To those of you who hate Ari Melber's 5 o'clock shadow (Poll)

[lillypaddle]

and constantly put him down, for such superficiality, do you even realize how much he promotes the black culture? And the culture of many people of color as well as sexual orientation?

Just wondering.

He's one of a kind, especially on a news show (MSNBC). But shit, he's got whiskers.

1. Imagine being this invested in Ari Melber.

2. Imagine being this invested in his whiskers

I hear that a lot.

6. I must not be paying attention because this

is the first time I’ve heard that anyone had an issue with his whiskers.

3. I dislike the whole semi-shaven look

But not enough to say hate. Ari's look doesn't bother me any more than any other unshaven man's. And I do like his show even if I know nothing about the alternative life styles he features. He enlarges my world, so I appreciate him for that.

4. Me, too

Thanks for the comment

11. I'm sure he shaved this morning.

That's his five o'clock shadow. The guy could grow a bread in days!

12. That's why I call it semi-shaven

If his viewers requested, I wonder if he'd shave a second time in the afternoon? Of course, if his viewers either don't care or like his look, there is not reason for him to do it. His body, his choice.

I know the difficulties - not personally - my father was also dark haired and if he had an event to go to at night, he'd shave again in the late afternoon, as close to the time he had to leave as possible. He had to do that nearly until he passed away at 90. His stubble was not longer black but gray like his hair had gone.

5. he's an entertainment talk show host. average in that category nt

7. While working hard to expand his audience,

he challenges those who want it their way. Regardless, he is a brilliant mind and brings on what some might see as outres and let's us judge the success of the interview. He is about raising the bar. Does it fall of the stands, yes. It gets put back each night. He has great advanced thinking essays. Can't take him? Don't get an abortion.

8. I don't mind it one bit and

I don’t find any wrong with unshaven legs or arm pits.

9. He's fine. I only want him to stop interrupting so much, especially to embarrass guests who do not

get his contemporary, social, or music references (however unintentionally).

All good things in moderation, Ari. That's all.

10. He reads lyric as if each was expressing an immortal truth.

He reminds me of Eppy “Nuke” LaLoosh: “‘Sometimes you win. Sometimes. . . you lose. Sometimes. . . . it rains!’ Think about that for a while.”

13. That doesn't bother me so much. I am turned off by him reciting some rap

lyrics for every damn story he covers. I just change channels.
