Ali Velshi is an Emmy-award-winning journalist, best-selling author, noted expert on finance & business and a star anchor on cable news network MSNBC.
How did a Canadian, born in Kenya, come to be such a powerful voice in American cable news?
Steven talks to Ali about that journey and the challenges facing journalists in Trump's America, the gulf between stories the news/political classes focus on and what's important to everyday people, how to fight deliberate ignorance and opposition to facts and the type of news stories which continue to haunt him.
A 'must-listen' for those concerned about the spread of false news, 'fake news' and the political forces promoting both. Plus, there's also the trademark FU_Politics humour that keeps the conversation entertaining as well as informative.
Host: Steven Kerzner, founder of FUN - The FU_Network, award-winning TV writer/producer, radio host and multimedia consultant.
