Bill Maher: Media Stirs Up Fake Controversies To Keep You Perpetually Offended

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MAHER: "Not hard to find three people who are mad at anything. I could say “Good morning” on Twitter and three people would object. “Good in your privileged world, Bill Maher.” No wonder fake news resonates so much with trump fans, ‘cause so much of it is fake. Just nonsense made to keep you perpetually offended with an endless stream of controversies that aren’t controversial and outrageous that aren’t outrageous. Because places like the Huffington Post and BuzzFeed and Salon, they make their money about how many clicks they get. Yes, the people who see themselves as morally superior are actually ignoring their sacred job of informing citizens of what’s important and instead sowing division for their own selfishness ends. Hey, wait. Isn’t that what Russia was doing to us?"
