It's advertising a commercial product that is not aligned with DU.

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.

I don’t know why Maher is entitled to free advertising on this site. I don’t 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 HBO’s owner will be.

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.

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.

Or Candace Owen’s 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?

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?

Sorry, don’t 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 he’s 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 he’s basically Trump’s biggest “liberal” apologist.

Although it's another two play weekend, tonight at the La Jolla Playhouse, tomorrow The Old Globe, so I've taped it for later.

Thanks for posting!
