Rick Sanchez Names MSNBC, Olbermann, Maddow To “List U Don’t Want 2 Be On”

video
» 35 comments

On the heels of John King‘s MSNBC/FNC related segment last night, his colleague Rick Sanchez threw MSNBC on “The List U Don’t Want 2 Be On” today.

After reading Bill Burton‘s quote about MSNBC, Sanchez launched into his monologue about how he’s happy he’s not a White House friend or foe.

Before putting the network on his “list,” Sanchez said he tried to contact Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann for comment, but they weren’t available. Olbermann did respond on Twitter after: “Thanks to everybody who tweeted me about @ricksanchezcnn I had no idea my first fill-in host was back on tv! Way to go, Rick, congrats!”

Back to the segment. “In an effort to praise them, Burton has actually revealed MSNBC’s bias,” said Sanchez. “Or at least what the White House perceives as their bias.”

More, and a knock on both MSNBC and FNC:

Since when is news supposed to have a limited point of view? Only progressive? Oh that’s right. I just remembered. Ever since Fox decided to give mostly the conservative, Republican side, then MSNBC followed suit with mostly the liberal, Democratic side. I guess I forgot.

Sanchez said that, like King, he’s glad he’s at CNN and not part of either side in this. “I wasn’t necessarily liked by the Bush White House, and I don’t think I’m particularly liked by the Obama White House as well,” he said. “And you know what, that’s the way I like it.”

And that’s not some “psycho babble“. Check it out here:

    Rick should Google the term “Clinton News Network”.

    Pablo, we’re in 2010 now. Get with the program please.
    That’s just as pathetic as when Obama blames Bush for everything.

  • TfT

    Team Obama doesn’t know who Rick is, and Rick like John is just trying to get CNN some talk. Bottom line, John was right regarding how Obama said “listen to all sides” and then said essentially only his side is the right side and the other side is destructive.

    NBC really must be embarrassed about all this though, given that he himself singled out MSNBC as his single and most vociferous guard dog — yup MSNBC has his back, he knows it, we all know it. CNN carries his water for sure, but they don’t claim on air that it is “my job to make sure this President succeeds”

    Keith’s tweet is just plain stupid.

  • Azarkhan

    Coupled with what John King said earlier, it’s clear that CNN is trying to portray itself as a middle-of-the-road alternative to Fox News and MSNBC. Of course, it’s not. CNN definitely skews left, but at least it rarely devolves into complete idiocy like we see nightly on MSNBC.

    Let’s hope that one day, when the leftists at Mediaite finally mature, they will realize that Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz are complete fools.

    Um, I guess I may not know much about politics, because I’m pretty sure that Obama is still the president after November 2, 2010. Much the same way Clinton was still the president after 1994, and subsequently, 1996. Also, Emanuel had always said he was going to leave if he had the chance to run for mayor of Chicago. And the opening came up. So, he’s not technically jumping ship. He’s always had his personal dingy tethered to the ship and ready to go.

    Rick, Glenn Beck was correct. You may be the dumbest guy on television news.

    You are, however, pretty good @ revising history. At least in this story.

    After living for years on CNN only, I can still remember when FOX & MSNBC were added by my cable company. At the time it was incredibly refreshing, llike having fresh, clear, cool water to drink after existing only on CNN’s muddy water.

    AT THAT TIME:
    (1) MSNBC wasn’t particularly liberal, more middle of the road. But CNN was very liberal as always.
    (2) FOX wasn’t particularly conservative. They just seemed that way when compared to CNN. Kind of like a syrupy southern girl would accuse Walter Cronkite of having a Yankee accent. The girl couldn’t see that SHE was the one with the accent because everyone she talked with had the same syrupy southern drawl.

    So how has the alphabet media changed?.
    MSNBC has taken the title of liberal bootlicker in chief away from CNN and gotten stupidly vicious about it.
    CNN still doesn’t realize that THEY are the ones with the accent. ie: clueless
    FOX did what all great American businesses do. They see a NEED and turn it into an OPPORTUNITY. By moving just a little to the right, they can earn the business of most of this country. Business which CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC didn’t appear to want. Today, as those guys flounder, and as Steve Krakauer has to create a “lightweight” ratings division so he doesn’t hurt their feelings, it is what they regret most.

    A few of you are thinking: “a LITTLE to the right?” Yes, that is correct. If you thought that, you are just like the syrupy southern accented girl who thinks EVERYONE ELSE has the accent, just because you are used to talking exclusively with people like yourselves. Attn: Glynnis

    Rick, you are just figuring this out? And you are in news?

    Rick: ” What happens if I don’t agree with all Progressive values….?”

    You are called a racist, bigot, homophobe or Islamophobe.

    So Rick put Keith on his rundown, then Keith will have Rick as his “Worser Person of the Week“. All this intrigue with dueling lists reminds me of the Kasey Kasem / Shadoe Stevens feud from the 90′s!

    Looks like CNN’s really wanting to be relevant again. Good for them.

    So true. The Left attacks Fox for being conservative, but in fact Fox doesn’t need to take a hard conservative line. Since all of the other networks have abandoned the middle, they have allowed Fox to control the vast majority of the audience — moderates, independents, conservatives and even many Democrats. The recent Pew Research survey showed that Fox has as many Democrats in its audience as either CNN or MSNBC. Except for the far left, Fox controls the field.

    If even one of the other news networks moved to the middle — note I am not saying move to the right, just to the middle — they could put a big dent in the Fox audience. But, what a laugh, none of these biased organizations (CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, PBS, ABC) will even consider taking a moderate stance. How pathetic can they get?

  • WildMan

    I’m still trying to figure out why MSNBC hasn’t changed their name to Comedy East. I mean with clowns like Ed Schultz, Keith Olberman, Joe Scarborough, Chris Matthews, Rachael Maddow & Dylan Ratigan as their talking heads they are very much like Comedy Central. Especially since no one in their right mind takes anything about MSNBC as serious, unless you count their weekend runs of Lockdown.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Mangan/100000213524770 David Mangan

    Lockdown is MSNBC in its most investigative mode and Wildman has named the Six Stooges that are [unintentionally] funnier than the original three!

    Arkansas Steve, I don’t think Glynnis is salvagable, and her attention span isn’t wide enough to accommodate any thought that isn’t far left. Reading her columns is like reading Ann Landers back in the day and being lectured by some old biddie who obviously has never been laid about love and sex and so on…. Or maybe Glynnis is Julia Child for fast food… So many other comparisons spring to mind, but Krakauer is bringing up her rear on the obsequious syncophant front begging for a better job as an openly lefty stooge than a Mediaite slot allows—-Dan Abrams, take heed…!

    I was going to say the same things.

    MSNBC is liberal and obsessed with FOX, CNN is left leaning and obsessed with MSNBC and FOX.
    FOX has some conservative/right leaning commentators and just does the news and commentary.
    Look who’s winning….

  • Sean68

    I’m curious to know which “progressive” values Sanchez disagrees with.

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    Sanchez said that, like King, he’s glad he’s at CNN and not part of either side in this. “I wasn’t necessarily liked by the Bush White House, and I don’t think I’m particularly liked by the Obama White House as well,” he said.

    Maybe, Sanchez, that’s because your a blooming idiot! It’s one of the few matters on which I agree with Beck, although I never got around to stating this in a post: Sanchez is a dork!

    That said, there is something to understanding the media bias. Fox is far right, and MSNBC has countered that with a progressive perspective on the news. Fox claims it’s “fair and balanced,” but that’s deceitful. MSNBC claims that it’s “the place for politics.” That’s true. CNN claims that it’s “the most trusted name in news.” That’s wishful thinking, although they are (I suspect) the most trustworthy name in news.

    On the right, you have those like Sean (I think I recognize him from AOL.) who views Sanchez as “progressive.” It is to a large extent a matter of perspective.

    Are you people serious? Fox doesn’t do news, it does entertainment based on news. Who in their right mind watches a news channel for entertainment? FOX viewers… that’s who… & that’s why they beat the other stations in ratings. But the thing is that the news shouldn’t be based on ratings, it’s based on factual information, in which MSNBC is pretty good at it. FOX gives you the gist of things and spin the $hit out of it to the hardcore right & the FOX viewers eat it up like slop. Well you are what you eat…

    As for CNN… to the highest bidder.
