Bill Maher on the the USA today
My word. I don't know who Bill Maher is, but I assume he's got something to do with Saturday Night Live or something: very little US television is this brave. "Fail to pay one mortgage and you're a deadbeat. Fail to pay a million mortgages and you're Bear Sterns and we all bail you out!"... (on the Pope visiting the US) "He also lives in a compound and many of his staff have been molesting children in their care!... the smart move was in having a billion followers rather than a few hundred!" Genius - of an acidity rarely seen in today's ultra-compliant US media.

Bill Maher is a political mainstay for many Americans. He started out on ABC, a major network, with a show called, "Politically Incorrect." It was cancelled, however, when he made comments criticizing American military policy in 2002.
His show is on HBO, a network you have to pay for and which is therefore not restricted to "family time" or a slave to ratings. That's why Maher switched to HBO in the first place.
He's a great commentator on American idiocy. Even if you can't see him over there, all of his shows are available for free as podcasts on itunes.
