There is a reason why Bill Maher has been doing his political show for almost 20 years. His comedy has real bite but more than that his interviews are exceptional. With those who have an opposing view to his political agenda, he's insidious without being adversarial.

This interview with Steve Bannon is worth what I pay for HBO:Canada alone. Frankly I have more respect for Bannon than his immediate peer George Clooney who's nothing but a false hypocrite.

Maher is correct, Hillary LOST the election. She declined both offers to appear on Real Time and The Howard Stern Show.

Stern would not have attacked her, he's a stickler for objectivity. She would have had a 90 minute bully pulpit all to herself. It would have been enough to sway the electoral college in her favour. Look at the resurgence in Jane Fonda's popularity since she made her two appearances, the second with Lily Tomlin.

Bill Maher is a vile POS. But he is entertaining. I will watch this interview just out of curiosity.

Absolutely no depth to that interview. Maher comes off as an arrogant confused tool.

I used to like Maher when he pretended to be a libertarian. Now days, he's just a fellating minion of the DNC. As for Bannon, like him or loathe him, his a patriot.

Real Time. He seems like a thoughtful and patriotic man to me - what makes him an establishment shill?
Because he exposes the alt-right bullshit for what it is. As the saying goes, the truth hurts.
Maher is logical and measured. An excellent debater, always keeps himself under control.

Limbaugh is a loudmouth blowhard who rants and raves. He just likes to rile people up with his bombast and falls for conspiracy theories.

I'm not sure that you are correct. Maher and Limbaugh are polemicists. Limbaugh has been at it much longer and his audience and reach dwarfs that of Maher's. I discovered Rush at the end of the eighties while living down South. He may be loud, but he certainly is not a conspiracy theorist of any kind and he's political instincts are right on the money- that comes from constant interactions from the ordinary Americans- even if that's only over the airwaves. Rush has been and is on first name basis with who is who in the American conservatism(and not only) including the current President and has spin free access to pretty much anyone he wants. That makes his opinions extremely valuable and informed. Maher is a comedian who's trying to be a political commentator who likes to rely on hyperbole and half of the narrative. He plays to his audience far more than Rush plays to his. And, of course, Maher is completely disconnected from most of America. He's a bubble dweller.

Also irrelevant. I am sure that you have heard the comment that "The average person is not very bright, and half the population is dumber than that.

As if the bombastic, loud Rush never overstates anything.

He plays to his audience far more than Rush plays to his.
Everybody with a regular show has to do this. They need to maintain their ratings. The biggest player to their audience is trump to his base.

And, of course, Maher is completely disconnected from most of America.
Maybe in terms of square miles. Keep in mind that more people voted for Hillary, so it seems the general population is more left leaning, as he is.

And who gives a fuck that Hillary won the popular vote on the strength of California and NY??? Only unserious and uninformed poseurs. Maher's audience?

Bill is an entertainer first and will say things to get a rise out of his audience. There are many, many examples of Bill losing control.
