On 'Real Time,' host Bill Maher added that he feels "both generations are giving away their flaws" with the older generation being "too open" and the younger being "too sensitive."
Sure but because of the backlash, not the principle.
He only cancelled the shows because doing them would hurt his career more than not doing them. There was no solidarity with the actual people who do the work of putting him on the air; he was fully willing to do the show and break the picket line before before he realized the strike was ending soon enough anyway.
He's just another "fuck you, I got mine" reactionary.
I thought he backed out of the scabbing?
