   Maher's anti-Muslim sentiments are what first made him unbearable to me, and that was back when I was still taking tiny baby steps on recognizing xenophobia...like, I was still very conservative, and even then I found Maher's bigotry offensive.

   I have a hard time giving him the time of day because of that.

     It can be worth interacting with media like that at least to have an awareness of how other groups of people are receiving and processing information.

     I have been finding the difference between the level of knowledge and discourse shared on Fedi and the level of knowledge even among my fairly well-educated friends "IRL" really jarring lately. It's not even "an echo chamber"—it's just confusing that others get their info and form their opinions in such different ways.
