They wouldn't offer a news option without FOX News getting some of my money.
So I terminated it.

Haven't missed it.
It seems to have gone down hill from that time.
It was already on the way.

I have mixed feelings about Ari.
I get the complaint
But I do appreciate that he does have a clue legally
so some of his discussions can have more depth that way.

Very rarely do I watch a whole cable program.
I can't. They lose me.

Reminds me of the dorky kid in SocialDemocrat61 Feb 2024 #15

Exactly. It's really pathetic. TSExile Feb 2024 #17

He doesn't piss me off quite that much tavernier Feb 2024 #29

I turned him off during the reThug interview, hoping to send a signal. ariadne0614 Feb 2024 #2

All cable is off my list, they suck. pwb Feb 2024 #3

You clearly did not watch MSNBC last evening NoRethugFriends Feb 2024 #5

Yeah that is what I said. pwb Feb 2024 #6

They did not suck at all. They were excellent. If you listened, you would know. NoRethugFriends Feb 2024 #8

My opinion doesn't have to make sense to you. pwb Feb 2024 #11

I hear a lot of assumptions Drum Feb 2024 #4

He's annoyed me for over a year. CousinIT Feb 2024 #7

I used to DVR Ari's show back before COVID LetMyPeopleVote Feb 2024 #12

I'm a John Flannery fan too, i only see him on Ari but he's not on enough for me to to dem4decades Feb 2024 #21

I think you're missing the core question before the court: Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #13

Clearly, it's the commentator's fault if they say something we don't like. The SC is packed Silent Type Feb 2024 #14

Boy did you miss the point (which has nothing to do with a commentator making a single comment hlthe2b Feb 2024 #20

No I didn't miss the point. The media is not why we are in this mess. Stupid voters are Silent Type Feb 2024 #22

The entire subject of this thread is Ari Melber. WHile I don't disagree with your other points... hlthe2b Feb 2024 #24

Reread OP. Plenty of media criticism, but agree it's mostly (like 95%) aimed at AM. Never mind. Silent Type Feb 2024 #25

I like his show SocialDemocrat61 Feb 2024 #16

Thank you. I could not agree more. Arrogant asshole and thrives on embarrassing others hlthe2b Feb 2024 #18

I like him. H2O Man Feb 2024 #19

I'm with you True Dough Feb 2024 #27
