Liberal comedian Bill Maher and British comedy legend John Cleese took turns knocking The New York Times for no longer being the "great newspaper" it once was.

“The kids haven’t read anything longer than a TikTok,” Maher swatted the younger generation. “They know everything by way of buzzwords. They learn these words like ‘colonizer.’ They don’t know what ‘colonizer’ - as if Israel colonized that place, which is, of course, where the Jews are from. Jerusalem. Hello! The Bible, you know, the one where Jesus was born a Christian,” he joked.
