are forced to admit their side deals in BS is Bill Maher's show because they get laughed at by a crowd ready to laugh at the BS. Everyone knows what the MAGA game is. On cable tv the Republicans and MAGA do not break the characters they play. Bill Maher is very satisfying in that way because the right wing nuts don't get away with their lies because there is less decorum on the show. Cable news is not satisfying in that way. They remain polite on cable news.
