Bill Maher, Andrew Sullivan pan newsrooms for caving to 'woke' mobs: 'They don't have the b---s to say no'

“Real Time” host Bill Maher and “The Weekly Dish” Substack writer Andrew Sullivan torched the inability of newsroom editors to stand up against the “woke” mobs.

"It's a complicated thing because actually I was fired. I was given four days' notice. I was nominated for a Pulitzer one year. The next year, fired," Sullivan responded. "Not for anything I wrote but because I wasn't going to go along with their woke agenda.  "Liberal institutions … don't have the b---s to say no! 'We do believe in the plurality of views, we are going to defend unpopular writers.' Free speech means nothing!"  "America … will not survive if we're constantly in warfare between groups or genders." "Do you think the Chinese are less racist than we are? Do you think the Russians are? It's a miracle what we do in this country!"  "They knew that. … I don't why it's so terrible to have someone in a magazine or in a complete mix of things, to have someone -- a dissenter in a magazine. It's fun, right? I mean, that's the whole point! I grew up wanting to debate, wanting to argue. … What was the problem? Afterward, we got together, we'd have a nice drink, we're totally cool about it!" "And it's not like you're very conservative!" Maher chuckled.
