MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle revealed herself to be a dues-paying member of Journalists Against Journalism on Friday’s episode of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher. During an argument with New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, Ruhle argued that demanding Harris do a serious interview was akin to asking for “Nirvana.”

That was not the only time Stephens and Ruhle tussled. Earlier, Stephens argued that Trump is the worst guy to make the case for toning down the rhetoric after the second assassination attempt against him. Nevertheless, Stephens thought he had a point, “Of course, he’s absolutely right that we probably should tone it down when we are calling our opponents the end of democracy, the end of western civilization. We're not helping our agreements.”
Maher disagreed, “That's a dumb argument, I think. What? No, that's their argument, which is 'you guys are saying Trump is a threat to democracy,' but he is a threat. The answer can't be that we can't say what's true. I want to say what's true and the left has to do that, too.”
