The Beat with Ari Melber

Your show is consistently stimulating and your opinions are well founded. Much appreciated.

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.

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 especially appreciate Ari's legal analysis and related guests. His delivery of facts requires no hype. Too many of our citizens are not aware of the serious abuses that are undermining our Justice branch of government or are aware of those champions who are risking their personal wellbeing to bring accountability to our political criminals.

However, Ari's substitutes are putting on a squeaky, loud yelling show that I cannot abide. Emotional, extremist type hype is an inappropriate delivery method of legal news and information. I resent Jason Johnson yelling at me in my own living room.

I expect the MAGA party is doing everything possible to shut Ari's show off.

He sucks as a newscaster and likely sucked as an attorney which is why he is where he is.
