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

Rick Sanchez always struck me as a holier than thou, I'm smarter than you kinda guy -- even towards this sidekicks that help him out with news during the day. I wish I could wipe that smug look off his face:

The conversation began with Sanchez decrying "elite, Northeast establishment liberals" who "deep down, when they look at a guy like me, they see a guy automatically who belongs in the second tier, and not the top tier.

"I think to some extent Jon Stewart and [Stephen] Colbert are the same way. I think Jon Stewart's a bigot," he said. "I think he looks at the world through, his mom, who was a school teacher, and his dad, who was a physicist or something like that. Great, I'm so happy that he grew up in a suburban middle class New Jersey home with everything you could ever imagine."
When asked who Stewart is bigoted against, Sanchez said "everybody else who's not like him."

Honestly, I look to Jon Stewart for comedy (the politics is an added bonus). I think Sanchez is just pissed that Stewart always makes fun of him for his over-the-top bravado. As Stewart once said about Sanchez:

"I just realized something. Rick Sanchez delivers the news like a guy at a party who's doing a lot of coke and traps you in a corner and explains REALLY INTENSELY how an ant is the strongest animal on earth."

And Colbert a northeast liberal elite? The dude is from South Carolina.

Very powerless people... [snickers] He's such a minority, I mean, you know [sarcastically]... Please, what are you kidding? ... I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they — the people in this country who are Jewish — are an oppressed minority? Yeah. [sarcastically]

I can't believe he can say that about the top brass from CNN... while still an anchor. You don't normally do that kind of shit.

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 🙂

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.

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.

Well Red Dawn, you have heard of him now, now are you going to address the question he asked or not. There was always a day when no one ever heard of Einstein, Gandhi,
Nelson Mandela, Mendal, Darwin, or Galileo.

She calls Sean Hannity smug asshole...


Anecdotally she went to school with Brett Baer and recalls him having a hard time talking to girls and sweaty hands....
 
I listen to NPR quit a bit. It never ceases to amaze me, waking up from some emotional crying jag I find myself in, to note that what I've been hooked listening to is some story of Jewish tragedy some trip down Jewish memory lane. I don't mind at all but the things I hear about tragedy elsewhere is noticeably less frequent. Is it a plot. I don't think so, but if there were more folk from different walks of life producing the stories that get aired, I think there would be more variety. There's a lot of tragedy in the world.

What is YOUR theory of WHY the Jews have disproportionate ownership of media? Here's a website you ought to agree with that will assist you in making your case:

Take the largest IQ on that list, subtract all the other IQs on that list, take the cube root, and you'll have Sanchez' IQ - a great party trick!

There are no doubt uranium fuel rods saying "Damn, that guy is DENSE!"

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.

Which is why there are more blacks in jail.

Which is why we are building a wall to Mexico and fighting a war against the bad drugs.

Which is why we are fighting 2 wars in the ME.
 
Funny how in public these radical righties will not say its the j00s. Liberal is so much easier nowadays to use. Liberal is a catch-all phrase for what used to be those damn elitiest catholics/jews. Kinda like how "state rights" means "leave us alone we dont like minorities."
