The Beat with Ari Melber

I am so happy that Ari Melber got his own show! I enjoyed when he was a guest on other MSNBC shows but now we get a whole hour! The Beat offers a unique perspective, because Ari Melber is an attorney and a legal consultant for MSNBC. I'm fascinated with the legalities--especially with this White House--and really appreciate his insights. He manages to take some of the emotion out of the news, which is refreshing and sometimes a great relief, and focus on the legal impact. Ari never loses his cool! In fact, he IS cool-- how many hosts can you really say that about? And he's really funny, too. (If you like Hip Hop and Rap, you really have to check him out. Just do it, you will see what I mean.) Great addition to the evening lineup, I watch it every night.

It's Ari's personality! Sincere, really wants to know the answers to his questions, lets guests finish their sentences, knows what he is talking about and how to examine the topic. REALLY like this host and the show!

I'm a long time Ari Melber regular. Recently however I've found that I can't get through his program. I am so sick of hearing about Trump's legal problems. If you watch this program on a regular basis you know all the key points. What I can't understand, is why Melber beats the same horse night after night when there's nothing really new to report. He needs to broaden his reporting on political issues. There's a lot more going on in the country that needs reporting and analysis. It seems to me that MSNBC is addicted to Mr Trump because the whole evening lineup has this same problem of fixation on our ex-president. One other complaint that I have is the predictable stable of 5-6 Talking Heads. For heaven's sake get some new faces Mr Melber, it would make your program a lot more interesting.

Imagine being locked into a room with a lawyer rattling off legal arguments with no emotion or in fact any human attributes at all - and you can't get out. That's Ari Melber's dinnertime show on MSNBC. Best not to have it on while you are eating dinner if you hope to digest your food.

It gets worse. Ari likes rap music or Hip Hop which is the only thing he shows any emotion for and he adeptly works it into his news coverage and interviews. A good example of this was a recent interview with Tom Hanks that was a complete disaster culminating in Ari playing rap lyrics to Hanks in an attempt to prove some sort of rap connection to Hanks? Say what?

Sorry counselor - you lost your case.

Love this show, especially the fall back at the end.
