Why Does Ari Melber Have Dickheads on His Show?

I'm sick of Melber having on Republican liars such as Carter Page and Michael Caputo.

I had to mute it. Couldn't listen to anymore BS from them.

Why does Ari allow them to come on and spread their propaganda for Trump?

What do you think?

He has now demonstrated, for more than 6 months, that he is eager to bring on Republican propagandists. It needs to be stopped and he needs to be boycotted. Nothing else will stop it.

He's not watchable to me on his own show - repugs spewing lies, quirky hip hop references, and silly 'fall back' Fridays.
I do enjoy watching him on other shows because then he is serious about his legal expertise.

It's something a little different. I love the "usuals," but let's face it, they are preaching to the choir, and we see them all about 10 times a day/night. I don't think we want a leftie Faux news where it's everything we agree with. Having said that, I'd rather listen to George Papandopalus (sp) and Caputo who were part of the problem than to listen to a Hugh Hewitt or Noelle whats-her-face. YMMV.

And Ari is pretty sharp - he doesn't let them get away with BS.

Haven't seen much of either lately, thank God. I think I dislike Hugh more though. Noelle just comes off as an idiot, while Hugh is hard to watch because he's such a smarmy dick.

lots of people can listen to all different points of view and don't have to have constant reinforcement. I imagine that's Ari's thinking.

and find myself both very informed and much less annoyed at their constant blathering.

This kind of thing is much too consistent among too many people for it to be individual jornalists dropping the ball.

Those dickheads were all interviewed by the Mueller team and thus have rare perspective into exactly what were Mueller's focus, direction, and priorities in the questioning.

Ari got some great insights from the dickeads into what might be in the Mueller Report --- a highly worthwhile undertaking considering the public doesn’t have access to the actual report.
