I’ve hated him for platforming conservatives for years while offering the weakest counter-points to their sophistry. He thinks he’s John Stewart, but lacks the discipline and hard work that goes into preparing for interviews with hostile guests.

Controversial opinion, I hate Bill Maher. He seems like a giant, egotistical tool that screams tryhard.

I never thought that was a controversial opinion. I second that

I’ve yet to meet anyone that likes Bill Maher. He just seems so… douchey.
Snapz@lemmy.world 9 months ago
That’s not controversial? It’s known that he’s taken a pronounced, pandering turn to the right and is not redeemable.

I don’t hate him, but there is a lot of ego and vanity on the guy. And he’s far less clever than he thinks he is.

Or exactly 40 and have some sense.

It’s not controversial. Anybody with the level of success he’s reached has a trillion trolls and haters. You can’t make everyone like you… especially when you speak your mind about everything.

Lol it’s a pretty standard opinion, actually. Maybe one of the most shared opinions across the American political spectrum.

I guess I have crappy friends then, damn.

Yes you do. Democrat or Republican, everyone with sense hates Bill Mahr.

I think you can have sense and still find him a little entertaining. He’s definitely a bit full of himself, but I enjoy hearing someone talk shit a little shit about the left.
Guess I did get a little tired of him, haven’t watched his show in like a year. But I wouldn’t say I hate him.
