Sadly, more and more these days the majority of middle class, university educated Americans rely heavily on the likes of Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert and John Stewart for their world view. Cue the laugh tracks…

Bill Maher is taken apart by Glenn Greenwald for trying to absolve the US from any responsibility for the mass slaughter and destruction in Muslim countries, blaming it on Islamic fundamentalism, as if the Afghanistan and Iraq wars never happened, as if the US wasn’t pushing for more war in Iran, as if it isn’t intervening in Somalia and Yemen.
