Bill Maher is not losing ratings to John Oliver as they do not compete in the same time slot (Friday 10PM vs. Sunday 11PM). John Oliver is out-rating Bill Maher which is different, but they are both amongst the highest rated programs HBO so I'm sure HBO is wholly indifferent, especially since HBO doesn't reallty care about ratings to begin with (subscribers, not viewers, are the key). If you've ever watched Real Time this hardly rates as controversial or anything, and it's only big here because of Affleck's over the top reaction.
