Politically Incorrect

Politically Incorrect is an American late-night, half-hour political talk show hosted by Bill Maher that aired from 1993 to 2002. It premiered on Comedy Central in 1993, moved to ABC in January 1997, and was canceled in 2002.

The show first originated from New York City, but soon moved to Los Angeles to make it easier to get "stars" as guests. The New York episodes were shot at the CBS Broadcast Center and the Los Angeles episodes at CBS Television City, where it remained even after its move to ABC.

The first episode featured comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Howard Stern co-host Robin Quivers, Republican Party strategist Ed Rollins, and comedian Larry Miller. Frequent guests included Dave Matthews, Arianna Huffington, Michael McKean, Ann Coulter, Carrot Top, and Christine O'Donnell.

Politically Incorrect (blog)

Politically Incorrect (commonly abbreviated PI) is a mainly German-language Counter-jihad political blog which focuses on topics related to immigration, multiculturalism and Islam in Germany and Western societies. A condensed version of the weblog is available in English. The blog's self-declared goal is to bring news to a wider public attention which it perceives to be ignored or suppressed in the mainstream media due to a pervading "leftist political correctness." It describes itself as pro-American, pro- Israel, in support of fundamental rights and human rights and opposed to the " Islamisation of Europe".

Politically Incorrect is one of the most popular German political blogs in terms of readership. It has been widely criticized by the German media for creating fear of Islam, while it enjoys some support in the conservative press opposed to Islamism. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungsschutz) has consistently placed the blog within the Islam-critical spectrum, assessing its activities as protected by the freedom of speech. The blog's local news bureau in Bavaria, though, is monitored by the Verfassungsschutz of this state.
