Chris Hayes uses a highly evolved and developed professionalism in the way he communicates a
desire to influence his listeners.
He hasn't said any of the things I am about to describe, but I am just giving an example of the 'kind' of thing he might say.
If he were arguing for gun control, he might say- 'I am not saying a gun is a little friend, but there are
some who seem to protect guns as though they were.'
With a tiny little sly reference to a slight deformity of something Al Pacino said in one of the bloodiest scenes in movies, Mr. Hayes can shift the minds of countless viewers to a film (Scarface) which is an actual anthem for many young men, but which shows guns are the least of an individual's
manhood.
Lately, I've seen other journalists attempting this nuanced speech.
Chris Hayes, though, is the master. He slips those zingers into referential culture speech so quickly,
I am tempted while watching to ask- 'Who was that masked man?'
