THE LIE: “Jon Stewart is a comedian and does a satirical show”
THE TRUTH: “Jon Steward is an unethical, irresponsible lunatic-left d-crat socialist elitist who ridicules and mocks real Americans to promote the socialist extremists.”

Hey Rick, I guess you finally wound up on ”The List You Don’t Want To Be On”. 

“Your credibility as an anchor depends on your neutrality…”

Exactly why Katie Couric’s ratings have gone down the toilet.

BTW, why did Rich Sanchez call himself “the little Puerto Rican guy”? Isn’t he Cuban?

I have to wonder if CNN was looking for an excuse and Sanchez gave them one.Sanchez was an awful anchor regularly doing dumb things.He obviously had a contract and CNN would have needed cause to fire him,and they got it,just another dumb thing Sanchez did/said.Sanchez had become more or less a laughing stock and that means comedian fodder.As for Stewart,he has blurred the lines of comedy and ideology for some time now,crossing back and forth as the need suits him.I don’t think you can simply call him or his show just comedy but it isn’t just commentary either.Same with Colbert although Colbert is more satirical.My main beef is that Stewart thinks he’s more than what he really is and that he actually matters,he does not.

Cuban. Puerto Rican. What’s the difference?

You could NOT be MORE RIGHT!!!11 The SOCIALISTS are hiding everywhere – in our NEWSROOMS, in our CLASSROOMS, in the BUSHES… and the LEFTY sympathizers like Jon Stewart simply FEED this BEAST!!!1 Also THANK you for using the word “socialist” TWICE!!!1 It really emphasizes what a TOTALLY REAL THREAT it is!!!!11 Oh and also he is a LUNATIC!!!!1 God Bless you sir, and God Bless the Tea Party Nation that you and our fellow Right-Thinking Americans on this website PROUDLY REPRESENT with our WIT, INTELLIGENCE, and MATURITY!!!!111

Maybe the real reason he got fired was he gave the brand new boss a good excuse to let him go – at a time when the network is having a rough patch. Most working people would keep their head down if their old boss, who championed them, just got fired. Bosses like to have staff that support them and maybe owe them something. They don’t like subordinates who go public with their criticism.

Mklitt, that is a completely reasonable analysis of the situation, spoken like someone who knows what they’re talking about. It was fair, intelligent, and devoid of any political ideaology one way or the other.

My point is … what the HELL are you doing in this comments section?

I’m sure that he was on the way out anyways. This was a perfect excuse. He may not have been fired completely from CNN before this, but he sure wasn’t going to hold onto that prime time slot nor that visibility.

It was a joke! Some of my best friends are Puerto Rican. Or was it Cuban?

Rick, Spitzer, and CNN are all JOKES!

No one laughs at this routine. Although they may be laughing at you for your imbecility in posting this nonsense day after day.

Your tired routine is just

tired

Stewart wouldn’t make fun of Sanchez’s (let’s play along) “ethnicity.” Making fun of third-world brown people is a no-no. However, some snotty ny jew making fun of a big dumb white guy pretending to be an oppressed minority simply because his last name is “sanchez” is a-ok.

His teammates think he’s brilliant.

You mean he isn’t?

Sanchez getting fired is not good. I’m worried that he may decide to get drunk, drive haphazardly down the road, and then plow into some innocent dude, putting the guy in a wheelchair only for him to die a few years later.

I hope this doesn’t happen.

You sure you’re not Gordon Bloyer?

Jesus.. this Jamie McIntyre you quote.. notice she’s a FORMER employee ???

her comments asto why they fired Rick.. how the hell would she know why they fired him?

There is no doubt he had a contract and he broke it. Her comments that he wasn’t fired for what he did on cnn.. well again, she’s ignorant. As a so called journalist/tv commentator his behavior on and off the air is accountable to his employer.

He trashed his employer, he whined about his own oppression as a hispanic, he thinks Jon made fun of him BECAUSE he’s hispanic, and he thinks (and called) a celeb (Jon) a bigot.

end of story.. I listened to the entire 45 min audio rant of Rick’s. It was crazy, it was stunning to listen to him go on and on and on whining about his own oppression… Then the Jew crap.. he didn’t have to bring that up.. but he did and showed he himself is a bigot.

BTW on 3 or 4 occasions the radio host said to Rick that Jon is a comedian.. or he said “he’s an entertainer” or “he’s a stand up comic”. Every single time Rick got hysterical and YELLED, ” NO HE’S NOT!”.

IT WAS STUNNING

here’s the entire long Rick Sanchez rant:

Well, you right wing loons may not think he matters, but every dang author that has a book to promote does as they all show up on his show to promote it. As do various x presidents and present presidents (Afghanistan). Is Jon a comedian? yes, but he’s a smart comedian is brilliantly insightful to call out what is wrong with our media today.

As for the 1st post from the psychotic teabagger.. they should be stopped before they can get to a voting booth, put into a straight jacket, and taken away never to see the light of day again. They are INSANE.

The panel on Reliable Sources did come out with a consensus. Rick Sanchez is a clown.

ok, see, you should have said, you are an only child and you live with your mother and your sister……

Now that Sanchez is gone as source material, how about this as a skit for the Daily Show: A comedian (Lets say we call him Mr. Leibowitz) whose career thrives on the personnel foibles and basic character flaws of others changes his given name from its Jewish Heritage to a common English name (Lets say Jon Stewart) to curry wider audience favor.

Is that a right winger hiding behind that anti-semite persona?

I had no idea Rich was Cuban. I thought he was one of the white Mexicans who never mixed with the Amerindians.

K…. I’m already tired of this story… until Sanchez himself speaks on it, I’ve heard pretty much all I need to hear. He’s an embarrassment to the news business.

I think Jamie McIntyre’s interjection into the above Paul Farhi quote: (Stewart) “is more of a media critic than a comedian” is an accurate distinction.

Stewart mocked Sanchez because Sanchez is a tool, and provided ample material. CNN canned him because he had horrible ratings and it was the excuse they were looking/waiting for.

This is exactly why you’re unfunny. Any good satirist will tell you that you have to (1) understand your subject; and, (2) have a core of sympathy for your subject even as you’re tearing the subject down. You have neither. You take liberal anger and turn it into what you think conservatives think, but you don’t understand conservatism well enough to parody it. Instead, you wind up sounding like a shrill, pedantic punk.

All of these media people are morons that work on people’s fears or belief’s to get ratings and make money.
Why can’t we go back to the days when we had reporters and not opinion giving mongers!

“A comedian (Lets say we call him Mr. Leibowitz) whose career thrives on the personnel foibles and basic character flaws of others changes his given name from its Jewish Heritage to a common English name (Lets say Jon Stewart) to curry wider audience favo”

—Hey asshole, almost everyone changes their name in Hollywood. It’s called MARKETING, even Arnold Schwartznegger was told to change his name although ironically, he didn’t do it.

John Stewart wanted a name that appeals to everyone and doesn’t typecast him. Oh, and if jews control the media how come Rich Sanchez had a job on CNN? Oh wait, Ted Turner isn’t Jewish, so how does that control of the media work? Gee.

It is ironic that some would defend Jon Stewart pointing out Stewart has never attacked Sanchez specifically on his ethnic heritage. This logic apparently means Stewart can’ t possibly be a bigot. Yet all criticism and/or mockery of Obama similarly not related to his racial heritage is de facto proof of rightwing racism to these same Stewart defenders.

Good point M Colins! It works both ways, that’s why the far left and the far right are both MORONIC in their beliefs. We need a new independent party that’s somewhat socially liberal but fiscally conservative. Hey maybe Trump will fill this role in 2012? :)

TeaPartyPatriot says: “THE TRUTH: “Jon Steward is an unethical, irresponsible lunatic-left d-crat socialist elitist who ridicules and mocks real Americans to promote the socialist extremists.”

This is the kind of insane nonsense coming from the likes of Beck. Yes, he’s addressed Stewart. This Tea Party “patriot” is exactly the reason why these far right extremists need to be kept away from the reigns of power: they’re nuts!

TPP: Stewart is a comedian, a liberal comedian. Beck is a rodeo clown, a reactionary clown.

http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/06/what-is-glenn-beck-politically.html

Who are so lame as to follow a rodeo clown? The Tea Party “patriots.” Jefferson, meanwhile, was heard spinning in his grave.

Fineman said, “but it’s odd to take on Jon Stewart. I mean, Rick Sanchez doesn’t seem to realize that Jon Stewart is a comedian and does a satirical show, and that Rick Sanchez provided the raw material for Jon Stewart to make fun of…He absolutely needs a thicker skin.”

Isn’t the problem is that Rick Sanchez is plenty thick-skinned — above the neck?

Considering the success that some even bigger morons have enjoyed, It’ll be interesting to see where Rick lands. I’d think more towards reality TV than Fox News.

writer says: “Cuban. Puerto Rican. What’s the difference?”

Holy crap; it’s as if you are always trying to make a bigger ass of yourself than you did the day before. When did ignorance become rewarded? Oh, right: when Beck got contracts to be on TV.

Could well be that Sanchez did not realize that Stewart is a clown. Rick is very naive & gullible, & that’s always been easy to see. Not a sophisticated guy. But not filled with hate either. Unlike the Fox goons, et al.
