Sanchez Knocks Fox: “Don’t You Have To Be A News Organization To Get That Seat?”

video
» 110 comments

Helen Thomas isn’t the only one unhappy with Fox News getting the front row White House briefing room seat (along with a bunch of online campaigners).

Today Rick Sanchez asked CNN’s White House Correspondent Ed Henry if you “had to be a news organization to get that seat.”

“Don’t you have to be a news organization to get that seat?” he said to Henry, who responded: “Oh are you saying Fox is not a news organization?”

Henry explained: “I was wearing by board hat, not my CNN hat…And their White House reporter, regardless of what Rick may think about some of their other hosts…Major Garrett, Mike Emanuel, Wendell Goler are all solid reporters.”

Sanchez pulled back his critique a bit after that. “Their dayside stuff is solid,” he said.

Here’s the exchange:

    I can understand that the lifers at CNN and MSNBC are envious of the more successful Fox News, but they should really focus more on covering the news and not obsessing about their leading competitor while in front of the camera. It makes them look petty and jealous. If they want to turn around their ratings and restore their wounded credibility, they need to take the cue from Fox — and report all the news, not just the stories approved by the DNC.

  • Azarkhan

    Good news:

    A judge on Monday refused to dismiss the state of Virginia’s challenge to President Barack Obama’s landmark healthcare law, a setback that will force his administration to mount a lengthy legal defense of the overhaul effort.
    U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson refused to dismiss the state’s lawsuit which argues the law’s requirement that its residents have health insurance was unconstitutional, allowing the challenge to go forward.

    “The guiding precedent [on the Commerce Clause] is informative but inconclusive. Never before has the Commerce Clause and Necessary and Proper Clause been extended this far….”

    Just because Murdoch has dual citizenship does not make him loyal to the U.S. over the British commonwealth to which he has sworn his loyalty since boyhood. Fortunately, most of the time our interests coincide with those of the commonwealth, but not always. Does FOX offer so much defense and support of British Petroleum because that is the conservative republican thing to do, or because the commonwealth will be crippled if BP flounders?

    How hard must it have been to narrow that list down to 10? Talk about a tough assignment!

  • Puter Boi

    Just a reminder:

    In the 1980’s Rick Sanchez was working at Channel 7, now WSVN, in Miami., when wiretaps recorded him trading favors with Alberto San Pedro, a political player known in Miami and the city of Hialeah as The Great Corrupter. Sanchez was forced to leave his job and Miami as the scandal widened. San Pedro went to prison and Sanchez, with what was left of his dignity, moved to Houston, Texas and worked there for years before returning to South Florida……ask Jeffrey Smuzinick’s family what happened after that.

    No. You specifically got that part wrong, in that it is the perspective of the Mormons that America is the new Zion, and that the essential judgement of God of the last days is taking place in America. Once people believe that these are the last days, as many Mormons and millions of Christians believe, then, if you are a Mormon, if you believe these are the last days, then you are sure that America is headed for decline, with roving bands of undead gathering the corpses are on the horizon, then your perspective is black. You expect decline, and are looking for signs of it to justify yourself. That is Glenn, that is the Mormons.

    No, check it out, the descriptions by Mormon prophets are hideous. Oh the misery. With the roving bands, etc. Why do Mormons, including Glenn, stockpile food, supplies, guns, seeds, and whatever? Because they see the culture falling apart, the economy collapsing, money losing its value, bad guys running the government, fending off scavenders out looking for food, etc. You think the purpose of those guns and supplies is for any reason except to survive the great ordeal that America must inevitably suffer, imminently, because, of course, these are the “last days”? Hey, when you have already got your survival gear in place and stockpiles of food and guns taking up half the space in your survival bunker, then it is safe to say you are pretty sure the end is near. And if you are a commentator with millions of followers and that is your message, with a bad guy under every bush, and a communist in the white house, you are essentially winning over converts to the dark last days view of the Mormons.

    Everyone is free to do their own thing. No doubt about that. My only point is that Glenn is a Mormon, and he does believe these are the last days, and for the Mormons, in the last days, America melts down. Glenn is preaching his religious faith, the dark view, the meltdown is imminent view. The Mormon last days view. I am not saying that everyone who sees a dark future is a Mormon, but they do share the same dream. Glenn for sure is evangelizing.

    And a legitimately fantastic character. That is Glenn. You must admire him as a performer, an artist, and seriously, a kind of Rodeo Clown. He is a good man, though. I believe that. Confused, perhaps he did not know that the ordeal of the last days has past, and we are birth panging an era of love, truth, and world-wide goodwill. Not the dark Mormon ordeal.

  • valkyrie101

    For all of recorded time we have progressed and evolved naturally into an advanced culture. Why in the world would anyone think that the upward climb would end? To predict that, to believe that, to spread that fear, is simply ignorant based on observations of the past of the steady uphill climb of humanity. The world is on the cusp, more than at any other time in world history, of a unified world. As for the Islamics, just the moderates of our two sides need to agree on a peaceful resolution. Obama was born to do that. And he will, before his second term ends.

    WW II and the holocaust don’t quite fit in with your theory. Or for that matter communism in the Soviet Union, China, or elswhere.

    But me, I’m putting my money on an exploding world population, lack of natural resources and catastrophic destruction of the environment via pollution. Should all come together within the next 50 years.

    My only point is that Glenn is a Mormon, and he does believe these are the last days, and for the Mormons, in the last days, America melts down.

    I asked you how you know that last might and you failed to answer the question repeatedly. What leads you to believe that Mormons believe these are the end times, and what leads you to believe that Glenn specifically believes that? Don’t bother telling me that he’s a Mormon again. We all know this.

    I have a hard time getting worked up by anything Rick Sanchez says. First, he’s so stupid and un-self-aware that it’s almost unsportsmanlike to beat up on him. More importantly, no one watches him so he can’t do any harm.

    For these same reasons, I no longer sweat Matthews and Olbermann.

  • AmeriCuda

    The new face of CNN is this guy……

    On December 10, 1990, Sanchez struck a drunken pedestrian, Jeffrey Smuzinick, with his car on a residential street near Dolphin Stadium and left the scene, returning two hours later .[3] Smuzinick was paralyzed and eventually died in an assisted living facility on November 2, 1995.[1][3] Sanchez had just left an NFL football game with his father when the accident occurred, and a police breathalyzer exam determined that Sanchez’ own blood alcohol level was above the legal limit for driving.

    CNN must be so proud.

    “Helen Thomas isn’t the only one unhappy with Fox News getting the front row White House briefing room seat (along with a bunch of online campaigners).”

    Steve, why would you care what Helen Thomas, the racist bigot thinks. She is gone and for a very good reason.

    My advice to you is to quit worshiping people like her.

    At least the democrats have quit worshiping the KKK, granted they are still racist, but attitudes do not change over night.

    Yes, opposed to radical Islam, but not the 1.5 billion non-radical Islamics. And I am also opposed to those who use Christianity as an excuse to purge the world of heathens. Neither represent their respective religions.

    The world today is a far cry from the fifties and sixties when school children used to practice filing in an orderly fashion to the fall out shelter, or posing under their desks in a safe fetal position. To still be afraid of communism today, compared to past times, is just silly. The iron curtain fell, the bamboo curtain has been pierced, communism lost. And yes, it has been 60 years now since fascism lost too. But the radical Islamics, yes, they have the cowboys in their basement shaking in their boots.

    So your view is that culture has not been evolving, progessing, over the course of recorded history? That is what you believe? Its like Glenn, and the Mormons, say, that everything here in the U.S. is going to melt down? Here is a bed time story for you: http://eleaston.com/chicken.html

    Val, you seem to have a big problems with Mormons. Not much for religious tolerance, I guess. If you want to know what we believe, how about checking out the official church website, and not some Mormon-hating site.

    I have no problem with Mormons, and I completely tolerate them. However, they see the future of America, darkly, and I reject that. And it is relevent that Beck sees things that way, because he is trying to convince people that America is on the precipice of collapse, which, and correct me if I am wrong, is the Mormon view of the last days.

    @dandmb50 – So the best way to get your ratings up is to knock the competition? I remember that when I was in the schoolyard when I was eight. Maybe Rick is an official journalist, but times are a changin and people like to watch/listen to people who don’t constantly “interrupt” their guests.
    I guess Fox is getting under their skin, if they constantly try to shoot them down, they (Fox) must be doing something right.

    Rick you never cease to amaze me, your utter jealousy notwithstanding but what on earth do you know about News Organizations If you knew anything you would not be on that looser network you show up for. However, its nice to know you are still the snob, the arrogant leftist you always were and the very reason you will never work for a real news network. AND plz do not insult my intelligence by claiming CNN is or ever was a real News Outlet. IT isnt Really, it isnt
