Renowned comedian and HBO host Bill Maher is stirring controversy once again with his new book, "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You," published on May 21 by Simon & Schuster. In this insightful and humorous work, Maher delves into what he perceives as America's societal pitfalls, from its culture wars to its political stalemate. A notable excerpt from Maher's book tackles the contentious issue of historical revisionism, particularly in how history is taught to younger generations. Maher criticizes both liberals and conservatives for their respective attempts to manipulate historical narratives for political gain. He warns against the dangers of rewriting history to fit contemporary moral standards, likening it to "fan fiction" rather than factual accounts. He makes fun of applying modern standards to figures like George Washington, suggesting that being "woke" is akin to a "magic moral time machine." One particularly striking statement from Maher addresses the tendency to congratulate oneself on moral superiority, such as having a gay friend. In his new book, Maher also talks about gay media click-baiting the headlines. Is it true? Is Queer news Tonight being blamed for it too? #Queer Up Gay Culture
