In a few minutes from now Mediaite, your source for all the latest Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, Stephen A Smith, Charlemagne Tha God, and The View news, will report that Maher has announced that he won’t be resuming production of his show because “both sides have agreed to go back to the negotiating table I’m going to delay the return of Real Time, for now, and hope they can finally get this done,” as if the news has any importance outside of the tiny universe of people who think Maher isn’t an insufferable self-cocksucker and actually enjoy watching his Friday night show on HBO.
And the slightly larger universe of people who admit Maher is insufferable self-cocksucker but still watch his show for various reasons. The story will gather no more than 80 to 120 comments from Disqus users before they move on to the next article, a great majority of them mocking the site for covering Maher’s reversal as if it were important and/or calling Maher a smug douchebag.
