That makes sense if you think that Taibbi objects to anyone having a point of view. But if Taibbi sees a problem with the media propensity to stir shit to get people agitated and watching, then Maher looks more like part of the problem.

In this characteristically turbocharged new book, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider’s guide to the variety of ways today’s mainstream media tells us lies. Part tirade, part confessional, it reveals that what most people think of as “the news” is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.

"A twisted wing of the entertainment business?" Isn't that Maher's middle name?
You like Maher because you agree with him.
