• Resumen

  • Krueger features Ari Melber, MSNBC's rising star, who is a lawyer-turned-journalist who wants to solve problems, not shout about them. Melber came to television less than two years ago from Cahill Gordon & Reindel where he was the right-hand man to Floyd Abrams, one of the country's top First-Amendment lawyers. Since then, he has disrupted cable news' regular rhythm of political speculation, rants, and breathless coverage with conversations about public policy and his own view of right and wrong. He approaches journalism as though he were working the courtroom, probing witnesses, circumventing circumventers, and pushing for resolution. His passion is criminal-justice reform, and he airs stories on the subject with tiresome regularity.
