(Daily Caller) Comedian and podcast host Bill Maher called out The New York Times (NYT) for having biased coverage during an episode of “Club Random” released Sunday.
Maher told actor Martin Short he doesn’t watch cable news anymore but rather reads newspapers and independent journalists, before taking a swipe at NYT. “It’s just not the paper it was when I was a kid, and it’s annoying in a zillion different ways,” Maher said.
“They write stupid things today,” Maher said, describing how NYT has changed since the ’90s. “It’s a completely different generation that has a completely different idea about journalism. And the opinion page is every page. That is a fundamental difference, I did not change, Mr. Short, they changed. The front page used to be just the news. Just give me the facts, the headlines, today, it was something like ‘Trump’s victory, something the nation’s psyche.’”
