I still enjoy his show. I don't agree with all of his positions, but I find his discussions to be interesting, even if he or his guests make me angry. 
I am frustrated that so many people have put themselves in a media cage, and don't listen to anything they don't already agree with. 
I want the media to challenge me, and to offer opposing viewpoints.  I want to hear what the fringes of both sides have to say, if for no other reason than it serves the same purpose as spy intelligence, to let me know what is going on behind enemy lines.

Marti, I am glad you get pleasure from the show. I do not. The problem is not being exposed to ideas I disagree with, I enjoy and seek that out. Indeed I find Maher most difficult to stomach when he or a guest express conclusions I agree with but supports them with an argument that is reprehensible or incoherent. Also, he brings an unpleasant snide and condescending tone to everything he discusses. I have seen his stand up in comedy clubs and don’t find it funny.

I appreciate your courteous response, and value your opinion. I am grateful to live in an era where many programing options are available. 

It concerns me how few people are willing to be exposed to ideas they disagree with.  I am glad you are.

It is also discouraging how so many choose to oversimplify issues as Right/Left, Good/Evil, Christian/Everything else is the work of the devil.  Hardly anything in life is black and white, but so few are wiling to even listen to, much less consider, anything that fall outside of their narrow viewpoint.
