OH, NOES! HBO is in so much trouble, you guys! John Oliver made mean words on teevee about the company that buried six coalminers alive, and it really hurt that poor coal CEO's feelings! Per WaPo , The lawsuit, filed in West Virginia circuit court, accuses Oliver of carrying out a “meticulously planned attempt to assassinate the character and reputation” of Murray and broadcasting false statements about his company to HBO’s 134 million paying subscribers.
Yeah, he could have gone down, to the modest number of people who heard about him, as a dastardly villain in the mold of Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life," or the pre-redempted E. Scrooge. But, noooooo, Mr. Murray decides to go all in on expanding his fame to tens of millions, playing the part of the buffoon, the laughingstock, the backward village idiot. To each his own.
"Had I known that this evil mountain, this alive mountain, would do what it did, I would never have sent the miners in here. I’ll never go near that mountain again." Riiiiight, because the mountain held a gun to Murray's head and forced him to send the miners to their deaths. Another good reason we need gun control laws.
Except with Trump, his people say "the president didn't do that," and then Trump tweets "Oh yes I did!" and then expects them to convince everyone that he didn't do it or admit to doing it, and threatens to fire them when they can't.
Holy jesus christ what a fat load of shit. The in-your-face disdain this guy has for the families of the men he killed is awful. Too bad the little muffin is terminally ill.

Any aggregate total of a billion would probably get the point across.
For what? Speaking my opinion anonymously on my own time? My boss is at least as left wing as I am.

He pretty much did.
Dear Bob: Go hang yourself and let your corporation collapse. Sincerely, America.
Yep. Let's kill coal (re-bury it?) one solar panel at a time.

Hey, owning a mine comes with bad PR, especially when you are criminally negligent with safety. He should have known what he was getting into.
They delved too deep and unleashed an ancient evil of fire and shadow.

We should send him every Chip & Dale & Rocky & Bullwinkle episode ever created... On BetaMax I imagine.
Last talking squirrel I saw said not to eat the brown acid.
Did you get their number? Asking for somebody I barely know.
Perfect.
