I have been following and been distressed by the Rushdie story since it happened. But I’m not sure I see the most important implications being how it affects either Bill Maher or Piers Morgan.
Also not sure “Manic” is the worst thing about either of these two, or that they avoided being dicks even when discussing this terrible attack. A more interesting (though perhaps less TV) sidebar for my money is how an AP reporter happened to be on the relatively remote spot to cover the story as it happened: https://apnews.com/article/ab1279dee889ddcded34e76b7ff345fd On Sat, Aug 13, 2022 at 7:07 AM 'Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV < [email protected]> wrote: > Bill's good friend, writer Salman Rushdie, long pursued by the Iranian > mullahs for blasphemy, was punched and stabbed by an attacker prior to a > discussion Friday in Chautauqua, NY (closer to Erie, PA than to Buffalo)... > reports say he is still on a ventilator and may lose an eye...
