I'd say lean FF, due to his stances on thinks like political correctness, but I'd like to hear what you guys have to say about him

I agree, I like how he's  standing up to cancel culture/political correctness, but he's still mixed overall.

Masive HP. Annoying Zionist hack who thinks that "woke-ism" in the Democratic party is a bigger problem than the neoliberalism in both parties.

I have become a regular viewer of his monologues on YouTube.

Ten years ago I would have seen him as terrible but in this modern age there is just something so damn refreshing about someone who is willing to take heat from both sides for calling out their crap and yet still not be a moderate hero that stands for absolutely nothing.

I find it hilarious that writers in the Trump world are talking about him becoming a conservative because he attacks the woke left, but lacking any self awareness ignore the blistering cannonade he fires at the right over Trump, the environment, abortion or the pandemic.

One of the most punchable people in the hosting business. Even on issues where I'm in agreement with him he always presents them in the most condescending way possible.

He's an asshole, but he's also 10x better than the nightly "comedians" we have today (who basically just repeat the same jokes, and The Daily Show has become more of a lecture than a comedy show.)

Soft HP. I thought he was best during the Bush years. And he criticized Obama from the left a lot of the time. Voted "Mixed".

I wonder if he clashed with John Oliver or CNN the latter expected given AT&T and warner media own both HBO and CNN

Not Voting FF on an athiest, but he's a decent comedian and I appreciate when he stands up to political correctness and voices disagreement with some of critical race theory

Symbolic of everything wrong with the online Millennial (even though he isn’t a millennial himself) left that dominates this forum.

He's not really against "political correctness," he's just an idiot. If he really is better than other late night personalities as some here are saying, that just goes to show what a waste of time late night as a genre is/has become.

Definite HP. I think he/his producer is5 more cunning and exploitative than people realise.

Given that that movie promotes thoroughly debunked lies about the origins of Christianity, I would suggest you take it off.

Okay.   

But if I were to ever watch it, I would keep in mind that Bill Maher is first and foremost a comedian.  Not a scholar.

I'd say mixed although he is more honest and straightforward than most late night comedians

Smug face doesn't make me want to watch.  He might be intelligent but "too intelligent" for my tastes.  That kind of personality plays well on HBO with a liberal late-night audience, but let's just say Joe Schmo in Erie County, Pennsylvania is more interested in watching "Family Guy" if he wants comedy with a lefty lean to it.

Sure he knows when PC goes too far, but he’s still a partisan hack.

Better than other late night types, which isn’t a high bar, but still.

His show is not great, and he is rather intolerant on religion (in the same way as Dule), but he is an important voice.
