Matt Taibbi vs Bill Maher
We go behind the scenes of Matt's appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher last week
Bill gave Matt a list of questions before the show. Then, live on air, he hit him with everything else.
Today, Matt rehashes the debate and says everything Bill wouldn’t let him say.
With the help of our time-traveling friends at the Vanguard, it’s “Redux Time with Matt and Katie.” The debate: Russiagate. Bill believes it all. Matt calls BS. Everyone’s coming out firing.
This debate leads into another fight: Aaron Maté’s debate with Michael Isikoff on Russiagate and Assanggge.
It’s a fiery episode that comes with a warning: you might get caught in the crossfire. So pick your side: Taibbi or Maher. It’s a showdown.

Matt Taibbi vs Bill Maher
Bill Maher has devolved into a moronic loud mouth. I had some respect for him years ago but now he’s just a little bully who is unable to have an actual debate. Ugh. I was sickened watching Maher sucker punch Matt with the shit lib Russia hoax. I had stopped watching Maher’s show but tuned in to see my hero Matt. Needless to say, “Real” time is never appearing on my television again. Sorry you experienced his toxic nonsense, Matt.
Matt thought he didn't do well against Maher (Matt's words). I think he did quite well under the circumstances. This is particularly true after reading above that Matt was given a list of questions and then asked other things live.
Bonus point awarded to Matt for not calling Maher an idiot when Maher made the non sequitur, "9/11 didn't cost much either" and Bonus point taken away for not calling Maher out on that non sequitur. First: comparing a terrorist attack to buying Facebook ads is insulting to the people who lost their lives on and after 9/11 and second: 9/11 was a years- possibly decades-long plan to indoctrinate and vet a large group of potential suicide bombers who could learn to fly planes, get them to the US, integrated enough not to be arrested, trained in flying planes, etc., etc. We're talking millions of dollars over decades to kill hundreds of thousands (we have to include Afghans and Iraqis in a true accounting of 9/11) compared to $50k in Facebook ads (pre-election) and zero deaths.
