Bill Maher's audience goes quiet as he shills for Israel and lectures them about "anti-Semitism." It gets so awkward that he literally has to beg them to laugh.

🚨 NEW: Hawaii has passed legislation completely banning corporate spending in politics. The bill is the first of it’s kind, and deliberately designed to avoid the issues raised by Citizens United.

Israeli strikes on Gaza City on May 15 killed at least seven Palestinians, including three children, and wounded more than 50 others, including 20 children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. “Every day we die, and no one feels our pain. By God, all those who failed us will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment,” a witness screams.

The NY Times published its piece insinuating that Graham Platner's $200,000 home makes him an oligarch on literally the same day Sen. Susan Collins' new financial disclosure shows she is worth literally millions of dollars. It's a reminder that there's no such thing as "objectivity" - a news outlet's story selection is a sign of its subjective viewpoint and its goals. Of course, all candidates deserve scrutiny — but the point here is that what corporate news outlets decide to cover and not cover is a subjective and often ideological decision, even if they then write the stories in the language of objectivity. Everyone should stop pretending “objectivity” is a thing. It’s not. Fairness and accuracy is — but the moment decisions are made that something is news (say, Platner’s modest house) and something isn’t news (say, Collins’ massive wealth), there is inherently no objectivity. It would be better for outlets just to be more honest and admit what their goals, values and viewpoints really are.
