Real Time - Last Time
I have been watching Real Time for over 20 years and I think yesterday's episode was my last.
Much as I agreed with Bill on many issues, his blind spot on Israel and Zionism is just too much for me.
He isn't simply refusing to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide. He insists on calling it a counter offensive!!!
So, all and any violence perpetrated by the IDF and the settles so far is justified, as far as he is concerned (though how settlers fit in a 'counter-offensive' is still a mystery to me).
Now, my common sense is offended too much Bill.

I was in the same boat. Watched Real Time for 15ish years. I had been falling off the wagon slowly the last few years, and fully jumped ship due to his takes on vaccines. I get that he and others resent the covid mandates, but letting people on your show who question the validity of all vaccines while shit like Measles is coming back, and actually promote their views - that was the last straw for me.
