but I enjoy watching his show and have since "Politically Correct". I think he brings up important topics that no one else would. Good topics and discussion.
I have noticed of late that he is really being attacked by main stream media?? No sure what that is all about. I hope we do move to a more progressive form of society, the sooner the better.

He postures as a staunch supporter of science and facts, and stoops to emotion-based drivel on the guns issue. Were he to invite a qualified person on his program -- such as award-winning liberal criminologist Gary Kleck -- Maher would look dumber than a crate of hammers. So of course he creates an echo-chamber with like-minded idiots that share his belief in "common sense" "gun control".

Laughable, were it not for the fact that this is destroying us. Luckily a few newcomers - like Jon Ossoff - know the score.

He's a card carrying member of the "I want more money per season" party and acting accordingly.
