В 2001 Билла Мара уволили из ABC, где он вел передачу "Politically Incorrect", за неосторожное высказывание в эфире. В то время с политической корректностью боролись не только полные мудаки.
Интересно, что собеседником Мара на роковой для него передаче был Dinesh D'Souza, с тех пор осужденный за мошенничество на выборах и недавно помилованный Трампом.
What Mr. Maher actually said was not that different from the comments of his guest that evening, Dinesh D'Souza, a conservative from the American Enterprise Institute, who quarreled with President Bush's characterization of the terrorists as cowards. ''Not true,'' Mr. D'Souza said, according to a transcript. ''Look at what they did. You have a whole bunch of guys who were willing to give their life; none of them backed out. All of them slammed themselves into pieces of concrete. These are warriors.'' Mr. Maher replied: ''We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly.'' https://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/29/arts/think-tank-in-new-war-on-terrorism-words-are-weapons-too.html
