I can't wait till CNN dumps Rick Sanchez. Before he moved up to CNN, Sanchez worked many years for channel 7 (WSVN) local news in Fort Lauderdale. I thought we were finally rid of his fat face until he showed up again years later at CNN.
After Hurricane Andrew hit Miami in 1992, there was a benefit concert in Miami for the victims. Weatherman Jim Brosmer of channel 4 walked out on stage and got a standing ovation for his coverage of the storm and other charitable work in the aftermath.
Later Rich Sanchez went out, and was booed off the stage.

Damn, I never thought Stewart would wake up. Even if you don't like Stewart you've gotta watch this, he actually hits every point about Obama that everyone with common sense has been saying for a long time. Very funny stuff.
It feels like Bizarro World today.

Jon Stewart has been on a roll as far as fairness goes. Like I said in another thread, check his "coverage" of the Alan Grayson Taliban Dan spot and the media's unwillingness to expose this (save, of course, FoxNews). I almost wonder if Stewart is suffering from a lack of enthusiasm.

...
Sanchez later tempered his comments, retracting his use of the word "bigot" and instead calling the Daily Show "essentially prejudicial - against anyone who doesn't agree with his point of view, which is very much a white liberal establishment point of view."
... Doesn't sound like a liberal considering he bashes Stewart for being liberal.
Fair play!

If the liberal media ever "woke up", they just fell back asleep again. Or skipping the fluffy metaphors, they've gone back to trashing conservatives: - THOUSANDS GATHER FOR 'ONE NATION' RALLY IN D.C.
Event serves in part of as counter-rally to Glenn Beck's last month
By PHILIP ELLIOTT
The Associated Press
updated 10/2/2010 2:39:17 PM ET
WASHINGTON — Tapping into the same anger that fuels the tea party movement, a coalition of progressive and civil rights groups marched Saturday on the Lincoln Memorial and pledged to support Democrats struggling to keep power on Capitol Hill.
"We are together. This march is about the power to the people," said MSNBC host Ed Schultz. "It is about the people standing up to the corporations. Are you ready to fight back?"
In a fiery speech that opened the "One Nation Working Together" rally on the National Mall, Schultz blamed Republicans for shipping jobs overseas and curtailing freedoms. He borrowed some of conservative commentator Glenn Beck's rhetoric and vowed to "take back our country."
"This is a defining moment in America. Are you American?" Schultz told the raucous crowd of thousands. "This is no time to back down. This is time to fight for America."
With a month of campaigning to go and voter unhappiness high, the Democratic-leaning organizers hope the four-hour program of speeches and entertainment energizes activists who are crucial if Democrats are to retain their majorities in the House and Senate. The national mood suggests gains for the GOP, and Republicans are hoping to ride voter anger to gain control of the House and possibly the Senate.
Organizers insist the rally is not partisan. They say the message is about job creation, quality education and justice. However, the largest organizations, such as the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union, tend to back Democratic candidates.
And the first speakers hardly shied from criticizing Republicans.
"They want to change this country," Schultz warned participants of Republicans.
More than 400 organizations — ranging from labor unions to faith, environmental and gay rights groups — partnered for the event, which comes one month after Beck packed the same space with conservatives and tea party-style activists.
Beck and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gathered near the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech to urge a vast crowd to embrace traditional values. Though also billed as nonpolitical, the rally was widely viewed as a protest against the policies of President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.
One Nation organizers said they began planning their event before learning about Beck's rally, and said Saturday's march is not in reaction to that.
Obama was spending the weekend at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
Tea Party protestors --rather than portrayed as sincere protestors of socialist policy because it is radically changing the nation and threatening us with loss of individual rights, encroaching on our lives with heavy taxes and authoritarian control-- are portrayed by the AP as " hoping to ride voter anger to gain control", with no more implied legitimate or worthy goal than fear and exploitation. While the same article glows with praise of the opposing liberal rally. I also love how the rally attempts to "join us together as a nation" by demonizing and blaming everything on the Republicans. That would be the same Senate who could (until Scott Brown) ram through laws without a single Republican vote by a Democrat supermajority? And an overhelming majority that still exists in the House? Also rich is "Organizers insist the rally is not partisan. They say the message is about job creation, quality education and justice. However, the largest organizations, such as the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union, tend to back Democratic candidates.""Tend to back?" Puh-LEASE! AFL-CIO, and especially SEIU are the brownshirted footsoldiers in Obama's street army of intimidators of any dissent. And they have clearly received benefits and political favors for their work in gwetting Obama elected, and continuing to intimidate dissenters. It is disingenuous to so vastly understate that these groups "tend to lean toward" the Democrats. Quite obviously to anyone who is not an AP liberal media writer, that is a remarkably inadequate euphemism for the mercenary strong-arm thugs for Obama that they truly are, and the grants they have received from the Obama administration for their dirty work. Dozens of youtube videos of SEIU members beating up and harassing town hall and Tea Party protestors are testament to this, often wearing SEIU tea shirts while unleashing their thug violence. Likewise the federal funding and favors bestowed on ACORN for their part in getting Obama elected with every dirty trick in the book. Government funds that were only cut off due to the scandal unveiled by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles.

Wondy, you linked to MSNBC. That's like linking to FOX and complaining they're bashing the White House. CNN may have "woken", but MSNBC and FOX will always be the extremes that will never "wake up" when it comes to fair reporting...

CNN may have "woken", but MSNBC and FOX will always be the extremes that will never "wake up" when it comes to fair reporting... As many polls have shown, Fox is actually quite balanced in its news coverage. Fox had the most balanced coverage of the 2008 presidential campaign for example, negative stories of Obama and negative stories of McCain were both 45%. And the Center For Journalistic Excellence quantified that and said Fox had the most balanced coverage. All the other networks were around 80/20 and 75/35 , way skewed for Obama. If Fox is "right leaning" in its news coverage, it is only relative to the extreme left skew of the combined liberal media.

Nah. FOX is the extreme Right, and MSNBC is slanted hard Left. All the polls in the world won't change that fact. Unlike how you changed your article quote to not look like a link to MSNBC...

But the source of the article is clear, so spare me the bogus drama.

Probably something in their methodology might account for any odd finding like that. They're conservative just like MSNBC is liberal.

What drama?? What are you talking about? You linked to MSNBC to report that the media was liberal. Well, my answer to that is: No shit. Link to FOX and show me Liberal. Oh wait, that's right, I forgot. They're perfect and The Good Guy, and the rest of the media is Liberal. I really need to read your rule book so I can keep up with who is Good and who is Bad in the world...

I do think you sometimes confuse the FOX commentators with their news coverage. FOX definitely is stacked with Conservative commentators but they at least present both sides of the story in their news stories unlike MSNBC.

Perhaps, but it is said commentators that set the tone for all info presented. I've been burned on O'Reilley and Beck and nutbags like that. Can't trust any channel with an agenda. And whether FOX is "more fair" than the others, the point is that the agenda still exists...

Is it really a plus for FOX that those here with the strongest anti-liberal bias think the network is fair? It seems the only thing the two sides can agree on is if something like MSNBC is biased towards liberals.

I really don't consider Bill O'Reilly a conservative. When I was talking conservative commentators I mean Beck, Hannity ect. O'Reilly is likely the most independent commentator with a show on TV.

Is it really a plus for FOX that those here with the strongest anti-liberal bias think the network is fair? I don't think that is the case. Rating and polls show that FOX is the most trusted source for news amongst ALL Americans. This leads me to believe it's the fact that people get to hear both sides of an issue. Which to me, no matter my philosophical leanings is very important. I have had very strong opinions in the past and been swayed by information or arguments contrary to those beliefs. If I'm watching/reading/listening to the news I want to hear both sides.

On another note, has The Daily Show responded to the Rick Sanchez firing yet? I couldn't find any vids on YouTube about it. EDIT: Oh, wait, it just happened on Friday. Hot damn, I cannot WAIT for Monday's episode then.

Jimmy Fallon, Sarah Silverman, Jim Gaffigan, Lewis Black, Joel McHale, Lewis Black, Robin Williams and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog also appeared. So did Paul Simon, offering to help out as Morgan and Rock closed the show with an off-key, lyrics-mangling version of Scarborough Fair. Lewis Black appeared twice!
