Bill Maher: Toe The Woke Line Or Lose Your Job In Media
OAN ^ | Aug 22 | OAN Newsroom

Posted on 08/22/2021 9:43:39 AM PDT by RandFan

Liberal comedian Bill Maher took on the woke takeover of media. On his HBO show Real Time on Friday evening, Maher welcomed former New York Magazine writer Andrew Sullivan as a guest on the show.

Sullivan singled out academia as the biggest cause of the woke takeover as universities have been allegedly teaching students to think of themselves as part of racial and sexual groups instead of as individuals. Academia has not be unique to the problem however, as Sullivan was recently pushed out of New York Magazine for not toeing the woke line.

“You were at New York Magazine, but you kinda quit them because newsrooms right now have become a place where, you used to be able to get fired by the editor or the owner,” Maher explained. “Now you’re fired because woke in the newsroom, right? You have to conform to the one true opinion or they don’t even want you in the building.”

His guest Andrew Sullivan: I know he's a deviant and I remember him being a supporter of the Iraq War. He was very arrogant about it as well in fact think I sent him emails around the time.

Apr. 8, 2003: “We still don’t know if Saddam has been killed … But we do know that this war is almost as good as won after three weeks.”

He then supported Obama. Seems all over the place to me.

Not to be trusted!

Maher is one of those responsible for Woke Culture.

As far as I know he never retracted his lie that Bristol Palin was Trig’s mother and Sarah faked the pregnancy to protect her daughter.

He seem to be trying to fix it now. A lot of people probably didn’t see the danger at the beginning.

Well he is right on this issue. If he maintains his current position on the topic that is.

@ post 7 - Nothing to add. I sigh and shake my head when the useful fools realize they have been spreading the miasma and then want to pretend they are not part of the problem.

It is not just ‘the media’ Bill Maher. Talk to your fellow comedy artists and writers about their restrictions! There used to be a reliable venue at colleges & universities, but not any more! Think that Don Rickles could get ANY JOB these days? I’d bet that even Sammy Davis Jr would be picketed and banned by the antisemite crowd today!

Yes, I’m glad your awake and not ‘woke’ but this is the poisoned fruit of the trees that your LEFTist compatriots have planted!

Exactly. I hate finding myself on the same side as someone like him. How we got there is quite different, I am sure.

Beneath the useless snarky comments, the real story here is that our political opponents are turning against each other. This was expected, is noteworthy, and is likely to increase. It is a good thing.

It’s not just the media. I’m in tech, and it is the same here. Toe the line or you are gone.
