Just like Ann Coulter, Bill Maher is a persona. He presents himself to the public in a way that keeps the paychecks rolling in and his show on the air.
I personally a number of people who work for him on that show, as they were former interns of ours from another prodn co. From what was told to me for a few years now, he’s not really the asshole you see with his stupid remarks.
he’s just tired.
MOST of the time, he says something far-left just to make his really commie masters at HBO believe he’s “with” them bec. he’s paid a lot of money. But in private. he’s a pragmatic person and doesnt really hate Trump. His exec producers are the ones making him dance like a puppet and I’ve met them all. And ALL I want to effing strangle. Couldnt stand any of them.
