[Bev54]

Just one more reason not to watch CNN

1. That's unfortunate.

Maher is a tool. I haven't watched CNN for a long time. Guess I'll continue not to watch.

[iemanja]

2. Repulsive

Bill Maher is an odious human being.

[mahina]

4. Concur

Plus he is a bore

[Initech]

6. He's basically morphed into Jordan Peterson at this point.

Come to think of it, I've never seen Maher and Peterson in the same room together.

[A HERETIC I AM]

11. I have. Maher had him in about 4 years ago

Peterson is an idiot that stupid people think is a genius.

He defines the term Pseudo Intellectual.

5. I could not agree more.

I stopped watching him years ago. Last week I was visiting my daughter and my son-in-law turned him on, his interview was with Bill Barr. Maher felated him the entire interview

[tishaLA]

22. After that NYT story last week, you'd think an honest person

would go on his show and talk about how foolish he feels for kissing Barr's ass.

17. It will be a pleasure to ignore this new CNN scheduling. (nt)

3. Transphobic Maher

Disgusting pig spreading dog whistle anti trans phobia like few others.

7. 😖

They have gone nutz, just like most of the rest of this country. It’s sickening and alarming to see what is happening here. And many people will watch it. Because watching idiots and frauds like him seems to be what many are interested in now- reality tv, talk crap.

8. I'll listen to music, thank you. 😊

9. This is why they are doing it...

"Overtime" is already produced (though it's shorter - sometimes it's only 5 minutes) and cable is dead at that time.

There is little risk to it and it promotes HBO Max and Bill's main show.

12. Accorrding to Keith Olbermann, the current President of CNN

Chris Licht... used to eat paste (or at least that is what everyone thought)

and he was hired to tank CNN... and so far, he is doing a great job!

[Bev54]

13. It has definitely tanked, I saw a few weeks ago their viewership was down to

just over 300,000. Pretty bad alright.

[lapfog_1]

14. As Keith points out

his current podcast (active downloads) beats CNN in the target advertiser demo. I should note that KO's numbers are total... and the advertisers demographic age range for CNN is much smaller than total viewers.

That said, that a still relatively recent podcast which is not promoted can be compared to a 24x7 "news" channel with all of the costs associated with that... is remarkable.

15. Oh God

Great now hes getting a cable platform to spew more hate about transgender people. Why? Just leave us alone please for the love of God. I wanna just enjoy my life without being demonized

[Bev54]

21. It's just overtime right now but how long before it turns into more?

[Kid Berwyn]

16. It'll raise the ratings!

Think of the money!

[JI7]

18. Who watches CNN on Friday nights ?

[Demsrule86]

19. I have no interest.

[PortTack]

20. They can have him...don't care to watch either one!

[Fullduplexxx]

23. He likes to bash democrats so of course he found a home their

24. He likes to bash democrats so of course he found a home there

25. Bill Maher ceased to be funny or relevant a while back

John Malone efforts are paying off.

Promoting TFG is not a good move by CNN

[Bev54]

27. Why do they only report target audience, don't the care what the rest of us watch?

Especially as the population is aging.

[rdchili96]

26. Hmmm...

CNN desperately trying to be Fox News.
