I like his coverage of the health insurance issues. He's been the only one that has been taking apart the Repugs attempts to repeal and replace ACA. He's the only one I've heard speak to the issue of the sabotage by the Repugs of ACA.
Kudo's to Velshi and MSNBC.

(36,547 posts)I like Ari, too, but last night he let a repub go on & on about how Obamacare is broken. He didn't once call the repub out & ask, how is it broken, how will you fix it, how does repealing it fix it - he just let him drone on & on about how it was broke. Most of them do.

(32,841 posts)We all heard Trump get away with saying it over & over - "Obamacare is a disaster."
Now all the Republicans are saying the same thing, but they're just parroting him.
Reporters have to call them on it and ask questions and make them say what's wrong with it.
They don't even know.
We know things have to be fixed because Obamacare isn't perfect.
We know the GOP torpedoed it but it's not too late to fix it.
This has to be a bipartisan effort and the GOP won't even consider it.
Start by calling them on it EVERY TIME they start criticizing Obamacare.

(193 posts)but was disappointed to hear him shill for gutting net neutrality because "the telecoms have a lot of $ invested and need to make more $$" by creating lanes and charging for the use of their investment

A little too coy for me. But both smart and hearts in the right place.

(844 posts)The explainer on why Obamacare isn't failing was great. I wish it were required viewing for republicans ; it does such a good job in a short time to lay it out. Even so, it might not sway them - because the first line was 'Republicans Are Wrong' - but it's just the truth.
