Rick Sanchez fired from CNN? Come back Rick! Or, at least that's what some people are saying. In a whirlwind of events that started with an unorthodox interview in which Sanchez called Jon Stewart a bigot and bashed the media industry, claiming it was "ran by Jews." However, Sanchez has a strong fan base. He's controversial, and fit in quite well with CNN. He believes in illegal immigration - but only if the immigrants are Latino. He's outspoken, and one of Jon Stewart's regular targets.
Over 1,700 people have joined a Facebook page to bring Rick Sanchez back. Some people say they are even boycotting CNN until he's back in the game. Somehow, I don't think that these viewers will be tuning in to FOX.
They're more likely to be an MSNBC crowd.
So what do you think about Bring Rick Back? Are you mad that Rick Sanchez was fired from CNN?
keep him off CNN, his show was a bad joke
ReplyDeleteHe is too cocky and should have been stuck to a script!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he is gone, and I'm a latina.
ReplyDeletewhat did he say? did he said jon stewart was a bigot? then fire his ass! who's the bigot now?
ReplyDeletethis is absolutely ridiculous - RICK SANCHEZ was a joke when he was an anchor in MIAMI an he was a bigger joke on CNN. So much mis-information and exploitation news it was unbelievable. A sensationalist who was self absorbed. Glad he's gone. Sanchez probably didn't mean to call people an actual bigot - he probably doesn't really know what the word means he's that stupid.
ReplyDeleteBring Rick back
ReplyDeletePlease.... please.... do NOT bring Rick back. I change the channel when he comes on. He makes mistakes. He is racist. He is cocky. He called the AZ anti ILLEGAL law.... an "ANTI IMMIGRATION" law. WOW... no wonder people are against it passing, with irresponsible people like that on the air. He really needed to be knocked off his high horse. THANK YOU CNN... Now I can watch without having to see or hear him. And believe me I am not alone.
ReplyDeleteRick is flawed , but there is nothing incorrect about his statements about Jon or the media! Seem like everyone making a coment here lives in another world...!
ReplyDeleteWell, I liked Rick!!!! And I think he was half right!
ReplyDeleteAnd you all know which half - but you had better not say it!
Free speech? Ha.
Mystery is how did he survive on CNN so long?
ReplyDeleteEvery time Rick Sanchez spoke you could tell he loved hearing HIMSELF talk. I am a news junkie and listen to different networks, but Rick Sanchez was unwatchable. God he is stupid!
ReplyDeleteRick Sanchez was just TOO hispanic and did not fit in on CNN. He was bilingual and at times I heard him speak in spanish when interviewing non-native speakers and as an American I do not like to hear other languages. Thats why most CNN anchors are better suited because they only speak my language. Beside I have noticed that some bi-lingual speakers misspeak or may not convey their point as clearly as someone who does not have their thinking clouded by those other un-American languages. Good job John Stewart for beating up on "dirty sanchez" after Rick was fired. I think Stewart really demonstrated how a "real american" should treat those people.
ReplyDeleteI was glad when cnn replaced cambell brown with Rick Sanchez. I had eveb switched to cnn from msnbc at 7 p.m. now i'm going back to msnbc. i can't stand fox
ReplyDeleteYOu can keep Ricky, Bring back Cambell Brown!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a latina and I cannot stand Rick Sanchez, please do not bring him back if you do I will quit watching CNN. He is a cocky, know it all, egostistical, self centered latino. I am so happy he is off the air, I am having a party to commemorate this great event, my question is: Why did it take CNN so long to fire him?

What happened to Oliver Stone is a good case study. The Wall Street Journal reported this past summer that Stone said that “public opinion was focused on the Holocaust because of ‘Jewish domination of the media.’” Stone also said that the Jews “stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f—– up United States foreign policy for years.”
ReplyDeleteLike so many others before him, Stone groveled: “In trying to make a broader historical point about the range of atrocities the Germans committed against many people, I made a clumsy association about the Holocaust, for which I am sorry and I regret. Jews obviously do not control media or any other industry.”
How Jewish is Hollywood? That’s the question Los Angeles Times columnist Joel Stein asked two years ago just before Christmas. In answer, he wrote:
“When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.”
Needless to say, Stein was not fired for writing this, nor was he rebuked in the least. As we have seen time and again, there is a glaring double standard about alluding to Jewish power in the media. Jews are free to reference it, but woe unto the non-Jew who wades into those shark-infested waters.
Joe Sobran who died this past week had this to say about Jewish media power:
“Jewish control of the major media in the media age makes the enforced silence both paradoxical and paralyzing. Survival in public life requires that you know all about it, but never refer to it. A hypocritical etiquette forces us to pretend that the Jews are powerless victims; and if you don’t respect their victimhood, they’ll destroy you. It’s a phenomenal display not of wickedness, really, but of fierce ethnocentrism, a sort of furtive racial superpatriotism.”
In 1996, reprinted in the May 27th issue of the New York Times, by Ari Shavit, an Israeli columnist describing his feelings on the killings of a hundred civilians in a military skirmish in southern Lebanon. Shavit wrote, “We killed them out of a certain naive hubris. Believing with absolute certitude that now, with the White House, the Senate, and much of the American media in our hands, the lives of others do not count as much as our own.”
Peace.

Who is damn Rick Sanchez?
ReplyDeleteI watch FOX News anyway.
ReplyDeleteRick was one the few who continually answered his own questions before guests and reporters had either a chance to respond or finish responding.
ReplyDeleteRick's problem on air for one thing, was he controlled too much of the show. I agree with the person above in that he should have been chained to a script. Goodbye, so-long and good luck Rick.
I loved RICK and now I dont watch CNN @ noon BRING RICK BACK PLEASE I am CANADIAN and LOVE MIAMI and his LOVE for this CITY ....
ReplyDeletei might starting watching Jon stewart, he sounds interesting
ReplyDeleteCampbell Brown was too smart. Rick Sanchez was too dumb. Apparently, CNN shoots for the middle. It's amazing that in order to find out what's really happening, you have to watch The Daily Show.
ReplyDeleteRick Sanchez was my favorite on CNN. He was just recently promoted to Prime Time and now they fire him. I can not believe it. He comes across to me as honest and understands what it is like to be poor and to suffer from prejudice.I also like that he is bilinqual and can interview people from Mexico CNN which does a really good job of telling the news by the way. I just wish I understood Spanish and then I would switch to CNN in spanish.I hope that he is back on CNN soon.
ReplyDeleteRick Sanchez was the only one on CNN that I trusted. I did not agree with everything he said, but he was an honest man of the people. I think that it was a great injustice to dismiss him from CNN.
ReplyDeletesign the petition to bring back rick sanchez http://www.petitiononline.com/ptrrs/petition.html
ReplyDeleteIt is very sad that cnn fired Rick Sanchez. He is or should i say the only latino at cnn. That enjoyed watching. I feel that cnn really does not care for latino people. I much as I regret i will no longer watch cnn. I felt at a had an with a person that reprted the news in english but also new spanish it was a treated to get to watch him. I hope to see again where he belongs on tv reporting the news.
