The Beat with Ari Melber Online

It's Ari's personality! Sincere, really wants to know the answers to his questions, lets guests finish their sentences, knows what he is talking about and how to examine the topic. REALLY like this host and the show!

Your show is consistently stimulating and your opinions are well founded. Much appreciated.

I am so happy that Ari Melber got his own show! I enjoyed when he was a guest on other MSNBC shows but now we get a whole hour! The Beat offers a unique perspective, because Ari Melber is an attorney and a legal consultant for MSNBC. I'm fascinated with the legalities--especially with this White House--and really appreciate his insights. He manages to take some of the emotion out of the news, which is refreshing and sometimes a great relief, and focus on the legal impact. Ari never loses his cool! In fact, he IS cool-- how many hosts can you really say that about? And he's really funny, too. (If you like Hip Hop and Rap, you really have to check him out. Just do it, you will see what I mean.) Great addition to the evening lineup, I watch it every night.

Love this show, especially the fall back at the end.

I loved his guest hosting on other shows prior to The Beat, and to me, he's brought a semblance of what news used to be. Pertinent and important news delivered by a trusted individual. Whether or not you are a fan of MSNBC, I have watched this show long enough to know that Ari presents stories he believes are important matters to all citizens to be openly discussed by all sides. Not simply topics that made the headlines that day.

Ari is clearly and honestly stated, and inviting of other viewpoints and interpretations. (Unfortunate that those other interpretations aren't necessarily spoken freely and honestly, but simply to push a partisan party line - however, it is still my hope we will go beyond that someday).But Ari's legal expertise helps to clarify the complexities of today's stories that often require more explanation than simple headline reporting.

And it doesn't hurt that he can share in the sense of irony in so much of what he has to report about - since there's no shortage of that these days either (and today's news reporting - without that and the ability to laugh once in awhile about the absurdity of it all - just sucks the soul out of you and makes you want to jump off a bridge). Ari Melber has very successfully found that balance, thank goodness.
