Rick Sanchez Fired for Remarks About Jews **Sanchez Apologizes**

[ShawnD1]

so... was it the CNN Jews that fire him?
I know a Jew. Doesnt even own a tv. So much for controlling the media...

Why own a TV when you can own the entire TV network :sneaky:

 

[JS80]

Well, I see nearly everyone is jumping on Rick Sanchez for saying something politically incorrect.

But still, Rick Sanchez has asked a logical question, in the USA where Jews are 2% of the population, we should be addressing the question of do the Jews control far far far more than 2% of the American media? And more importantly is the American public being short changed because they do get a pro-Israeli biased version of mid-east news with the real truth lost in the fast shuffle because of the media bias?

If nothing else, that is almost a slam dunk case to make, simply by comparing American news coverage of the same mid-east events compared to the press of almost every other nation.

But as I well know, the last refuge of scoundrels is to attack the messenger and thereby avoid addressing the logic and truth of the message.

But on the other hand, Rick Sanchez made a flat statement and did little or nothing to prove his case.

If the Jewish religion never existed, the 2% you were referring to would be "high IQ and highly talented people." Would you be posting "why are high IQ and highly talented and motivated people who make up 2% of the population control the majority of the media and wealth?!?!"

media says this --> they really mean this
urban = black
inner city = black
middle class = white
special interest group = mexican
liberal = bases policy on results rather than emotion
conservative = old and angry religious nutcase
womens right groups = lesbians
controversial = controversial if you are a retard
teaching sex = basic biology lessons

For example. Take the following sentence one would typically see on Fox News:
A liberal judge is appealing to special interest groups by taking a controversial position regarding the teaching of sex to fifth graders. Middle class conservatives are protesting outside the courthouse.

What they really mean is this:
A judge who is aware that kids are going to have sex anyway is helping the Mexican community by allowing teachers to teach them about sex and how to prevent pregnancy. White old people who don't have jobs are protesting this because they want the Mexican population to explode for no apparent reason.

You forget a demographic

Asian = does not exist because Asians break their agenda

Asians are close enough to whites that reactionaries can use them as a PC example of how the whites want other minorities to be since just saying "Why cant they be like us old white people?!" is a no-go.

Wow. You're pretty messed up.

So we get worst of both worlds - get stereotyped by everyone but treated at sub-white level, but have no minority "rights."

Welcome to US post-racism culture.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

He got fired because he picked on Jon Stewart.

 

[EXman]

Blacks are responsible for most violent crime in this country.

Mexicans are responsible for bringing most of the drugs into this country.

Muslims are responsible for most terrorist acts in this country.

And it is ok to be a bigotted to White Christians in the media!

 

[EXman]

from the OP's website link

"O He appeared on the radio show as part of tour to promote his book “Conventional Idiocy.”"

wow I guess he practices what he flips out about!

 

[aphex]

I dunno, maybe its because I like Rick Sanchez, but i didn't see his comments as being all that offensive, and I'm Jewish.

CNN was well within their right to fire him though, he does represent the network as one of their anchors.

Jon Stewart Breaks Silence, Ridicules Rick Sanchez

NEW YORK - Jon Stewart and David Letterman joked about the Rick Sanchez controversy here Saturday evening as host of Comedy Central's "Night Of Too Many Stars."

CNN fired former anchor Sanchez Friday after he let loose on "The Daily Show" host and Jewish people in the media while appearing on the "Stand Up! with Pete Dominick" Sirius XM radio show.

Stewart brought up the issue in his opening monologue to "Stars," which he hosted at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre.

In talking about how people should donate for autism education, for which the show raises money, Stewart said: "If you went on radio and said the Jews control the media...you may want to hold on to your money."

But if Sanchez was right about the Jews, Stewart also suggested, "All he has to do is apologize to us, and we'll hire him back."

The Sanchez topic came up again when Letterman made a surprise guest appearance. The late-night host told Stewart that he was just in the city "helping Rick Sanchez clean out his office."

Even Tom Brokaw got in on the fun in an appearance later in the evening in which he took a jab at Sanchez as well.

The "Night Of Too Many Stars" will air on Comedy Central on Oct. 21

LOL, you know you're fucked when even Tom Brokaw is mocking you

 

[epidemis]

No, .

You really believe you could go on television and say those things? Especially in fascist england? Just the connotations alone will make you feel the full wrath of the PC crowd.

I actually liked Rick's show when nothing else was on (all summer after Campbell left...).

He took Jon's mocking a bit too seriously though. He actually played Jon mocking him a few times a week on his own program, probably to show he could laugh at himself, but that's obviously not true.

I thought I heard banjos.

 

[evident]

i tried applying to some "minority scholarships" in highschool, guess what? i got rejected on the fact that i wasn't a minority. thats when i realized that we got the shaft when it comes to these things.

Slate - Do Jews Really Control the Media?

Setting aside the propriety of Sanchez's claims, is he right? Do Jews control the media?

Maybe the movies, but not the news. If Sanchez was referring to people in the television news business, he's wrong. Not one of the major television news operations—Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS News, or NBC News—is currently headed by a Jewish executive. (That includes Ken Jautz, the man who fired Sanchez.) Or at least none of these executives has talked about being Jewish in a public forum. The Internet is littered with rumors about various media moguls being Jewish, but few of those claims are backed by any evidence.

There are more Jews at the head of the country's major newspapers, but it's still a stretch to say these publications are controlled by them. Even in New York City, where around 12 percent of the population is Jewish, there isn't any indication of Jewish dominance. The Ochs Sulzberger family, which has controlled the New York Times for more than a century, is of Jewish origin. But current Executive Editor Bill Keller is not.

At the Wall Street Journal, the only hint of Jewish influence at the top is the persistent Internet rumor that the mother of Rupert Murdoch, the CEO of Journal parent News Corp., is Jewish. Murdoch has joked about the gossip but hasn't addressed the whispers publicly. (The Explainer's phone calls to News Corp. headquarters went unreturned.) The Bancroft family, which controlled the Journal for nearly eight decades until they handed the reins to Murdoch in 2007, isn't Jewish, nor is current Journal Managing Editor Robert Thomson.

Jewish-American businessman Eugene Meyer bought the Washington Post in 1933. Philip Graham, his non-Jewish son-in-law, took over in 1946, and the paper has been published by gentiles ever since. Current Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli is not Jewish, nor are any of his top 12 editors. The Chandler family, which owned the Los Angeles Times for decades, is not Jewish. Sam Zell, who bought the paper in 2007, is a Jew, but top editor Russ Stanton is not.

...

The top executives at major media conglomerates are also Jewish in greater numbers than the general population. Robert Iger of Disney and Sumner Redstone and Leslie Moonves of CBS are all Jews, while Jeffrey Immelt of General Electric and Jeffrey Bewkes of Time Warner are not. Jeff Zucker, the departing head of NBC, is Jewish.

Slate - Do Jews Really Control the Media?

The article misses the point. It's all about middle management. That's where the real influence takes place on day-to-day matters. Also, networking is powerful. I should know considering there are many Jews in my family.

Rick Sanchez apologizes:

Rick Sanchez gave his first interview following his firing from CNN to ABC's "Good Morning America" on Friday--and the former anchor didn't waste any time apologizing for his comments about Jon Stewart and Jews.

"I screwed up," he told "GMA" co-host George Stephanopoulos.

Stephanopoulos asked him what had led him to call Stewart a "bigot" and say everyone who ran CNN was "a lot like" the "Daily Show" host on a Sirius XM satellite radio show last week. Sanchez blamed the scandal on fatigue:

"I was tired, I'd been working fourteen hour days for like two-and-a-half months, I was doing three shows, I was exhausted, it was right after the show, my daughter had a softball game I desperately wanted to go to, and I was a little impatient. I said some things I shouldn't have said. They were wrong. Not only were they wrong, they were offensive."

Sanchez stressed that his comments were not meant to be anti-Semitic, but said he went into the interview "with a chip on my shoulder" about the fact that no people of color were hosting prime time cable news shows.

"I was feeling a little bit put out, and I was feeling a little sensitve, and I was looking at the landscape...and I externalized the problem and I put it on Jon Stewart's shoulders, and I was wrong to do that," he said, though he also admitted that he felt Stewart had essentially called him stupid when he mocked him on "The Daily Show."

The interview capped off a week of contrition from Sanchez. On Wednesday, he released a statement saying that he had apologized to Stewart personally in a telephone call.
