Ahh I see thanks for the info - I’m not from the US so I’ve not come across those shows. They sound awful. Are they as full of right wing apologist talking points as they sound ?
I’ve seen snippets of Politically Incorrect from the 90s, as there were a few guests I was interested in. It seemed to be just another talk show, not right wing apologist at all. I’m chiming in just so you get an idea of the long career on air this man has, he’s been decades on tv.
Whatever he’s said recently that may have caused a reaction, I’m also out of the loop. I’m also not from the US.
I’m also not from the US but I’ve been watching Real Time for many years and I think it’s a great show. He’s an outspoken democrat (at least since the Trump era).
And while he does invite on republicans and right-wing guests, he’s usually quite critical when interviewing them.
But I guess just talking to people makes you an “apologist” in the eyes of some people.
Don’t get me wrong, he has my respect for grilling so many right wingers. But he gave a deliberate platform to anti-trans talking points. No pushback provided. And I really hate him for that. He has since gotten much more right-wing in his New Rules. I felt like I was being scolded for being a leftist and enjoying the show. By the show’s host.
