‘It’s Propaganda All the Time!’ Bill Maher Guest Trashes MSNBC With Truth

During Friday's episode of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, sparks flew between Ari Melber and Andrew Sullivan as they engaged in a heated exchange over political divisions in America.

The clash began when Sullivan argued that the Democratic Party's shift towards the left in response to Donald Trump has contributed to the erosion of the system's legitimacy.

Melber, an MSNBC host, interjected by accusing Sullivan of being "both sides-y" in his analysis. However, instead of directly addressing Melber's points, Sullivan turned the tables on him, suggesting that MSNBC should consider presenting a balanced perspective and constructively criticize both sides of the political spectrum.

Sullivan boldly claimed, "It's propaganda all the time!" This accusation caught Melber off guard, prompting him to remind Sullivan of the numerous times he had hosted Trump officials and allies on his show, The Beat.

In an attempt to defend his position, Melber pointed out, "What you just said described my show. I had Trump's lawyer on this week. I've had Steve Bannon on my show. I've had Trump White House officials." This response highlighted the diversity of perspectives and voices featured on his program.
