CNN immediately fired Sanchez last Friday, removing his website profile. Then CNN enlisted Howard Kurtz to talk badly about him on Kurtz' show, Reliable Sources. A move this space called "Classless."
Also, Rick Sanchez has apologized to Jon Stewart via his wife's Facebook page (his Facebook page, used for his CNN shows, has been removed).
Still A Hot Issue
Rick Sanchez' firing is still a hot issue, and threatens to reach this blogger's 12 day time span for important Internet stories. Thursday, the day that Rick's comments surfaced one week ago, marks seven days. Tuesday of next week will be 12 days.
According to Google Insight for Search, as of this writing, "Rick Sanchez" went from just below "20" in search intensity October 1st, to almost 100 by October 2nd, then dropped to 40 the next day, and gradually fell to 30 on Tuesday, October 5th. The prediction here is that by next Tuesday, Rick's name will return to it's "pre-scandal" levels of intensity.
Not Fueled By Television
All of this isn't fueled by television, but by the Internet. While the issue started with Rick being removed from a TV show, with the exception of Howard Kurtz' show, and ABC's The View's discussion on Monday, there's been little on television about the issue. But one weekend television program that invests 15 minutes of it's time to the matter of Rick Sanchez' CNN firing could boost the search numbers, yet again.
Stay tuned.
I thought the Jews controlled all media, either by ownership or management presence. That is not to say Israel has that control but, make a Jew joke, instant firing. Sounds like control to me. I saw on another blog that Jews were caucasian. Judaism is a religion but it has a racial context too.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a public flogging, it view between 2 people. Problems always persist over race, and religion. I do know one thing this has demeaned Rick Sanchez to the extent. I do not feel he should have been fired. Is not this country about free speech. I am a catholic and all I always see if the Catholic problem everywhere. Yet, the other religions do not get the constant airtime. Every religion has issues,and problems, however Catholics are the scapegoat of the media. Even our holidays. It's so bad the
ReplyDeletemovies and television show always us catholics as a joke to be made. What is going on here.
Call be crazy (many have), but I suspect this whole thing is an elaborate, good-natured hoax to make a point...and that all will be revealed by the time John Stewart's and Steven Colbert's rallies take place on October 30. What is the "point"? We're all being punked for our generalized outrage...all of us...depending on whose ox is being gored...and for those of us who seem to cherish our outrage, prejudices and scapegoating. Sure it's fueled by the media, but we have to look at our personal responsibility. That's not to say that there are not very real injustices in the world, but, in my opinion, we have to look for better ways of righting wrongs...develop some compassion, common sense and realize that we all share a planet and have a right to be here.
