Liberal viewers are calling for a boycott of progressive cable news channel MSNBC over their decision to interview a controversial guest.
"Ratings over the health of our democracy"
Ari Melber announced that MSNBC would welcome Steve Bannon, former White House aide, on Friday for an interview. This occasioned angry responses from viewers and others.
MSNBC was criticized by Simon Maloy of the left-wing organization Media Matters for the interview in an article entitled, "Stop interviewing Steve Bannon." Maloy had been tracking Bannon's interviews, and calculates that he's done 22 in the last six months.
Actor and U.S. Navy veteran Bruno Amato led the charge for a boycott.
"Please Boycott @TheLastWord tonight with @AriMelber," Amato tweeted Friday. "MSNBC is giving their airwaves to Racist Drunk Nazi, America hater, Trump propogandist Steve Bannon."
"Stop normalizing this scum," he added, "this is why we are where we are with a traitor as president."

Vermont gubernatorial candidate, Christine Hallquist, sat down for an interview with CNN's John Berman to discuss being the first transgender nominee for a major political party. Hallquist won the Democratic primary for governor on Tuesday.
During an interview with CNN, Berman referred to a Gallup poll that found that socialism is much more popular among Democrats than capitalism. Hallquist was asked by Berman if those figures surprised her at all and whether or not she supports capitalism.
Hallquist affirmed she isn't really big on labels "because they're used to separate people."
"Do you support capitalism?" Berman asked.
"Obviously, the long history of measuring ourselves by increasing gross domestic product is a flawed measure. That just encourages consumption, and we see what consumption is doing to our world," Hallquist said.
Berman then pressed Hallquist again about her fondness for socialism and its structures.
“I’m not sure I even know what socialism is, so I don’t have the background to ?
