Ari Melber quoted the rapper Orwell...

I couldn’t find any of his work on iTunes but there’s some guy who wrote a couple books in historical times by the same name.

Ari did quote Kanye West tonight, and I did find some of his stuff…

literature is embarrassingly cringe-worthy to me. To each his own and all that, but, IMO it makes him seem incredibly shallow. Or me. YMMV.

A middle age Jewish guy wanting to be cool spouting black rappers

I wish they would take his show off the air and replace it with someone who is not trying to be an adolescent hip hopper

Doesn’t mean others don’t enjoy him. I watch him right before my local news and he’s out there for me at times n then once in a while..I get it! Now..on to The Reid Out. I’m not a woman of color but I get her. I’m just trying to keep up n understand so I can be the best I can be. We can always change channels. Or not.
