Why was Politically Incorrect canceled?

American comedian Bill Maher’s talk-show Politically Incorrect (1993–2002) was canceled in 2002 after he made controversial remarks the previous year implying that the terrorists responsible for the September 11 attacks showed more personal bravery than U.S. forces who launched cruise missiles during the fighting in the Afghanistan War. The remarks proved highly controversial and eventually led to the cancellation of the show.
