Watching Ari Melber

He is giving credit to some guy (Dilbert creator) for correctly picking a Trump win in 2016. But in reality the guy was not correct.....They showed a clip that said he would win the BIGGEST electoral landslide which did not happen. This is similar when people say that some pollsters were right in 2016, but those pollsters had him winning the popular vote.

When was Dilbert all the rage? I got a Dilbert stuffed doll from a coworker back in the ... 90s?

Does this guy have his finger on the pulse of the electorate in 2020? Don’t think so.

Makes sense, they are considered the "liberal" network so their ratings would be better.

If you think Ari, who worked on two Democratic campaigns, wants Trump to win, I've got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

He acted very pro-Bernie, so he had Michael Moore on there more than once, and did take subtle jibes at Joe. He wanted Karen Bass for VP - the week Joe picked Kamala, he had her on, and was pushing for her.

propaganda we like, so it's OK.

And most of it is actually true, so there's that.
