## Summary

Comedian Bill Maher criticised BuzzFeed and HuffPost as "peak woke" during a conversation with Byron Allen, the media mogul who became CEO of both outlets in May, on Maher's "Club Random" podcast. Maher made the remarks directly to Allen, describing the publications' staff as indoctrinated "nepo babies," a pointed critique aimed at the new owner of two prominent digital media brands.

According to the report, Maher characterised journalists at the outlets as snarky millennials who had been shaped by an overly ideological worldview. Allen took over as CEO of BuzzFeed and HuffPost in May 2026, and the exchange formed part of a wider discussion on Maher's podcast about the state of modern media.
