good news from MSNBC

From Ari Melber's facebook feed:

Hey all, some WORK NEWS:

Today I was named MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent, covering law, policy,the FBI, Justice Department, Supreme Court and law enforcement issues across the channel. I will also continue in my role as a co-host of The Cycle, and guest host for other programs. For the new role, I'm excited to build on my legal coverage, including the series of reports on racial justice and counter-terror that I've shared with you all here.

We wouldn't be able to do this kind of reporting without such an informed and engaged community, so on a day like today I want to thank you to you guys -- the readers and viewers who engage, and debate, and share our work.

As for getting back to work...I have a new report on the FBI's cyber unit airing today, will post it here in a few...

(For some reason " wouldn't post in the above??)
Anyhow, I don't have access to MSNBC. If he posted something, or when he does, could someone post a link?
Thanks,

He's cool on The Cycle and knows his stuff. I'm pretty much OK with all of the hosts on there except Toure.

You may not like him, but he represents a tiny fraction of diversity on that show.

Is somebody from the thuggish "right" is funding an ad that wants all Democrats who watch MSNBC to plan for a short life, a la Logan's Run. It's an ad that runs a thousand times a day, anybody that watches knows it well: If you're between 40 and 85, bla, bla bla, funeral advantage. Where is the outrage from all the DUers that watch that vicious channel. They allow this ad to run, they shouldn't. We need a good liberal channel, one where the ads don't want you to die young. I can't stress this enough.
