Rage against Covid-19 lockdowns and vaccine mandates accelerated Ron DeSantis’ rise to the top of the Republican Party. It was supposed to be a key part of the governor’s plan to outflank Donald Trump in the 2024 primary.
But here’s the problem: Republican voters, at this point, largely just don’t care — at least not when they’re picking a candidate.
Six different Republican operatives, campaign officials, and pollsters described or shared with Rolling Stone internal data and surveys they’d conducted or reviewed last and this year. Some of these sources are Trump-aligned,...

A glimpse of stocking was once deemed shocking. But today, heaven knows…there are still limits on what you can say on certain broadcast outlets.
Bill Maher found that out the hard way.
Maher recently joined CNN with the segment Overtime, which uses the guests from his HBO show Real Time in an extended conversation.
The host was speaking with Kristen Soltis Anderson about Sarah Huckabee Sanders. The topic was “nepo babies,” the children of famous parents who got a leg up thanks to that association.
Maher expressed outrage that there was a perceived advantage. He said acting was not “f***ing hard,” before laughing and apologizing to CNN.
“Sorry, CNN. I know. I forgot. You’re not supposed to – Not on HBO.”
Despite CNN and HBO being part of the same company, there are different broadcast standards. You can say the “F-word” on HBO, a pay cable network. But...

Holidays were much on the mind of Real Time host Bill Maher on Friday. He talked about the Super Bowl, Election Day, and Valentine’s Day during the course of the show, starting right at the top by acknowledging this weekend’s big game.
“The game is in Arizona, so don’t be shocked if Republicans don’t accept the results,” he quipped, adding, “The game is on Fox, with aerial coverage by China.”
Maher quickly shifted back into his wheelhouse of politics, noting this weeks’s State of the Union address. “The state of our union is uncivil,” he claimed. “Republicans acted like it was a bachelorette party at a comedy club.”
Maher’s panel discussion with Kristen Soltis Anderson, pollster and host of SiriusXM’s “The Trendline with Kristen Soltis Anderson,” and Democratic strategist and CNN political contributor Paul Begala dove into the question of who will be...

The Walt Disney Co. and CEO Bob Chapek are under fire for their perceived slow reaction to the “Don’t Say Gay” bill that recently passed the Florida Senate. It now heads to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is likely to sign it into law.
The fallout from that legislation touched Hollywood this week, as Disney employees lashed out at the company’s initial hesitation to get involved.
We live in a world where corporations now have to take sides, Bill Maher noted during his Real Time conversation Friday night on HBO. He posed the question about whether inserting themselves into politics and social issues is a good thing to panelists Kristen Soltis Anderson, the pollster and founding partner at Echelon Insights, and Max Brooks, the author of World War Z and a senior resident dellow at the Atlantic Council, a nonresident fellow at the Modern War Institute at West Point,...

A day after The Daily Beast reported MSNBC almost brought back ex-host Keith Olbermann to replace Rachel Maddow, Olbermann has weighed in, filling in more details — from his perspective — about the matter, including his reported conflict with Rachel Maddow.
Among other things, Olbermann conceded he may have started that conflict with Maddow by his actions in 2011. He also specifically accused ex-NBC News boss Andy Lack of plotting to fire Lawrence O’Donnell and give O’Donnell’s show to Olbermann nearly a year before that whole thing became public drama.
You can read the Daily Beast’s story here, but the upshot: According to their reporting, MSNBC wanted to bring Olbermann back to host a show in the time slot currently occupied by “The Rachel Maddow Show.” According to Db, Maddow, who is of course pivoting to a new role at the network starting later this year, personally vetoed a potential Olbermann deal.

Keith Olbermann must be The Worst Person in the World this week to anyone who works for MSNBC or NBC News.
The longtime sports and news personality spent Thursday afternoon producing an epic 21-post Twitter rant telling of a convoluted effort to return to MSNBC, where he once served as the linchpin of its primetime lineup. Over the course of 11 years and emails and comments sent between an array of senior NBCUniversal executives that run the gamut — from former NBCU News Group chief Pat Fili-Krushel and former NBC News Chairman Andy Lack to current NBCU CEO Jeff Shell — Olbermann alleges he was kept on tenterhooks about a return to the cable network where he had once enjoyed one of his most successful career stints.
“That’s 11 years of conversations about my returning to @msnbc,” he said on Twitter. “Won’t happen. Should’ve.”
MSNBC disputes his accounts. “There was never...

Bill Maher was no fan of the Supreme Court's ruling this week that threw out Article 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, saying that the decision enables disenfranchisement of minorities at the polls.
"These Supreme Court dudes, they don't live in the real world. They don't know how much the country has changed," Maher said of Chief Justice John Roberts' declaration that the country had changed enough to eliminate the law.
He had a spirited debate with his panel, which included Kristen Soltis, Horace Cooper and Dan Neil about whether the ruling was a truly fair and accurate reflection of the modern state of race in America.
Maher opined that the decision was a reflection of "racism 2.0," a much more subtle way to prevent progress than openly using racial slurs or expressing racism.

A report released by the College Republican National Committee found that the Gop lost young voters because many young people view the Republican party as "closed-minded, racist, rigid, [and] old-fashioned." Bill O'Reilly brought on Crnc Chairwoman Alex Smith and research analyst Kristen Soltis, who helped write the Crnc report, to explain their findings. O'Reilly questioned the reasons young people don't like the Gop, and wondered why the Republicans should even bother listening to "a bunch of kids who don't know anything."...
