Bill Maher: MSNBC 'turning into Fox News'

Bill Maher believes the Chris Christie-obsessed MSNBC is turning into Fox News, and he's ready for a break-up.

"Look at yourself. You're turning into Fox News," the HBO late-night host wrote on his blog Friday. "Bridgegate has become your Benghazi, and this isn't easy to say, but you and I are no longer on the same news cycle. Sure, you read me the results of a recent Gallup poll, but you never really ask me how I'm feeling. It's not you, it's... Chris Christie."

"You've stopped leaning forward," Maher continued. "Look, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little lanes of traffic don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. You're a young news channel. You'll meet other viewers. It's for the best. You can focus on your career. And we can still be friends. We'll always have Obamacare."

In MSNBC's defense, their coverage of Christie has decreased compared to the epic high in January, save of course for people like Rachel Maddow whose obsession with Christie began well before Bridgegate. But when Bill Maher is breaking up with you, you may need to rethink some things.
