Ziabari "Rick Sanchez is no longer with
the company. We thank Rick for his years of service
and we wish him well." This frosty statement was the
conclusion of Rick Sanchez's 6-year-long career with
the United States' cable news network, CNN. The award-winning Sanchez who had
served in CNN's Spanish service and covered the
September 11 attacks
for the network was fired on October 1 after granting
an interview to the Sirius XM's radio show "Stand Up
With Pete Dominick" in which he implied that the Jews
are dominating the mass media in the United States and
just pretend to be a downtrodden, subjugated minority. Sanchez criticized
CNN's
Jewish "Daily Show" comedian
Jon Stewart
for directing offensive jokes at him in his nightly
programs and called him a "bigot". Answering a
statement by Pete Dominick that Stewart belonged to a
Jewish minority, Sanchez said: "Yeah, very powerless
people. [laughs] He's such a minority. I mean, you
know, please. What—are you kidding? I'm telling you
that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and
a lot of people who run all the other networks are a
lot like Stewart. And to imply that somehow they, the
people in this country who are Jewish, are an
oppressed minority?" The skirmish between the two
renowned media personalities became public when
Stewart scoffed at Sanchez who had said in his "Rick's
List" show that he had received a Tweeter message from
the House Republican leader John Boehner. Stewart
called it a case of "send a twit a tweet". Sanchez
responded by telling Pete Dominick that Stewart
couldn't tolerate the media achievements of somebody
who is of an ethnic minority: "He's upset that someone
of my ilk is almost at his level." Rick Sanchez explained that he
grew up in a poor family whose members, including his
father and mother, were subject to prejudice and
oppression due to their Hispanic ethnicity. He
complained that someone with a sumptuous background
such as Jon Stewart can't relate to what he has
experienced during his life. "I can't see someone not getting
a job these days because they're Jewish," he said. And Sanchez is right. The most
prominent
media conglomerates of the United
States are being run by influential Jews. Turner
Broadcasting System's chairman and CEO Philip I. Kent
is a Jew, TimeWarner's CEO
Jeffrey Bewkes is a Jew, FOX
NewsCorp's CEO
Peter Chernin is a Jew,
Chairman of the Board
of the
National Amusements theater chain
Sumner Redstone
is a Jew, Paramount CEO's Brad Grey is a Jew, Walt
Disney/ABC's
CEO Robert Iger is a Jew, CBS's
CEO
Leslie Moonves is Jew and
NBC Universal's CEO Jeff
Zucker is a Jew. By firing the Cuban-American news
anchor and host, CNN demonstrated that those who
assert that the United States is a "beacon of freedom"
just make baseless and unfounded claims. Although the circle of Zionist
journalists began to applaud CNN for firing Sanchez
immediately after the statement of his expulsion was
released, the public opinion is well aware of the
veracity of what Sanchez tried to imply. The
mainstream media which are linked to the multinational
corporations are being controlled by a troupe of
well-off propagandists who advocate the interests of
the state of Israel in the United States and raise
funds to holdup
AIPAC and other Zionist lobbies.
Over the past decades, pro-Israel
billionaires and influential Jews made serious
attempts to take over the media companies of the
United States and promote their interests this way. In
April 2007, a Chicago billionaire, Sam Zell bought the
Tribune Company
which is America's third largest newspaper chain and
includes the
Chicago Tribune, the
Los Angeles Times,
Newsday and 23 TV stations. Zell is a major
contributor to AIPAC. There are several such instances
which show that the media in the United States have
simply lost their independence and succumbed to the
Zionist lobbies. Whoever tries to cross the red line
by touching on this issue will be silenced, even at
the cost of switching off the beacon of freedom! - Kourosh Ziabari is an Iranian
