CNN fires Rick Sanchez after he calls Jon Stewart a bigot (speech, atrocities)

[theunbrainwashed]

I'm glad Ricardo Sánchez got the boot. He deserved it in my opinion. As a fellow Caribbean latino like Sánchez, he should be ASHAMED of himself of being a leftist. Especially one that was born from Cuba, and that his family ran away from Papá Castro. ¡Adiós guzano!

It didn't sound like to me that Rick was saying Jews run the media. He was saying that people who run the media think like Jon Stewart or share his outlook on things. I hope CNN had Rick clarify his words before firing him.

Are you sure Rick is a Leftist? He alwaysed struck me as being a moderate democrat at least. I mean he was being criticle of the left with his Jon Stewart comments.

The problem with the list is that it's more of a "Name All The Jewish People You Can Think of with Media Ties" roll call than it is about control.

Yes, there are a lot of names on the list that are executives. But there are also plenty of other names that are much closer to being show business people: Michael Savage, Larry King, Michael Medved, etc. At least half of the people on this list do not control anything other than their own talk shows or columns to whatever extent they actually do control them. I'm not going to argue that there are a lot of Jewish people in show business, but that's not the same thing as "control" in the media. Also this doesn't take into account the many non-Jewish people who are also media executives. This Jewish-controlled media nonsense is pure mythology, and nothing more.

Does anyone really believe Michael Savage or Larry King are part of this Jewish control of the media conspiracy? Larry King used to take naps under the console during breaks in his shows. These guys control nothing.

Jon Stewart is irrelevant to this issue. His claim that Jews run the media networks is what nailed him.

So when he has another job like the one he just lost within that time, I expect to see a retraction to this.

He'll end up at Fox News....

Fox news seems to be the final resting place of all former disgruntle former news anchors...

Oh, you're an anti-Semite alright, and your list actually proves it.

Rupert Murdoch is Jewish? Wow, that'll be news to him!

Neil Shapiro is the President of NBC News, so this is evidence that Jews own and run the media. Hmmm, let's look at others in that position at other media outlets, shall we?

Sean McManus, President of CBS News - Not Jewish
Roger Ailes, President of Fox News - Not Jewish
Jim Walton, President of CNN Worldwide - Not Jewish

So, 1 in 4 of these major networks' Presidents is Jewish. But Jews own and run the media. Right.

Jeff Gaspin is the Executive Vice-President of Programming, NBC, is he? I wonder who the other Executive VPs of Programming are? Let's take a look. . .

Michael Wright, Senior Vice President Original Programming, Turner Entertainment - Not Jewish

Wow, lookie there, a bunch of non-Jews across a swath of media outlets. But Jews own and run the media.

Shall I pick out some other random titles of influence in the media to put on a list and claim that Christians, or those of other religious affiliations, own and run the media? How about the following, plus those mentioned above. . .

Well will you look at that! That's more than your list already, and I haven't even put a dent in it. I could go on for pages and pages and pages.

In short, let me see if I can put this in simple terms you can understand, Just making a list of Jews who work in the media/entertainment industry, does not prove that Jews own and run the media/entertainment industry.

[Equal-Opp.]

Let me get this straight. Beck could say our president has a deep hatred for white people, but Sanchez can't say jews run the media. I don't get this. please explain why some could say things and others can not?????

I agree.
