Is there a specific reason why Maher seemingly gets so many Mediaite articles written about him?
- I mean, in the line of quid-pro-quo or preferential treatment for one reason or another?

Or does it have more to do with the dearth of enough interesting topics to write about, and his combative style moves him up on the selection list?

Mediaite looks for things that can generate controversy. Maher is wrong so often that it’s almost always a win for Mediaite (as their page views go up).

@ Norbit

I’d guess the same reason why SNL gets extensive writeups. Hmmm.

Yes, but the problem is that Progressive Liberal Reality doesn’t change!
The reasoning factor, in assimmilating new facts and experiences, has been petrified in myopic Progressive stereotypes.

Isn’t that reality of Maher’s a lot like the one that MSLSD spends what appears to be all of it’s airtime screaming about people on Fox News “scaring people to death” with?

Hey, at least Maher is right once in a while.

Salim Mansur:

I am more convinced now, as I wasn’t when Paul Kennedy wrote about the rise and fall of great powers, that the West has gone over the tipping point in its terminal decline. That intelligent people, or people who claim to be intelligent, (I have in mind the talking heads in the U.S. media such as Chris Matthews or Fareed Zakaria) cannot make the difference between the sham of the Muslim Brotherhood talking about freedom and democracy and the generic thirst in man to be free. These are the people who have like the Bourbons learned nothing and forgotten nothing. They are glibly about to put the Lenins of our time into trains heading for Moscows of our time, they find nothing odd that they are pushing for the Muslim Brotherhood to be taken into governing when everything needs to be done to keep the Muslim Brotherhood out even as one carefully negotiate the long historic transition of Arab societies from tribal autorcracy and military dictatorships to representative rule and constitutionally limited government. I read you when I can, and I wish that you and others like you were closer to the main media control in the West, or in government.

Probably for the same reason there are so many articles about Beck and Limbaugh and Palin. That said, this article centers around the quote, “This Isn’t Fox News, This Is Reality.” There’re two (Shep Smith and Chris Wallace) real journalists on Fox — Brit Hume was once, dropped that ball a long time ago. The rest of them are moonbats. Put Palin in O’Reilly’s den and she would never have gotten a hard question, put Beck in Hannity’s chair, it would have made a gay man blush the love would have been so explicit. Yet this young woman gets a hard question and you find it a reason to criticize Maher? Reality is not what Fox sells.

Is it any wonder or ironic the liberal left worships at the alter of comedians to rely on their talking points?

How clever……… Bash Beck day and night and then ask the same questions he has been asking. Now the libs will come out and say Maher is right and will not get the connection in any way.

I honestly believe if Maher would take a male lover, he’d be less uptight, with less bitching, all the time. He’s a frustrated old dude, who’d be much happier if he just came out. Someone in Hollywood should offer to ‘service’ the dude, with a paper bag over Maher’s face, of course. After all, he is butt-ugly, to the bone. LOL.

Bill Maher isn’t with her at all he is with Likud and wants nothing more than to Egypt to remain under the yoke of Israel and the United States, he knows that their boy Mubarak is on his way out and are scared that they wont be able to control Egypt anymore. Bill Maher is religious, his religion is Zionism.

I criticize Maher often enough on this site, but that was not the intent here.

As for political bias, there are myriad posts right here, on any given topic and on any given day, that identify and expose a demonstrable mindset and agenda of the mainstream media.

Obviously Bill is perfectly okay with Israel bombing hospitals and schools killing women and children. But those evil Muslims with their stonings!

The difference between Bill Maher and Fox News is Bill hates religion and Fox hates Muslims.

Not to worry ‘CB” It will soon be under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood

the motto of the organization remains as it always has been:

- Allah is our objective.

- The Prophet is our leader.

- Qur’an is our law.

- Jihad is our way.

- Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.

With the amount of time Maher spends on the front page of Mediaite, I really have to wonder what the hell the mandate of this website is? Seems to be nothing more than a megaphone for HBO and Comedy Central at this point with occasional reach arounds for the NBC mothership thrown in. Bill Maher, important, transformational and powerful figure driving the national dialogue and building concensus? Oh yes, according to the Mediaite staff, who must be waiting around for Playboy Massion invities on a daily basis from this faux Howard Beal.

Can we please get a complete analysis of the Egyptian crisis from the libs’ Chief Foreign Affairs expert, Sean Penn?

The brotherhood is Egypt’s version of the Wall Builders, only lacking the milky charisma of a Barton at the helm.

speaking of which, a movie surfaced in my netflix rotation that I sincerely hope marked the end of Penn’s lack luster screen career. Mystic River. 90% of his lines were unintelligible due to his lame attempt to speak with a Boston accent. Not sure what the movie was about since I spent most of it laughing at his lilt and the other half wondering what he said.

comment on this frequently. It disgusting and quite telling that Maher’s voice and/or opinion seems to carry so much weight at Mediaite. Hmmmmmmm is all I can say cause he certainly isn’t speaking to mainstream america but then, neither is Mediaite. Maher is a has been angry little man who’s petulance and attempts to insert himself into the political scene are not meaningful, funny, relevant or noteworthy. Kinda like Couric, WHO F***ing CARES

“The Brotherhood hardly would get more than 30% of the votes in a free and fair election (and they are firm believers in parliamentary democracy). They are not hegemonic, and definitely not the face of the new Egypt. In fact there’s a strong possibility they would evolve to become similar to the AKP (Justice and Development Party) in Turkey. Moreover, according to a recent Pew poll, 59% of Egyptians want parliamentary democracy, and 60% are against religious extremism.
Egypt essentially makes money out of tourism, tolls in the Suez Canal, manufacture and agricultural exports, and aid (mostly military) such as the annual $1.5 billion from the US. It badly needs to import grain (the reason behind increasing food prices, one of the key reasons for the protests). All of this spells out a dependency on the outside world. The Egyptian souq (the bazaar), with a large Coptic Christian community, totally depends on foreign tourists. ”

.
Well, in that case perhaps I should just cheer them on.

This article, especially the 30% figure, rings a bell with me. Who/what could it have been. Oh, that’s right. It was this little group in a country far far away:

.
“The story of how Hitler became a dictator is set forth in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William Shirer, on which this article is based.

In the presidential election held on March 13, 1932, there were four candidates: the incumbent, Field Marshall Paul von Hindenburg, Hitler, and two minor candidates, Ernst Thaelmann and Theodore Duesterberg. The results were:

Hindenburg 49.6 percent
Hitler 30.1 percent
Thaelmann 13.2 percent
Duesterberg 6.8 percent

At the risk of belaboring the obvious, almost 70 percent of the German people voted against Hitler, causing his supporter Joseph Goebbels, who would later become Hitler’s minister of propaganda, to lament in his journal, “We’re beaten; terrible outlook. Party circles badly depressed and dejected.” ”

.”The July 31, 1932, election produced a major victory for Hitler’s National Socialist Party. The party won 230 seats in the Reichstag, making it Germany’s largest political party, but it still fell short of a majority in the 608-member body…..Political deadlocks in the Reichstag soon brought a new election, this one in November 6, 1932. In that election, the Nazis lost two million votes and 34 seats. Thus, even though the National Socialist Party was still the largest political party, it had clearly lost ground among the voters…..On January 30, 1933, President Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler chancellor of Germany. Although the National Socialists never captured more than 37 percent of the national vote, and even though they still held a minority of cabinet posts and fewer than 50 percent of the seats in the Reichstag, Hitler and the Nazis set out to to consolidate their power. With Hitler as chancellor, that proved to be a fairly easy task. ”

http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0403a.asp

.
Within seven weeks of that 30% party winning the election the Constitution was suspended and Germany became The Third Reich. But, we can trust the MB b/c they are honorable men as they keep telling us. .

Guess you didnt see Maher interview Bibi, he had his tongue so far up his ass he could have told you what he ate for breakfast yesterday. Bibi could have announced on Real Time his plan to gas the children of Gaza and Bill Maher would have probably offered to do a telethon for free to raise money for it, which wouldn’t have been needed of course cause the US would have given Israel the gas for free.

Funny how you are defending Maher one of the biggest liberal bombthrowers in the media but of course I am not surprised being a Zionist comes before your party, you people stick together. That is why you defend both Peter King and Anthony Weiner.

Sure they are. Obama is a war monger and I am told he is a progressive all day every day.

Happily, nothing that Maher says about FNC or Limbaugh diminishes their reach and impact. Maher and all Leftist media hacks probably are so rage-filled at this reality that they beat their spouses and children each night.

What a great interview and what an impressive young woman! Maher has his distractors and he can be quite hyperbolic at times, but the reason he continues to be sought after is that he is one clever comedic guy, which I’m sure you RW’s don’t appreciate. I think it’s a hopeless cause, trying to bring some commonsense to the RW’s who seem to favor Mediaite, despite its left orientation. I think you come here because you’re bored of the pap you get on the rightwing websites, which are infinitely worse and much more one-sided than the left and liberal websites. Be that what it may, I don’t know what it’s going to take to get you off the Kool-Aid. You people are basically close-minded, like most of our MSM, but if you’d really like to find out why we’ve been caught with our pants down over the Egyptian Revolution I suggest you read Frank Rich’s column in today’s NYT (below). Naturally, Frank Rich is a card carrying whatever or, at best, a dangerous crackpot! The problem with the right is that you can’t absorb information unless it’s given to you by Beck, O’Reilly, Palin, Limbaugh, FOX, etc. Big mistake, as you’re beginning to find out. The last election proved nothing except that there are a lot of angry, uninformed people who are beginning to wake up in a somewhat similar fashion as the young Egyptians. So far, the anger has been misdirected due to the propaganda emanating not just from FOX, but from most MSM. But things are changing. Beck is stumbling, Palin can’t get any serious traction, FOX has to become more moderate because they will lose advertisers, especially over Beck. Things will change for the better especially when RW’s start loving our country more than they hate Democrats.

I have no problem with Bill Maher anymore than I had with Mort Sahl or Vaughn Meader or Dave Letterman who is a pretty good political satirist as well. As a life long Republican coming from a political family and active in politics for many years, I have always considered Bill Maher to be more comedic in his presentation and basically that is his job. The only odd man out slight possibility with Bill is that he is depending on his writers for most material. Another interesting thought is that at Bill’s age, maybe he has a character consisting of this left Wing accuser and pundit but when he goes home he takes out the Chivas Regal, sits in the Lazy Boy and watches Fox News. I have actually known a few celebrities that changed their stripes the minute they opened the door to their home. Another thing, Fox News and Sarah Palin and the Republican Party are Bill’s raison d’etre (French for reason for being), I cannot blame Bill for chasing these subjects because that strategy evolves into his success with the younger blogger audience.

have u noticed all progressives are anti war?

It’s not that they are anti-war, it’s that they are anti-success. So even a just war is bad to them if the outcome leads to one side gaining on the other. On the other hand, if one side is evil, failed or wrong, then the Left will support them over the good side as a way to make things more “equal.”

People have called this “appeasement”, but it goes deeper as the left doesn’t share in the idea of making things better.

The key is that the Left operates under a belief system in which everything has to be forced to be “equal.” If everything was “equal”, then they think all of our societal problems will go away.

The problem is in order to force everything to be “equal”, they have to treat people unequally! This is where the Socialism comes from in that they feel they need to control everything.

This is all why they hate Israel and support all of the failures around Israel. It’s not that they support the failures so much, but that they need to tear down Israel. See, Israel is too successful.

Like how the left works to make the rich more poor, the left works to tear down Israel.

It is quite amusing to see these progressives on television. It’s attack Fox News and Rush Limbough and Glen Beck and Sarah Palin day in and day out. They have absolutely no imagination what so ever. Did I say amusing? No, it’s really quite pathetic.

Bill Maher is just a wacked out drug addict. His brain, what ever there was of one, has been destroyed by all the drugs he use.

Fox News is for powerless angry people.

Mark Twain said: “The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction must make sense”.

Mahar is at the stage of self awareness and of his own mortality that he is comtemptious of all Religions. Maybe he will grow beyond his ‘sophomoric’ level of philosophy and really look at reality.

@ChrisinNH

“Maher and all Leftist media hacks probably are so rage-filled at this reality that they beat their spouses and children each night.”

I thought Maher was gay. Does he have a live-in husband and perhaps adopted kids?

@78Thomas
“Fox News is for powerless angry people.”

Yeah, like the ones that started the Tea Party Movement and got 64 House, 5 Senate and 700 State legislative seats elected last November in THE ONLY POLL THAT MATTERS. Plus 30 Governors to help redistrict Congressional districts after the 2010 Census!!!

God, the Demonrats have the dumbest posters in the universe…!

There is more to Mahar’s comment than just being funny. A former Fox insider has stepped forward to say what critics of Fox have suspected for a long time: they make stuff up! Fox is not a news channel; propaganda is the purpose of Fox “News.”

David Mangan, read that and pout!

ChrisNH says:
“Happily, nothing that Maher says about FNC or Limbaugh diminishes their reach and impact.”

Chris, you value ideology over truth. Sad, but not unexpected from someone who watches the channel that programs you to think that Fox staffers or Limbaugh are honest.

The cat’s out of the bag. You have been programmed:
