    It’s Bill Maher and them continuing to try to push his stupid show after hundreds of failed attempts.

    I don’t really have anything against a “you may like” function that DOESN’T insist on the same bullshit recommendation for over a decade of me rejecting it…

      I wouldn’t even credit them with that much thought. It’s far more likely that it’s simply “you watched late-night political comedy talk show, so here’s another late night political “comedy” talk show.”

            I don’t know bro… They are a lot of things bit calling them idiots is misguided since they are winning and we ate getting fucked.

            Sure there is stupidity around but here I would posit somebody plugging bills show to juice his numbers if what OP said is true ie it’s always this clown and it’s not a rotation

            Bill is classic regime whore for the owner class he the money and guilt

              It’s an HBO political-comedy talk show. As far as I know, that’s a category of 2. It doesn’t take a conspiracy to see how one would be constantly in the suggestions of the other.

                Is bill the only other practical option to shill here. I am not sure how their line looks but yeah if they got two horses then I see you point.

                  There’s nothing more true than Occam’s razor. And stupid is by definition simple.

                  Unfortunately, when you apply Occam’s razor along with the second law of thermodynamics to politics, you end up with the current mess.

            Wrong agenda. It doesn’t matter who on the political divide is right or wrong, the agenda is the ad money and continued viewership.

              That I agree with. I thought you were implying they wanted to push people towards a more right leaning show. I don’t think they care so long as you keep subscribing.
