Bill Maher Challenges Murphy's '60 Minutes' Censorship Claim, Says 1 Show Hasn't Turned MAGA

Summary
Bill Maher used Friday's "Real Time" to reject Sen. Chris Murphy's claim that Trump-era pressure has compromised CBS and "60 Minutes," saying he has seen no clear evidence the newsmagazine changed.
Murphy argued viewers cannot see stories that may have been killed, alleging Trump is using regulatory power and friendly ownership to pressure major media companies into softer coverage.
Maher said he watches "60 Minutes" every week and still sees segments critical of Trump, adding that ownership changes and staff turnover do not by themselves prove political interference.
Susan Rice backed Murphy's broader concern, while Maher drew a narrower line: Trump threatens press freedom generally, he said, but the case against "60 Minutes" remains unproven.
