Rick Sanchez, John Stewart & the Truth of it all....

[burryp]

A muddled and unsuccessful argument:

A. The one example of Stewart's bigotry you offer (Kazman) is a correspondent piece done by someone else. (And you need more examples)

B. The Kazman example may provide evidence of unfairness or unscrupulous editing, but in what sense does that rise to the level of "bigotry"?

C. The Amy Goodman bit is a total non-sequitur: she's talking about criticism of Israel reflexively being labelled anti-semitic; Sanchez claimed that Jews control the media.

@burryp Ms. Aloni states that they are very powerful, they have a lot of money, ties are strong, "they are strong in this country, as you know, they have power.....power/money and uh media and other things" It's about an agenda and the agenda comes from a place of ugliness, reverse bigotry and more..

American Jews make up only 2% of the population of America. Yet: they hold 36% of all post-graduate degrees, 46% make over $100,000 per year, they make up 15% of the U.S. Senate, 13% of the U.S. House of Representatives, 67% of members of the Board of the Federeal reserve, 33% of the U.S. Supreme Court. Media: Just taking CNN only, 55% of corporate officers for TBS, which owns CNN, are Jewish. On air, Larry King, John King, Howard Kurtz, Eliot Slpitzer, Joy Behar, Paula Zahn, etc..

Maybe I'm a bit naive here, but I liked Rick Sanchez. He wasn't always interesting, but more interesting than most. Maybe I liked his show because he was NOT like all the other journalists. I hope some news organization hires him and I hope he does well. CNN just hired Eliot Spitzer and he has a blot on his record, so maybe there's hope for Rick.

Jewish people are, pound for pound, the most well off people in the United States. A great percentage are college educated and have professional occupations. They are incredibly disproportionately represented in government and the media. what's the freaking big whoop? Everybody knows this. At worst, these simple facts tend to suggest high achievement and perhaps a bit of nepotism, not too bad really. But, when you fire someone for pointing it out it looks EVIL and oppressive.
