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.
This is teetering into conspiracy land, and I seriously doubt it. Obviously there’s going to be some pro-Hasan bias on this sub, and I think that in full context the substance of the article is t as bad as presented BUT there are still legit ethics questions to the way Hasan presented his stories. The journalist who wrote the article I’ve followed for a long time and she’s legit, she’s not some hack out to do Bill Masher’s or anyone else’s bidding.
