Bill Maher continues to be adverse to #MeToo by failing to ask Neil deGrasse Tyson about sexual misconduct allegations

The Daily Beast

"What Maher failed to do was even remotely probe the disturbing allegations against Tyson—something that most interviewers of Tyson have failed to properly reckon with during his recent book tour," says Marlow Stern, pointing out that the Real Time host has in the past branded the #MeToo movement as "scary." "What’s frustrating about Maher’s attitude toward #MeToo is that he appears to consistently downplay allegations of inappropriate touching or attempted sexual assault levied against certain men of power (usually Democrats), while regularly railing against those said to have been committed by President Trump, who’s been accused of varying acts of sexual misconduct by over 22 women," says Stern. "While the attitude shouldn’t be to 'automatically believe' women, it shouldn’t take nearly two-dozen accusers—or hating the man’s politics—to either."
