Just found out that the editor in chief of The New Yorker, David Remnick, and Bill Maher are childhood friends. It is stated that “He attended Yavneh Academy in Paramus.[6] Remnick was also a childhood friend of comedian Bill Maher.[7]”
We all know that editor have the power to alter articles to fit their direction.
Do you guys think the hit piece on Hasan Minhaj was orchestrated by Bill Maher’s team. I know he and Hasan already had beef due to criticism Hasan made about Bill regarding his takes on Muslim issues. And Bill probably does not want him as the host of the Daily Show or as competition. Ever since John left, Bill’s show over took the market and now Hasan would have presented a serious threat.
No, and this is a crazy conspiracy theory.
Clare Malone explained on the podcast Infamous that she started doing some investigating because she caught wind of some discrepancies due to the trail of the storytelling. For instance, brother Eric’s infiltration of mosques took place in 2006.
In addition, Maher has never been threatened by the Daily Show. It has an even smaller audience than it did in the Jon Stewart days, and he coexisted with the Stewart and Noah eras. This thread is just crazy thinking.
