Rick Sanchez: Jon Stewart Is A Bigot And CNN Is Run By Jews

I'll bite....Sanchez is an idiot. He can't even give an example of Stewart's alleged bigotry. Stewart's show for the most part is making fun of hypocrites... And as for Colbert? Colbert is satire...that bigotry is 100% making fun of an ideology, which is quite different than being intolerant of other opinions.
Yup. He apparently got away with killing some kid while drunk driving. He didn't think to come back to the scene until 2 hrs. after the accident. Classy guy. We need more like him in power.
By the way, I've been reading Colbert's "I am America and So Can You" and the whole thing is pure gutteral laughter. The book reads exactly like a manuscript of the same satire from the show. Good stuff.

I spent many years in news myself a long time ago. The problem I always had
was, these people took themselves to seriously. That is why they do the chatter
thing now, its supposed to make them look human after talking down to you for
fifteen minutes. News was once real information about what is happening in the
world. Now it appears to be more of a magazine on air with so much fluff that
real news is no longer part of the content. Imagine, Tiger Woods was the only
topic for days, and yet American and allied troops were dying in the field for a
bunch of ideals that most of the home folks don't even know about anymore.
Sanchez is there for sensational value, trying to spruce up CNN while guys like
Larry King have decided to take their money and run. CNN could have been the
leader if they had stuck to content, they didn't and now the people interested in
information have gone to satire which often has more truth in it than the hard
news channels. In a few months from now, Sanchez will be working in a small
market in the Florida Keys, a long way from the lime light, the moguls that run
the system don't like it when they are criticized rightly or wrongly, they just don't
react right away.

I'm sorry but Rick Sanchez deserved CNN's firing of his stupid arse. For all the criticism I see of Jon Stewart, after having watched him for the better part of the last 6-8 years, he still makes me laugh as he points out the hypocrasy and stupidity that politicians of ALL stripes try to get away with. I also agree with his attitude on the partisan nature of US politics, as brought forth on CNN's Hardball a few years back and as evidenced by his upcoming rally: the extreme partisanship kills dialogue and ideas and as a result hurts the country (thats true in Canada as well as the US).
Yep, Stuart's bigotry is there for all to see. Just as Sanchez says, look at the people he surrounds himself with - John Oliver, an Anglo; Aasif Mandvi, a Muslim; Samantha Bee and Jason Jones, two Canadians; Wyatt Cenac, African American; plus several others of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Sure looks bigoted to me.
Another super post, damngrumpy! I think you should have a daily blog. :smile:
I find people like this Sanchez extremely puzzling. Had similar sudden unpleasant surprises from co-workers, acquaintances & even a long-term very good now ex-friend over the years, always leaves me completely taken aback as they go right out of character. He holds his opinions in check for years knowing they're non PC and highly offensive to most people then all of a sudden for some reason feels he's in a situation, while very public, where its ok to voice them. What happens?
In the comments section on the CNN site someone posted saying he, Sanchez, had been a tv anchor at a Miami channel 15 years ago. That they had phoned the channel to complain about him after watching in disgust as he & the camera man were laughing and making derogatory comments about Cuban immigrants while taping them floundering in flood waters in the aftermath of a hurricane. Normally one takes comments posts with a grain of salt - a maybe attitude, but considering his diatribe it seems highly possible.
So wouldn't a major network like CNN do a thorough background check on someone they're going to put into the kind of editorializing segment he was given? Does it mean that either they did & knew & wanted controversy but it kind of blew up on them? Or they didn't check him out beforehand? Added to the drunk driving & killing a child & leaving the scene plus goodness knows what he's said and done it seems crazy that they hired the guy. It's obvious what he is, but what the heck kind of corp. is CNN?

Liebowitz is a bigot for not using his real name.
Good riddance to bad rubbish, no wonder nobody watches this network.

The problem is a lot of these people think they have become bigger
than the media they represent. You usually find those with the big
ego' s have to hide their real feelings. Personally I think making fun
of ones self and others for entertainment is alright, we must all have
a sense of humor. The problem is, there are those out there that
have deep hatred for others and wish to blame others for their own
short comings. Therefore the Jews, Left Handed People, Midgets
or some other group are to blame for their ills. I would really like to
know, the rating figures for Rick's program. If they were sagging he
might be more inclined to lash out. CNN has been dumping some of
its leading people lately for sagging ratings. lou Dobbs had lost a lot
of his audience, even Larry King was on a bit of a slide.
You live and die by the rating numbers. Over the years I faced that
a couple of times myself. In the media business, you must accept the
concept the day you are hired, you should remember you are on a
schedule of borrowed time. Ratings go down you are fired.
Sanchez is an idiot, if he wanted to do satire then do it, but he wanted
to be a serious news commentator, not a newsman, he never was that.
He was a commentator with opinions. A newscaster tells you the story
without opinion. If you don't know the difference, don't work in the
industry. I have done both over the years, but I knew when my time was
up and moved on to other things, like farming.

There is a difference between a commentator and a newscaster.
A commentator talks about the story in front of them and can in
fact have an opinion, as part of a discussion. This type of news
is supposed to generate conversation and debate, which is an
exchange of ideas.
A newscaster however, delivers a story at a scheduled time or
several times during a shift. The news is not in fact decided by
some guy in a hidden closet. The news business is very and I
mean very competitive business. There are many updates to a
story as it evolves. If the story is generated by the person on air,
it has more continuity, but that is rare. Some people think the
news is engineered and that is false.
Now granted, there are times when lazy people just repeat what
they got originally, without updating it that is a problem. I hear
all these comments about the Jews, or the Blacks or the something
else is dominating the news, and that is not true. People who are
the story have the wonderful ability to say or comment, on their
role which puts them in a bad light, will a news person point that out?
Of course, if people say stupid things and act in the most negative
way, that is part of the story and fair game.
The problem with today's news is that for some reason the networks
feel they have to entertain as well as inform and that devalues the
content of a newscast in my opinion. The quality of news people
has diminished over the last decade I believe. But to say there is
some great conspiracy is nonsense, and whining by the right and
left. When I did open line, if the left called me a Nazi and the right
called me a Communist, I knew i was pretty much down the middle.

That is like saying all male dancers are gay, which is not true and totally irrelevant.
why do you go down... to this now? your no better than bullying. espcially when you have to insult someone.

huh?
Caught sitting on the fence?
I agree to a certain extent. But the newscaster IS relaying what the big-boys at the top are demanding be told, on the 6 o`clock news.
Did you broadcast over there on the West Coast and what years?

The big boys have been too busy counting their money.
The news outlets are somewhat like newspapers and
that is quite different, papers have always been know
by their editorial view. Conservative and or Liberal. I
think sometimes people think the electronic media is
the same. I have known a number of newscasters who
were either on the left or right personally but they told the
story as it was on the facts. I always tried to just tell the
story as the facts stated, and I never encountered big
boys telling me what to say.
Commentary is a different kettle of fish, even there I did
not always approach the situation from a left right point of
view. There is a for instance that creates a story situation
and that determines what my view is to it. I believe to have
a measure of credibility you use whatever ever facts there
are to determine an opinion, like everyone else does.
As for where I worked. Not on the West Coast, but I did a
lot of radio in the interior and in Alberta, from the Peace
Country to Edmonton, Red Deer and so on.
Of course media in the mid sixties to the mid nineties is
somewhat different than it is now. I listen, but rarely take
part in broadcasting anymore. Over my time in media I
did radio, television and newspapers. There is some
truth and a lot of urban myths about who controls what.
As the saying goes, perception is reality, reality is not
always reality.

Not necessarily, what I said is some people believe there is a great
conspiracy, when there isn't. Others believe what they want to
believe, regardless of whether or not its true, and that keeps the
urban myth alive. The media has an agenda. In fact they do they
bring you the news. The right wing complains the reporters are
liberals, the liberals complain that the media has a right wing bias.
Do you know who gets the most coverage? People who in fact
know how to talk in sound bites right or left. The reason is the
editing is not required, and the crew likes to go for a beer.
That is the extent of the conspiracy, windbags don't get the
best coverage usually regardless of which side they are on.
