The Comedy Network, and he is a wealthy Jew. He pokes fun at that a bit and also his writers. He pretty much makes fun of all sides, as well, IMO. But I just watch a clip here or there anymore.

Bill Maher truly makes fun of everyone, especially religions, and makes every one squirm...including those at his table. But I don't get HBO so only see him in clips anymore.

Maybe it's just me...making fun of people is what seems to pass for comedy in the entire culture...tv, movies, mightclubs. So that's probably my own issue.

Maybe not to you, but my point remains. There have been plenty on the left who are claiming Liberal_Stalwart71 Nov 2013 #8

Somebody has gotten to Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. Can't watch either one much any more. libdem4life Nov 2013 #7

Jon Stewart tries too hard to be "even-handed" and goes way off the mark to prove he's unbiased. Liberal_Stalwart71 Nov 2013 #10

Also he got too intellectual, I guess when interviewing serious people. libdem4life Nov 2013 #13
