Maher can point out the common sense in issues, as in saying the Right has legitimate gripes of the Leftist agenda, but it doesn’t make him correct.
Maher is often very insightful even if he is pretty far left. I don’t have any problem considering what he says or even cheering if he says something I agree with.
That my FRiend is what our public discourse should be. Put your ideas out there and I put mine out there and let people decide.
What we have now is societal engineering on a massive scale and there is nothing “democratic” or “liberal” about it. It is dangerous and history shows that it leads to horrific things.
This week?
It's not so much the press is lying but that both sides only give the 'facts' their side wants to hear. Niche targeting and changed incentive patters in news organizations. Subtle but huge change.
Then countries that 'duke it out' vs no dissent vs civilized. Complex ideas boiled down to an easy essence to understand. Brilliant.
Then a suggestion: we don't have to all 'get along' or agree. We need to be professionals. This is the one that's funny AND worth thinking about: we need to be more like Hollywood. What? More like Hollywood? Make the damn movie even when 'team members' hate each other. The job isn't to overcome human nature and 'all get along' it's to rise above the pettiness and 'make the damn movie' - or "to do what's best for the country".
And guests? All three were amazing - and probably all liberal.
Think of the show as 'food for thought' and fun. Not as 'correct or not correct.
