HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher noted, along with many others, that the lack of violence was likely a huge letdown for those on the left. However, Maher appears to have missed the whole reason why this is a disappointment for the media. On Friday’s broadcast, Maher had a conversation with former Fox News and NBC host, Megyn Kelly about media bias.
Kelly brought up the fact that the majority of mainstream news outlets are biased in favor of the left. Maher responded by opining that the press is actually biased towards “money and conflict.” He pointed out that they prefer these two elements “because that’s what sells.” He said:
“You know what the media is biased toward? Money. They’re biased toward money and conflict because that’s what sells. I was watching the Virginia rally this week. There was a gun rally. It was peaceful. And you could see how disappointed the media was that the civil war didn’t break out.”
