Seth MacFarlane to Maher: You’re Doing “Exactly What Trump Wants” By Not Trusting The Reporters, Journalists

MACFARLANE: There’s this thing we take for granted now, the journalist who did the work, gets to have their piece put on the same shelf as everyone else’s spur of the moment to bullshit.

MAHER: You seem to trust journalists more than I do.

MACFARLANE: I trust certain journalists, yeah.

MAHER: I do, certain ones I do, not a lot.

MACFARLANE: Not a lot?

MAHER: No, and everything I read, whatever source, it’s only half the truth, they print the narrative, they don’t print truth.

MACFARLANE: That’s a generalization though.

MAHER: Well, it is but, because it’s generally true. They print the side of the story –

MACFARLANE: By the way, that’s exactly what Donald Trump wants. What you just said is exactly what he wants.

MAHER: It doesn’t matter.

MACFARLANE: Don’t trust the reporters, don’t trust the journalists.

MAHER: Okay, well, Hitler was a vegetarian, doesn’t mean I like Donald Trump. They print the half that they want that is going to make people like you who are a partisan, very partisan, you want to read something that — that makes me feel good.
