Why the HELL does Ari Melber give a RAT'S ASS over who is "happy" or "sad" about today?

One of his guests said she was happy that we "finally got there" and he said something like "So...many people have said that they are SAD about this, but YOU are telling me that you're HAPPY, is that right?"

He also had David Corn on a roll, and interrupted him, and now he's talking to Corn about Talking Heads.

Not my favorite MSNBC personality. He has a few traits that remind me of Tweety.

(and thereby humiliate about 75% of his guests who have no clue)--and you ask why he'd be doing the "emotional autopsy" today?

I don't dislike Ari, but sometimes his producers need to rein him in, IMO.

Me.

Kick Nancy all over the place again. Don't know if Goldberg did the same, as she usually does, but didn't hear that section

and switched over to Wolf Blitzer, but Blitzer isn't much better. The good stuff starts with Chris Hayes.

...and he has nothing half as interesting as what the guest was talking about. However, in his defense, I think he is trying to move the show along at a good pace.
