Jon Stewart has more class, humility, and grace in his ass crack after eating at Arby’s and getting food poisoned and THEN eating at Taco Bell AND Chipotle than Bill Maher has ever displayed on his best day. Bill Maher is the most elitist, snobbiest, pretentious asshole that I have ever heard, at least prior to Trump. I’m hoping it’s a “bit”, which comedians often do, and I give comedians a HUGE amount of slack that I would not a more traditional “news” organization. It’s the ultimate clickbait reactionary trolling, and it’s funny even if also nauseating to watch at the same time.
So if that is what you meant, that much I agree with - I just wanted something recent to link to, as if this issue has not been debated back & forth ad nauseam since before any of us were alive:-), and for some reason most people seem reluctant to put forth such a measured response to the situation? :-P
While I am reading those, here is a clip of Jon Stewart’s take on the issue… from 9 years in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmCKZYKsiGM.
