(630 posts)It's also been mentioned to me that the poster is an employee of the network, but I have no way of verifying that one way or the other. Would be kinda shity if true though.

(2,187 posts)I dont know why Maher is entitled to free advertising on this site. I dont see any other talk show with a weekly guest update, especially one whose politics has definitely taken a clear rightward shift.
It all seems very sus
Besides we all know who HBOs owner will be.
question everything
(52,629 posts)Rhiannon12866 is one of the most respected and admired on DU and you hint hat she is shilling for a corporation?
She tirelessly scans programs and talk shows, podcasts and newsreports and few can be compared to her.

(39,430 posts)but OK.
question everything
(52,629 posts)He obviously wants to promote his new book.
Warnock is great, after his appearance with Jon Stewart and Wilmore is always fun.
As long as they get to speak.
Thanks for posing.

(2,187 posts)Or Candace Owens or Joe Rogan. Hell at this point, Joe Rogan is more critical of Trump than Maher.
What purpose does this weekly thread serve? Is someone being paid by Warner brothers to advertise this shit?
question everything
(52,629 posts)Maher is a Democrat who wants to help by offering critical suggestions. Many here agree with him. I am not aware of those in your list who have ever been associated with the Democratic party.
Maher had Al Gore, Gavin Newsome James Talarico and, of corse today Senator Warnock.
He gave Obama a Million dollars and made many donations.
Is this really the most important issue of today?
Why are some here obsessed with what we watch?
fujiyamasan
(2,187 posts)Sorry, dont care for someone shilling right wing talking points week after week. Not sure why he gets this kind of free advertising. You never answered why hes worthy of what is basically a sticky thread that comes up weekly.
Maher gave that donation over a decade ago. Who gives a shit. Now hes basically Trumps biggest liberal apologist.
