Twitter melts on Bill Maher by adding a CNN segment

[ad_1]

CNN has announced plans to air a segment of Bill Maher’s HBO program on Fridays.

The network will move away from “CNN Tonight” to air Maher’s post-show segment “Overtime” as a way to boost ratings.

The channel continues to set a viewership record, last week averaging its lowest total in nine years. CNN lacks star power, a person who watches by appointment. That’s where Maher comes in. HBO and CNN share common ownership, and Maher is the goose that lays the golden eggs.

But he’s not as politically correct as the average CNN host. He is a Democrat but has not progressed with the demands of the party. He says the party has changed, not him.

Currently, he mocks the woke left as often as the right. And therein lies the outrage.

Maher followed the trend on Twitter on Tuesday morning as leftist blue checks railed against an independent voice encroaching on their turf.

Cenk Uygur, often volatile “Young Turks” host, didn’t like CNN, including someone who doesn’t share his views:

Bill Maher is actually perfect for CNN to be honest. False equivalences, supporting right-wing culture war talking points, fighting for the status quo and that smug face. Tapper might get jealous because he might be overwhelmed.

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan suggested that Maher was racist. He called his “cancellation” for the crime of opposing cancel culture:

Hmm. Bill Maher is obsessed with the idea that “cancel culture is out of control”. Yet Maher himself just got a new gig on CNN, despite saying outrageous things about Muslims, Arabs and trans people; making rude jokes about Asians; & using the N-word on TV.

Cancel culture? Okay.

Former cable host Keith Olbermann stays home on Friday nights. He pets his dogs and consumes left-wing commentary on TV. But he’ll be damned if he turns to CNN again.

KO protests against the movement:

The remains of Bill Maher will therefore be broadcast on @cnn on Friday evening. As a veteran guest on this show – not that it exceeds CNN’s 92k demo rating average – what about the profanity? pic.twitter.com/P4vDIWVVdt

Elsewhere, The Anti-White Bishop is discouraged that CNN dared to include Maher’s “Tears of Mayonnaise” on its airwaves.

“Bill Maher attacked revival, called himself a house n**ga, defended @IngrahamAngle, hosted @megynkelly to complain about black victimization and @MrsSOsbourne to complain about cancel culture. His Mayonnaise Tears tour will now continue on @CNN,” tweets The Bishop.

Note: The swan says that a white man is either a “melanin deficient monster”, “a mayonnaise dripper”, or a “melanin deficient demon”.

We now know which phrase defines Bill Maher.

The side of diversity and inclusion proves once again that they are far from it. In fact, they are on the side of exclusion. They often call for the ostracism of anyone who sees an issue differently from the mainstream narrative.

Maher laid out the degrees of their hysteria – from Covid-19 dramas to the awake crowd, from obesity to CRT in the classroom. And they hope to ruin him for it.

Ultimately, Maher is a serious threat to the movement. While they may dismiss Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, it’s a challenge to disregard an anti-Trump Democratic comedian.

Maher is also more influential than any media pundit on their side, with the possible exception of Rachel Maddow.

This is what sets him apart from less popular satirists, like Trevor Noah and John Oliver. Maher admitted as much last month, explaining the difference between himself and others:

I tell the truth. I don’t just play for half the country and I don’t say the things that will make them cheer.

Obviously, the angry left-wing blue checks preferred that CNN stay focused on just that half.
