Please don’t shut down Bill’s Trump jokes😢😢
What is sad after 9 years and the news is still broken. The news to me is just propaganda for what political party they are associated with.
I miss when there was so little news that we had bullshit stories like these.
Now there’s so much news that even the late shows report the news.
“Coming to you live, from the snow blower aisle at Home Depot”- hahaha😂
This aged well. Lester Holt has definitely been better than Brian Williams
8 years ago: "Here in LA bad weather is partly sunny."
Now: "Here in LA bad weather is a blizzard with 2 feet of snow or 20 inches of rain in half an hour".
Bill, think its time for a New Rule on climate change.
You got 40 minutes to bring us the world..
Stories that don't matter.. is what they bring us..
I wonder what gender cares more about soldiers coming home to surprise their kids as a news story? 🤔🤔
We in western NYS also don't want to hear about YOUR weather. Suck up the drought largely caused by too many people living in a desert, ration your water like adults, and don't even THINK of draining the Great Lakes to feed your addiction to green lawns in Death Valley (fortunately, Canada will bomb you before that happens).
Once upon a time, long ago in the last millennium, there actually was ANALYSIS on network news. You know–deep digging into the CAUSES of "if-it-bleeds-it-leads" events, succinctly reported as objective factual statements in complex sentences rather than a series of cheap interviews about a splashy event asking people how they feel. WHO CARES how they feel?! EVERYONE feels upset at shootings, wars, climate events, plane crashes. What people need to know is WHY they happen, WHO is responsible, What PATTERNS they represent, HOW to address dealing with them. Ah, but that takes time, seasoned reporters situated in locations and educated in subjects like other cultures and science, and, you know, people who have actually read legal documents. Not flashy, fun, or feel-good. But necessary to educate and motivate and unite people in a democracy. But all of that was long, long ago.
"It shouldn't be a race to the bottom over who can attract more eyeballs with titillation. If it is let's just get it over with and show porn in the last segment." 😂😂 True 1:19
Watch pbs or npr
I agree with you. News on tv sucks. I just want facts, no opinions, no fluff stories
Brain apologized and faced the consequences and bounced back. Take a page from his book. I like him. I respect him.
And…????
Is a lying brat worth the western world's democracy? People died for it and the young generations need it just like you needed. It was handed to you on silver, now pay it forward to the young generations.
Here here….you have been warning us all along.
You rule !!
I been saying the news was a joke for years. Thanks. Bill
That was refreshing.
I think it is a shame that ABC stuck with David Muir instead of moving on to Tom Llamas.
Why was Bill Maher blaming the news anchor and not the editor? Does the anchor select the news stories for broadcast in the USA?
Fake climate change, here we go…
Man I miss when this guy was funny
This aged well
Be careful what you wish for I’m sure we all wish the news went back to the way it was
"I want you to open your window, Bill, and yell, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" ~ Something about Networking
right on point Bill, we have the worst media news outlets in the history of journalism, they are so biased it's disgusting and now border on straight propaganda, and it is a lot like Germany in the 1930's when Hitler was beginning his rein of power, they are the enemy to all of us by not reporting facts and fair and balanced reporting
An old veteran who is blind but still drives the school bus. LMFAO. That vet is a Marine.
An old black veteran who is blind but still drives the school bus.
A brilliant joke. Well constructed, unexpected. Good writing.
Love u, Bill Maher!
network news, the time between commercials for drugs you don't need
Talks trash about him. Watches his news only at 2019
Back when Bill Maher was good!
I hate Brian Williams. He is stinking up MSNBC. My favorite channel. Can his ass. I trust Chris Matthews. He should be the ring leader.
I say we evoke a three day rule on responding to the news regardless of what network you watch. I was so proud of the victims that were so gracious to actually let the President visit with them that I posted on how proud I was of them for being decent to a person who didn't deserve their decency and NOW I find out they didn't! (which is still ok) The one ones still laying there shot up and in pain, rerunning the the horrors of their experience every second of the day were victimized again by those trying to get the story out FIRST and the President toting his "rock star" welcome. Yesterday I was shouting to the rafters how I WOULD never have allowed him in my freaking room! Then I thought how much better human beings they were than me because they allowed him to visit. Now I find that is all B.S! The Victims that had been released came back to met with him (if even this is true), but not the people still in the hospital recovering from their physical wounds.(who could blame them) Now I am still proud of them for NOT allowing him to stand on their suffering for political gain, just as I would have, but now I am outraged at the Media for getting it wrong, AGAIN, and still outraged at the president (deliberately in lower caps). SMH How about something novel for a change. The TRUTH and FACTS. Get it right the FIRST time. I am ashamed of myself.
Brian williams is a lotbetter than fux news.
Damn right about the news bill pffft
Obviously the usual mix of dumb comments in response to this segment. Bill’s long-standing critique of the news is that it’s not serious enough + overly focused on infotainment/pandering/ratings/profits vs informing the American public about important issues.
The fact that the media reports mostly accurate, damaging stories about Trump & his sidekicks that they don’t like and call Fake News is not the problem. They’re still doing too many human interest stories + not enough on global issues is BM’s point.
Fact that the Prez and his Cabinet are totally incompetent/ignorant is very relevant and important for public to know. But overloading the news cycle every time a snowstorm comes around is not.
Hope that clarifies.
Compare Swedish public service news broadcasts with the American commercial ones and see which one is better.
All criminal liberal media outfits that can’t tell the truth if it would kill you
To me the all time best news Anchor (I was a kid), Walter Cronkite. Second, Tom Brokaw.
Wow, so this turd was calling it fake news before Trump was lol! Now he bashes the president for it.
If an item has gone viral then everybody that gives a shit has already seen it.
my mother used to say that was so bad of news media to show overweight ppl that way.
