray Energy's CEO Robert Murray, who blames regulatory efforts by the Obama administration for damaging the coal industry. He said the 77-year-old looked like a “geriatric Dr. Evil” and noted that the company had fought against coal safety regulations.

Oliver is a smug Euroweenie. Watched his show once. Great content for adult kids in the basement.
Good. Sue him into penury.
Lol
He’ll have to get a job shoveling coal...
Good, way past time to start fighting these piles.

I doubt that he could manage to shovel enough to fill a small wheelbarrow.
I would not condone such an action, however.
Well he is qualified after all the shiite he's been shoveling.
