4. You can't boycott something you aren't buying or paying for,

but you don't have to watch his show. He does have an annoying habit of interviewing the most biased and disreputable Trump apologists he can find, as well as looking like a clueless dork who tries unsuccessfully to look cool by interviewing rappers.

7. Maybe it is because it is a news show?

Which typically presents both sides of a story or issue so the viewer can make informed decisions.
His show is not a Trump tweet or a DU thread; why are so many people here opposed to journalism?

on edit: Of course anyone is free to not watch a show if they believe it is inherently unfair or if they simply don't like it. But I am growing increasingly concerned about the number of people on this forum who want all content on their TV, especially anything on MSNBC, to present only the liberal/Democratic point of view.

I give Ari the benefit of the doubt. It makes me uncomfortable too, but I value his willingness to strive for comprehensive coverage. Watching Faux Noise is more than I can stomach, so this is the best I can do. Also, I kind of admire Ari’s sly ability to maintain his equipoise while rightwing creepy crawlers ooze their evil slime. They never come off well. It isn’t his job to protect me from exposure to the monster.

I had to stop cooking and google the guy. Of course he was from some "Conservative America" type group. I changed the channel and waited a long time until I was sure he was gone for good. My remote control gets quite the workout during the past two years. The "mute" button is almost worn out due to Kellyanne and Sarah Fuckubee alone.

like Jerome Corsi and Sam Nunberg and other such crackpots, and I don't know why. If the purpose is to make them look ridiculous he isn't doing a very good job of it. I don't want a liberal Fox either, but maybe they at least could invite a few GOP guests who aren't complete loons (yes, I know the majority are loons) so maybe they could at least have a somewhat rational discussion.

I want news that has all perspectives. And for blatant lies to be challenged which CNN and NPR, at least in my opinion have been doing a better job at.

Apparently even a few of the Fox daytime guys are doing some of it. But I don’t watch FOX because they show only has one perspective. If FOX ever starts being about the truth rather than Trump spin I would watch them as well.

When CNN, NPR and MSNBC start delving into the inherent challenges of Medicare for all, which they are obligated to do, all hell will break out on DU.

Or are there limitations to his creative and political license?

I respect his ability to dissect legal entanglements. I loathe his schoolboy fascination with rappers juxtaposed to a consequential discussions.

It seems that we were fed an early diet of dialed-in Ari; lately, it feels like he's been neutered. Sad.

43. I refuse to watch Ari.

His program and guests are just too annoying. Likewise, Chuck Todd has far too many people on who are all too willing to paint Democrats as this vast far-out crowd of left-wing nuts who want no one to work for a living and the government to give them everything.

And when Noah Rothman is on Morning Joe, I usually mute or turn off completely. He is generally clueless white and thinks white privilege is a figment of everyone’s imagination. What I don’t understand is why MSNBC, a cable outlet with liberals as 80% or more as its viewers chooses the people they do to portray the Republican side. I’m willing to listen to rational Republicans, who granted are a scarce species these days, but I hope never to see the likes of Hugh Hewitt on MSNBC. Who the hell do they think garners them all those viewer ratings? It isn’t Trump’s Republican deplorables who have their Stepford eyeballs glued to Fox to get their daily dose of state propaganda.

49. I like Ari, he 'reps' Gen-X/90's

culture well, with the old school hip-hop references.

Ari's style is about trying to juxtapose disparate elements of culture (like with the "fall back" segment he does), to see how it all aligns, ie a postmodernist approach that defines Gen-X and the 80's and 90's era.

I think this is what he's trying to do with bringing on Trumpers, to get that contrast.

Don't care to hear them, but Ari often goes at them hard, while being fair.

He is absolutely anti-trump. Sometimes I think he interviews these folks so he can trip them up. He's an attorney so he often does a great job of interrogating (rather than interviewing). One night he got Corsi (I believe) to admit he was "telling the truth about a lie." I don't care for the shows that have that bunch on, but I've seen him use those shows against them later.

5. Stop watching. Get friends to stop watching.

13. I call it the Starbucks dilemma

3. I saw that too. Joyce Vance said she found McCabe and his book

6. I stopped watching months ago. We should all stop watching.

9. This

20. No disclosure, no rebuttal

41. But ONLY if there is a rebuttal

11. Has he changed? I used to really like him. Has pressure been put on him to be pro-Trump?

21. I don't think he's gone pro-Trump as much as he wants to seem edgy and controversial.

30. yes

15. It's news! The last thing I want is cnn to become the FOX of the left.

22. OK, but . . .

37. She kept deflecting, saying that McCabe is in hot water and lied about everything.

16. It is a news commentary program we can handle both sides of an issue

23. No Both Sides tonight

33. So MSNBC should do like Faux and have 5 Democrats talking over

44. I'm catching this thread late

19. I thought he was fairly tough on her, making her state her position clearly, no weasel words.
