Just found out that the editor in chief of The New Yorker, David Remnick, and Bill Maher are childhood friends. It is stated that “He attended Yavneh Academy in Paramus.[6] Remnick was also a childhood friend of comedian Bill Maher.[7]”
We all know that editor have the power to alter articles to fit their direction.
Do you guys think the hit piece on Hasan Minhaj was orchestrated by Bill Maher’s team. I know he and Hasan already had beef due to criticism Hasan made about Bill regarding his takes on Muslim issues. And Bill probably does not want him as the host of the Daily Show or as competition. Ever since John left, Bill’s show over took the market and now Hasan would have presented a serious threat.
A few weeks ago Bill Maher mentioned in his opening monologue on his show that Hasan was exposed for making stuff up, then he bitched about how Hasan said Bill Maher said certain inflammatory things that he apparently hadn’t.
That was after the New Yorker story had published.
Yes, it was after. I have no idea if Bill Maher encouraged the story; it’s just a fact I thought readers of this thread might be interested in.
Maher says inflammatory shit all the time, anytime religion comes up he will specifically shit on Islam more than others over weak arguments… Remember his come to Jesus moment over saying he was a “house n*****r” ??
He sure does. However, here it was about Hasan misrepresenting what Bill Maher had said. I’m not sure that Bill Maher misrepresents what other people have said. Maybe he does, but I just don’t know about it.
He thinks Christian’s can be misguided and extreme
He thinks all Muslims are driven by a violent religion
Those are general comments, not comments about specific people.
