Bill Maher slams “woke” BuzzFeed and HuffPo straight to their owner’s face on his podcast.
Speaking to Byron Allen on Club Random, Maher complained that the outlets are “horrible” to him and said that Huffington Post in particular came down on him hard “for years.”
Watch:
“I bought BuzzFeed. Buzzfeed is a publicly traded company, and I ended up making an investment in it. Buzzfeed, HuffPost and Tasty,” Allen explained.
“All these places have been horrible to me,” Maher said.
“Have they really?” Allen asked, shocked.
“Oh, I certainly know Huffington Post has. Oh, once Ariana [Huffington] left and it became like the most woke, ridiculous- Oh my God,” Maher responded.
“What did they say about you? I don’t even know,” Allen wondered.
“Do you own it?” the host asked.
“Yeah, now I own it … I control 50, it’s publicly traded, I control 52%,” Allen said.
“Someone’s f**ked now,” the pair laughed.
Maher continued on to explain that he disliked the outlets because he feels they demand “purity” out of everyone on the left, lest they be compared to Republicans.
“They were peak woke,” he said of HuffPo.
“Yeah? And they came down on you pretty hard?” Allen pressed.
“Oh, for years,” Maher said. “That’s what I hate about the left. The purity. And that’s what HuffPost- I’m worse than Republicans because I’m not pure, and a lot of what they believe, of course, is silly and insane revolutionary garbage from people who don’t know facts, or history, or perspective, but that’s OK. I don’t have grudges against — I don’t even read it.”
“All these places are a bunch of snarky, f**king millennial, probably nepo babies. I mean, I just know how these kids who have these jobs, how much they were indoctrinated before they got there. They are not America.”
Allen purchased BuzzFeed and HuffPo in a deal that closed on May 27. At the time, Allen issued a statement praising the “two iconic global digital media brands” and proclaiming plans for expansion.
“Jonah [Peretti] is a great visionary and has done a phenomenal job. BuzzFeed and HuffPost have become two iconic global digital media brands with powerful audience reach and strong cultural importance. Our vision is to build on the iconic foundation of BuzzFeed and HuffPost by expanding into free-streaming video, audio and user-generated content. As of this moment, with the power of AI, BuzzFeed is officially chasing YouTube to become another premier free-streaming video service,” he said.
