Today on "FOX" news, they had a guest on who claimed that cnn would not cover the "ACORN" story, claiming that cnn wanted the unedited tapes before it would cover. Did I miss something or was that a make believe interview that u did with the CEO of ACORN???

Rick,
Don't back down from the fear and hate mongers at Fox....Amen Brother!

Rick,

You already know how fixed news is and thus, needed no response. Why is the GOP so concerned about the budget now and said nothing when Bush increased the size of government, turned a surplus into a deficit and started a war on a lie. They complaint about the czar's in the Obama administration, but said nothing about the 47 in the Bush administration. They are very disingenuous in their attacks. I believe everything did in the dark will come to the light .

Rusty

Way to go, Sanchez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rick you are my hero!!! thank you so much for exposing the truth on the real news for so many to see. Fox News claiming that they are "fair and balanced" is probably the biggest lie on television...CNN FTW!!!

Yup, CNN and MSNBC both covered it. Fox TV is somewhere out there, I can't stand watching it. My girl and I signed a petition saying that we are going to boycot any products advertised on Fox.

Yo Rick,

Fox only stated that you did very little reporting on the DC tea Party. That's a fact. If this were a left wing march, you would have been all over it. At least you're not as bad as MSNBS though and I think you're a good news man. Just going after the leader in the news business is your job. You're ju doing what you're told.

Rick, I was really hoping you'd ask Ken Blackwell how disenfranchising Ohio voters in the 2004 election contributes to American "values." Blackwell acting as a spokesman for values is like Sarah Palin acting as a spokeswoman for Mensa.

I think fact checking FOX could be a full time job! Does anyone but the conservative base take them seriously? Every time you watch one of their stories they hint at "ties to Al Queda"!

When I turn Fox News on, I feel as if I am being brainwashed. I normally get so irritated that I have to switch back to CNN to understand what is really happening, so no matter how many ads Fox puts out, fair and balanced people turn to CNN. Thank you CNN for keeping us honest with our own thinking.

Fox News is the most biased network, which I only watch for a good laugh every now and then. CNN & Rick- Why even acknowledge any of their attention craving antics? You are on a much higher caliber then them, and by even mentioning their name, you've let them win this round.

Great Job Rick. I'm done with FOX, with Limbaugh, Hannity, and the rest. I'm even thinking of changing my party designation in Florida to Democrat to make a statement, even though I've been a Republican all my life. They are all so out of line. I support the President of the United States!

FOX News long ago forgot to live by the adage,"It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." The Wingnuts at FOX can't stand opinions different than their own agenda.

I saw your segment, Rick, and I just wanted to thank you for it. Fox News wants people to think they have a monopoly on truth and their viewers buy into it. Extreme partisanship and promotion of protests hardly gives their viewers the ability to have an informed opinion. I watch a lot of CNN and I definitely have the sense that while there is a wacky fringe to the protests, most of the people there are far more sober and are afraid of the consequences of higher taxes and increasing deficit. As we should be. The protesters have gotten their message across, in my opinion, on CNN. But on CNN I don't have the sense that their opinions are being *forced* on me.

Thank you. I have the ability to make up my own damn mind.

CNN seems somewhat defensive on this one. And speaking of jumping on the bandwagon, the easy target is Fox News (as deserved as it might be). CNN reporting on Fox reporting on MSNBC reporting on CNN reporting on Fox... You get my point. I"m going to watch a rerun of Monk now.

I can hardly wait until your "you lie" video regarding FOX erroneous reporting is available. This will be seen by hundreds of thousands or even millions on the internet before it is all over. Heck, you may even beat the number of folks who viewed Susan Boyle when she was on Britain's Got Talent.

Fox says THEY come all the news? Where were THEY while all the other networks covered Obama's health care speech? They ran a reality show! THEY cover ALL the news? What a joke!!

Hey Rick,

I heard FOX speak of no other networks covering the Tea Party!!! Believe me, I watch both Fox and CNN and SEE what they are doing. I saw Tea Party on CNN before I saw it on FOX. They are definitely anti-Obama. No matter what he does, they find some way to disapprove!!!

President Obama is definitely not overexposed. This country need to hear the facts, not the myths so effectively being put forth by the unaware foot soldiers of the insurance companies.

NO ONE is safe from being financially ruined by a major illness. Ignorance is dangerous, for health of individuals, and the health of our country.

FNC eclipsed its primetime cable news competition in both total viewers (3.29 million vs. 2.699 million for the combined CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and HLN) and adults 25-54 (1.009 million vs 916,000).

Seems more americans get the news from Fox. Sorry Rick

Hi Rick,
I agree that fox shouldn't have included CNN in that ad. I find it helps to watch both FOX and CNN because in this day and age it's virtually impossible to get all your info from only one source. I find CNN and FOX make a nice balance of good stories and important info. I find the mainstream media (cbs, nbc and abc) only covers stories that are flattering to the President. This is not journalism IMHO. I'll continue to get my news from CNN and FOX.

Mike,
There is a difference between Fox News Channel and Fox Broadcast.

Why is it that CNN and MSNBC cannot have one program that does not mention FOX? FOX's ratings are over the moon without mentioning
CNN or MSNBC?

Great Job Rick!!! Way to go. You tell them. You got to the bottom of that ACORN story just 6 days after those tapes came out. You keep saying "What about the conservative film maker?" Then nothing. Nothing incriminating. Way to go Rick. That away to be hard hitting. America safe with you on the job.

I use to watch Fox news until about a year or so ago,when I heard Steve Deuce on fox & friends bash Illegals, Hispanics and spanish. He's totally racist. I also heard the Judge when he thought the cameras were not on him make this comment. "He could not believe the terrorist wanted to cut the heads off of the prime minister of Canada, when they should be cutting the heads off of the mexicans." I know I am not the only one in America that heard and saw this, it goes to show how far Fox news will go to divide the American people.
By the way you're doing a fantastic job. I watch CNN all day long.
Rick Sanchez, thank you for being there.

Good job Rick! Time after time, after time, I catch the stories on FOX News as misleading, misinformed, and at times, outright lies. I checked, and not only did all the "accused" networks cover the Tea bagger tory at the capitol, but even international networks like BBC World News covered it.

I totally agree. FOX News has blurred accuracy and coverage with what they can do to make news work for them. I constantly see video and audio and depth of news stories hacked and bent to appease to a hate mongering right wing audience.

Even the extemists have to remember. News needs to be "covered" with truth and acuracy, not "told" to its viewers to fit a viewpoint. FOX is habitual in skewing news to fit what they want to hear, not what is accurate and truthful.

Please explain to your viewers the "BIG LIE" technique, AND call it out whenever you encounter it.

Rick,

let call the attach on the President what is it. It is and has an under current of racial.

The article you talked about today the conference being held today on values and public policy is racial.

Ask how man whites attend, how many blacks attend, how many hispanics attend.

Ask where are their meetings/conferences held at? They are not held in my city. I would attend.

The best way to handle the FOX / SKEWS Channel' s divisive drivel is to ignore their twisted rants. Don't give them any 'free advertising' or publicity on CNN. Our News Media has more important issues and events to report than these cross-network competitions. I enjoy most of your reporting, but don't get vacuumed-in to their 'finger-pointing' con jobs.
Call me...MAL "The Kidd".

You are right that "the media" is getting more polarized. You label Fox news (accurately) as having a conservative bias, yet you refuse to consider your own biases. We have learned that we need to watch both Fox news and CNN for example, if we want to see both sides a story. What especially concerns me is that the media MUST be a watchdog on politicians, and serve as a balance point. Most of the media seem to be cheerleaders and apologists for whatever the current administration and Congress want to do, as opposed to casting a critical eye, and at least asking the tough questions that need to be asked. That is your role. Your commentary today was very appropriate, and I hope CNN begins to live up to the standards you set forth.

Rick, Thank you for reporting, and not promoting. CNN is the leader, because they report the news.

What could possibly be above thought?
Regardless of your answer it will be what you think. Therefore my conclusion is nothing could possibly be above thought.
The only possible way to get something from nothing is to imagine it.

I just 100% agree with you about the FOX news. That what they do – is not journalism! It is strong attempt to divide society and set up the war between people. Both, as MR. Glenn Beck as MR. Bill O’Rally are two leaders of lay. And another thing I would like to emphasize. As many times MR. O'Rally invites people to speak or discuss something, as many times he is just speaking with himself. He never ever lets people participating in the conversation to brink theirs opinion, just to open their mouths. He is always interrupting everybody in a very rood manner. MR. O’Rally likes to here only himself, He needs to speak to the mirror, because he loves only himself, his own voice and his own opinion. I strongly believe it is time for MR. O’Rally to get out from the TV screen! FOX is lying always.

How did that old hip-hop song go? Oh yeah, knock 'em out the box, Rick, knock 'em out!

Hi Rick!

Like your show very much listen or rather watch when I am able. Today you've asked whether the President is over exposed ...in my opinion NO he is not and when he does speak everyone listens as when he spoke at the college recently...he is an excellent speaker and I could listen to him anytime...I must say I think he's gotten a bit too informal in his ending speaking...he now seems to end any talk or speech with .."thanks everybody"...no more God Bless America..I prefer this, for as President he gives us encouragement in signing off with a "blessing" of our country. In any case I think he's great and a good man working hard for the country and our world. God Bless our President.
Thanks Rick.

Rick, Rick, Rick,
You only read the orchid letters. At least O'Reilly reads the onions too.
I watch CNN as a balance to FOX and watched CNNs reporting of the Washington march. You're right, they covered it, like a passing thought. sort of "Oh, and by the way some people were in DC today with something to say". Just like, at first, you covered VAN JONES, ACORN – glancing vignettes.
Rick, even you're coverage of ACORN is apologetic. Yes, you gave them a death warrant, but actually questioned the veracity of the film makers, when there is not an inkling of evidence of wrong doing.
I don't like that kind of reporting whether it comes from you, Dobbs, O'Reilly or Hannity.

I found it very interesting that Rick spent several minutes calling FNC "liars" and then showed a clip from O'Rielly stating that CNN covered the march. FNC was wrong on their commercial but you were wrong in calling them liars.

Hello Rick,

I commend you for standing up for what is right!! Fox News is bad for human mind, it deteriorates social acceptance, builds hate amongst various races in people, divides the country and causes hatered to spread. This Fox network needs to weed out the menace and build a network that will help this country come together.

Pavithra

Kokomo,IN

Rick,

Just report your news! When you go defensive you've already admitted you are not in first place. Sorry about that Rick, but that is life in America. Just report the news. Today CNN was half an hour late reporting about the "Denver Terrorist" arrest while you were being defensive to Fox!

Get movin'
David

Rick
You gave the best advice that one could today at the end of your show where you told your guest that maybe to get the real story to view all sides...This is what I do if I want the center or a good presentation of both sides because CNN is good at showing all sides (your show, Anderson Cooper, when I can Rockin Wolf Blitzer), then on the Left I catch Olberman and Maddow, on the Right I listen to blowheart Beck (who I used to like) and Bill O'Riley on the Sneaky as Fox Network as most stuff they generate is really made-up and fiticious I find.
This way I can make up my own mind on a topic...Way to go Rick...

As a concerned American I try to watch all news stations to be as fully informed as possible.. Your station may have a few short spots regarding tea parties and the march to Washington but I do not feel that your station gives it the coverage or the importance that it deserves. Your last clip showing the reporter covering one of the other tea parties shows the bias and spin that sometimes accompanies your reports. The fringe elements of these groups seems to be the main focus rather than show the real and honest concern that many of us in America have. This is a protest of people that have never been politically active before and to be talked down to and called names by the likes of Nancy Pelosi and others is outrageous. I think that you do not necessarily show a bias but many, if not most of the other hosts have a hard time not letting their feelings show through. Perhaps FOX was trying to say that you missed reporting it as thoroughly as it deserved to be.

Rick,I watch your show ever day & was so proud of you today standing up to Fox for their [false] comment about CNN not covering the Tea Party.There is NOTHING fair & balanced about their network. They are all against our President & say some of the most awful things about him. It is SHAMEFUL! Sure makes me thankful that I am a Democrat & yes a Christian too!

Remember the statement from Limbaugh "I hope he fails" well the truth of the matter is President Obama is not. So Fox News took it upon themselves to distort everything and anything the President does. What is so bad about wanting everyone to succeed? For some people it is about the MYTH of superiority. Hannity has done an injustice to this country by exibiting his insecurity as well as Glenn Beck. He made a statement that the President was a racist against white people. Van Johnson got the sponsor of his show to boycott and well the rest is history. Rick I will say that Fox News personalities will come after you next. Fox News comes after anyone who agrees with the President, hence "the liberal news media" are in the tank with Obama – per O'Reilly. Check them out-they promote their own ratings every night. I very seriously think they are ahead of anyone. They pinned the term "socialism" and everyone picked it up, well conservatives.

I've been watching & waiting for CNN to start doing some serious investigative reporting. Why is it that CNN always seems to playing catch up to Fox News? Why aren't CNN reporters investigating & breaking some of these same stories themselves?

Has CNN done any in-depth reporting on the lack of water for some California farmers that has been an ongoing story on Fox news?

Hey Rick,

Showing it for a few minutes doesn't mean anything. If that would have been a crowd full of your socialist liberals gathered by Acorn, sciu and the like, your network would have covered it and nothing else. You veritable morons who take a press release from the Obama white house and pass it off as gospel without doing any real journalist research are just helping those socialists achieve their goals. All of you unable to think for yourselves idiots who read this, head my advise. I have lived in socialist and fascist countries. There are no Liberal democrats. They are socialists and fascists plain and simple.

Rick your story calling the FOX noise crowd out on their damn lie was great. FOX tells untruths all the time. Here are a couple of examples that I have seen....not on FOX....I wouldn't watch those lying jerks if they were the only news media on Earth. Here's one that Jon Stewart showed on his program......one clip shows the President saying the following during his healthcare speech....the Pres. was talking about insurance costs. He said it WASN"T that insurance execs were bad people, they were simply trying to make their businesses profitable. Here's how liar Hannity reported that. He said he was "taken back"
(sic ) when the President said insurance execs were BAD people. Either Liar Hannity had his ears on backwards, or he told an intentional lie.

Then there's cry baby Beck, who said some college, whose name he couldn't recall, , estimated the crowd in Washington for the latest so called march at 1.7 million. The DC fire dep't estimated the crowd at betwee 50 and 75 thousand.

These FOX swine do this kind of thing all the time. Perhaps CNN could have someone monitor these jerks and call them out on all their lies and half truths.

Thank you for challenging FNC and Bill O'Riley. FNC, Bill O'Riley, Glenn Beck, the RNC, the far-right religious fanatics and the raciest pigs that shout out "Obamanations" but are too coward to wear the white sheets that they deeply want to wear need to be challenged constantly, day after day. The Republican Party has reduced itself to obstructionism and fear-mongering. Thank God that by sheer demographics these low-lifes will cease to exist in the coming generation. This is why these terrible people like Rush Limbaugh and all the rest of the neocon-nutsies including all those on FNC are screaming out their extemeist lies. They are afraid, their realm, their own patheic little world is collapsing around them!!! Do not allow them to continue their lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Rick

I watch Fox when I can from early morning to late at night. You are right, they give both sides of a story and let you make up your own mind. If you cover something that's great.

Rick, I am glad that news media like CNN exist.When I was new in this country I watched FOX, but after a while I thought I was not getting the right news that can help me be a good member of American community. I realized that this is a gutter press and TV.It is only fit for people who can read but do not use their brains to see through the lies. This is a properganda media which I needs to be closed down for the good of this nation.

Fox News lies all the time. I never believe anything they say. And they are just like the Republicans, whom they totally support. You would think, however, that by now they realized that people are going to fact-check their claims and allegations. I guess they are counting on the few who accept what they say as truth. Ken. Blakewell – I can hardly begin to say what a liar he is. Look to the 2004 election in which he did so many illegal and unethical things to sway the election for George Bush. Now all of a sudden he is with a Values organization. I really, really, really can not believe the tricks these republicans are up to each and every day.

Look who is acting socialistic and comunistici if not the Republicans. They are saying
lies as truths and truths as lies. Starting from conrgessmen,Senators
and the like. And fox news. Wake up AMERICANS!

Hi Rick,
Lets talk about the lies of the reform of Health Care. I have tried to get an investigative reporter to find out about a telecommunication device issued to Veterans out of the Syracuse VA Hospital. It is called a "HEALTH BUDDY." According to James Cody the ADM of this hospital states it has a 24 hour delay time in reading information sent into the hospital from the Veterans home. For two years I have done research on this machine and NO where is this stated, there is NO 24 hour time delay in reading! This is how the VA hospital in Syracuse NY issues their machines to Veterans. This is a bald face lie! I contacted Health Hero Network out of Palo Alto California, I was told by a Mr. Sandeep they are issued to VA hospitals in hopes they are used as intended. WHAT! My father died he was issued machine # 44FB2AD which I was told is now sitting in the Syracuse Hospital. They even issued him this machine and he had cataracts. I have a 44 page report that was never to be cited or cirrculated. It states this machine is to be issued to END OF LIFE or HIGH COST patients!!!! I can not understand WHY NO ONE had jumped on this to find out why the Syracuse VA hospital does this and how many more unsuspecting Veterans are issued this machine in this area of New York? I also have my fathers medical records and how he died after a blood pressure of 88/57 was sent into the hospital via this machine. Lie after lie has led me to investigate further and further. I do not want another Veteran to die. This machine either needs to be banned from the VA health Care system or it is to be installed or used as intended. This is how the fat bonuses are obtained by the upper crust of the VA health care system. Kill patients and save money WE GET FAT BONUS MONEY. I have all the proof Rick. I think eveyone is chicken --. No one wants to touch this, yet this is a HATE CRIME against older Veterans such as my Dad, a 31 year Army Veteran. Rick, lets see what you do with this story. I was watching you today. A woman gets beat in a Cracker Barrel and its a big deal, my father protected and served this country and he dies a horrific death and does not even get proper procedure or any recognition and my voice goes unheard. Wake up America. They dont tell you the truth behind the shrouded walls of the VA health care system. I have every letter this ADM sent to me. I even went over his head and asked resigned undersecretary for Health M. Kussman for help especially since I learned he is a retired B. General of the United States Army. James Cody blew his top. Wake up people. We are in trouble!

Your dialog with Patricia Murphy of Politico revealed just how in the tank you are for the Obama administration. Being upset with the FOX ad was amusing in that it shows that you and so many others on CNN just don't get it. CNN is decidely slanted to the left although not quite as far as MSNBC, CBS, ABC, etc. You all report a common theme that if anyone disputes or agrees with the Obama administration, it is racial bias. Most of the polls make it so clear that the majority of Americans are not in favor the $12 Trilion in debt and centralized government being promoted by the Obama administration. He may be a fine man, but I totally disagree with the policies being promoted by him. I would vote for Michael Steele before I would vote for Barack Obama.

Most of Rick's supporters don't seem very fair and balanced. The conversation on this blog helps show just how polarized the U.S. is.

Thank you, Rick, for telling the truth about FOX, the most lying network on this planet...every time I try to watch it, especially Hannity and OReilly, I hear lies and have to turn it off! Yes, I saw you guys cover all the "tea Parties" but I must say... NO ONE- I mean NO Network covered the PRO REFORM RALLIES that took place in August.....NOT ONE NETWORK! It made me sad....I thought....Oh, No! Now not even CNN is covering "the other perspective!" Here is a web site, which shows all the pro reform rallies....please check it out and let the public know! ((edited))

I resent the on going reports that only show those who do not want reform....I personally have good insurance, yet my premiums have gone up 400% in the last 6 – 7 years. I pay a monthly premium, yet when I need something, like an orthodic, it is not covered and then I have to pay, AGAIN! My brother in law enjoys the public provided to him as a veteran. He recently had heart surgery and was so pleased with his treatment. Yet I am not allowed to even BUY into that public option. He says he served in the military for 20 years...well I served as an educator for 35 years. I don't want it for free! I am willing to pay for a public option!...so that I can save money and have my needs met!
Please, Rick, show the large numbers of Americans that rallied IN SUPPORT of health care reform. Please. The quote on the top of the page/link I sent speaks volumes ... "the biggest untold story in the fight for health reform is the tireless work being done by grassroots supporters across the country."
When is the media going to report the large numbers of Americans who want this reform? Please, Rick...por favor! (soy puertoriquena!) Your listeners are counting on you to expose FOX for what they are and to tell the truth! Also why does CNN continue to run the anti health care add sponsored by the "conservatives for patients rights" but you won't run the add which exposes the health care ceo's and their exorbitant salaries! By the way...the "conservatives for patients rights" is run by Scott, a man who used to run health care, and whose health care business was fined millions for defrauding the gov't and their patients... now Scott is trying to use scare tactics and lies and can afford to run those lying ads on cnn all day long!
Gracias, Rick...Que Dios te bendiga!

Rick,If you covered it so well why the need for all the explantions? Cnn was late on Jones,late on Acorn and was forced into covering the march.A twenty three year old wanna be jounalist made you all look pathetic. Just give us both sides accurately and let us decide.

I finally got! G.O.P. stands for Gangs of Oppresson and Pessimism.

Thanks you so much for speaking out on FoxNews. It is about time that CNN and Network News begins to dispute the lies and give the facts. MSNBC (Keith & Rachael) have been doing so but now its time to really go after them and try to correct all of the misinformation they have given.

Thanks Rick and Thanks CNN

Rick, you big crybaby. Everybody knows you & everybody else at CNN carry all the Liberal water. Thats why Fox kicks your ass every single day at every single slot. Fair & Balanced

Poor Rick Sanchez and CNN,

I grit my teeth and attempt to watch some news from various news outlets and you latest rant about Fox News was so weak it hurt me to watch it.

Yes, CNN did do some coverage of the March on Washington by the silent majority, but you failed to mention that most of those reports placed a negative slant to the March and the Marchers. Your last clip showing a CNN male reporter tell us that the Marchers we mainly dangerous people on the fringe of society. How can you look at the photos of the March and characterize them as dangerous? Is that slanted news reporting or not?

You, Larry King, Wolf and the CNN goes on and on of news people that continue to do one sided reporting on what is happening in the country. I happen to be an independent voter, not Republican or Democrat, but someone that does not want the Government in the car business, continuing to run up the spending and certainly not running the health care system in the country.

Health care needs to be changed, but with half a dozen major changes, we could improve the health care for everyone and we would not need a government run Big Government health care company.

Your one sided reporting about the ACORN tapes and your comments condemning the two freelancers and their methods is the real statement about your reporting. How does 60 Minutes do many of their investigations? How does NBC do their child molestation investigations? CNN and the other Mainstream media should be ashamed of yourself for under reporting anything that is negative concerning the President or the Democrats.

Mr Sanchez, who is the lair? Who is disingenuous about how fair and balanced CNN is in your reporting? Your protests are weak and only your liberal supporters would agree with you.

It is sad to see you and CNN conduct yourselves as simple spokespersons for the administration and their efforts to intrude in our lives more and more everyday.

The silent majority is speaking out and your reporting is simply bringing more of us together.

John Bloodworth

One way to have good news is to whatch other news media as the BBC or other foreing countries news network!! Might find that your perception of what is going on in the US is not the same of others!!
Main US internal problems come from the fact that there is no THIRD party...thus polarizing opinions..Sure lots of US citizens would give their votes to a third party tired of the constant war between Dems and Reps!!!

Hey Rick, great show today; especially the remarks directed towards Fox News. That's what I like about your show–you check things out. I feel you and CNN are truthful.

You gave an example of a conservative Republican driving into the church parking lot and seeing a lot of Obama stickers and how uncomfortable people may feel. I know how they feel only under the opposite circumstances. I have gone to churches where you try to keep it quiet if you are a Democrat. Some of the parishioners don't see how you can be a Christian and be a Democrat. As you said, very uncomfortable.

Keep up the good work.

Rick, I think you are an excellent News host and you are one of the very few I can listen to for an entire hour. Keith Olberman and Rachael Maddow are also excellent. You were more than gracious to Kenneth Blackwell on your show today. He, however, is the biggest fraud in the republican party, i.e., the 2004 election in Ohio. Good luck to you. God bless our president, B. Obama.

Rick-u don't know how happy I was to see you stand up to Fox News! Fox News is really racist and they're trying to place fear and hatred in pleople who watch their show. Racists don't have to wear white hooded sheets over their heads-all they have to do is work for Fox News and protest in the Tea Party!

Are you sure you know what you're doing here Rick? If FOX apologizes and lets say they do begin reporting "fair and balanced", where will I get my conspiracy theories, right-wing "balanced" propaganda and opinionated "fact" reporting? I kind of like throwing objects at my TV in anger....

Chill out Rick....spare us your inter channel cat fights.

Just report the news and do your bickering off line.......pulllleaazzzeee.

Yes you did cover it if you call covering it by showing a few sighns with President Obama on them.
And also yes you also did show one wide camera angle from top of a building and that is all
The coverage consisted of that only, with a few short CNN reprters comments from the ground.
The roof camera I belive it was, I guess on top of the Canadian Embassy since in the coverage you can see the Canada flag in fron tof the building standing tall.
Just like the one in front of the Canadian embassy in Washington D.C.
This was not up to CNN standards,when President Bush was President the coverage was the best and even President Clinton was excellent also
I noticed since President Obama not as much detailed discussion with various political talking heads, if they do get on it's short and not much o fit.
Some of us need the political point of view, even if it's political members of both party's, That makes an excellent discussion.
Now we see less and less of it,Why? Get it back! We want more!
In closing,
I belive CNN is the best News provider to this day,Period.
People can cut up the CNN but CNN still is the best news provider on the air, Like it or not
CNN is the best by far, far in front of others,the best reprting i belive ever.
Dennis

Funny I just watched your take on the coverage of the march on washington. You say you cover the news not promote. You say you let the viewers make their own decisions, well I beg to differ. Having newscasters calling protesters names like "teabaggers, saying they are a sizable threat, by calling obama Hitler, an element of outlandish conspiracy theories about death camps," blah, blah, blah.....Really? You let the audience make up their own minds? You are not promoting any agenda? Again, Really? What fox meant about you not covering the story, was THE STORY, why people were protesting. Not your propaganda. You didn't cover the true story. Fox was correct in their assessment, how did you miss it? Are you that angry that cnn can't compete with fox? You may want to see someone for that misguided anger issue you have!

What "glitch" was O'Reilly referring to in the clip to prove that he admitted CNN provided coverage? You cut off the clip before he finished. Agree; dumb ad. I'm a FOX follower, but no one likes a horn-tooter.

Great job Rick bringing Fox news to the mat with their lie. You were so perfect with your words when you said CNN "reports" the news and doesn't promote it. Fox not only promotes it they twist and shape and turn it into what they want. We can thank them for all the madness going on in this country right now. It is so obvious that they go out of their way to fan the flames. Thank you for your "on the money" news reporting!! Keep up the good work.

Is ACORN Intentionally Structured As a Criminal Enterprise?" is the title of a July 2009 report by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., for the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The report draws some shocking conclusions: "The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors..."

It is a shocking statement to absorb: "to conceal a criminal conspiracy." Yet you won't see this on your TV unless you happen to be watching Fox News. Others are refusing to report this corruption.
Your a few months late Rick on ACORN coverage too.

Good grief people. How many times are you going to repeat this lie that Rush wants Obama to fail? I must have read this in the above notes 5 times and there are only 50 emails.

He wants him to fail IF HE IS GOING TO GO DOWN THE ROAD TO SOCIALISM. That is a BIG difference and you know it.

Please, quote the man in context or don't quote him.

Rick, my mother (who is 90) and I watch your program at noon here in Arizona and you always make our noon hour. Thanks for setting Fox News straight, we got a chuckle out of that! We love ya.....

OMG i saw the amazing Rick Sanchez diss Fox News!!!!!!! How exciting!!! FAUX NEWS always reports stupid lies and only Rick have the guts to talk against them..and ALWAYS wins the argument!!! Does anyone remember the ad from Fox News that called Anderson Cooper a CELEBRITY..and then go on to say that their weird Greta something or another (someone i never heard of) beat him in ratings. At least everyone knows Cooper because of his reporting that is better than anyone elses, and always asks smart questions to dumb people. So I just had to give THE Rick Sanchez a round of applause in front of my TV.

Thoughts on the FOX enterprise- every since Murdock was allowed to purchase newspapers like the NY Post and then own tv media outlets, I knew there would end up being a bias from them. Now they appear to be the leaders for a segment of people who would rather be told what to believe than looking at a story and making up their own minds. I thought I learned in school that only citizens at time of purchase could own newspapers. I will never trust them. Hmm, W.R. Hurst comes to mind, you know, manipulating the politicians into thinking we needed to have a war ( but really ONLY to sell papers).

A disclaimer first: I don't care about the right or the left. It doesn't mater anymore. The trend is pointing to the inevitable end where the two camps will destroy each other and all the rest of us too. So a pox on both houses. Now here goes with the obvious:

Rick, it is useless to try to speak reasonably to FOX NEWS. They have a particular strategy to execute from on high that you have no idea who it is giving them direction. They do not care about facts. Their agenda focuses on what will stir up their Pavlovian like followers. It is all about keeping a minority fringe group of crazies following them to keep the advertising revenue coming in from a mind controlled subset of the population that is still big enough to keep the cash rolling in. No one at FOX NEWS cares about reporting FACTS. They just want to ensure they are feeding the right red meat to the crazies which will keep them stirred up and tuned in to their stream of made up baloney. Believe me. No one at FOX NEWS dare go against the edicts dictated from the real manipulators behind the cameras where no one can see them. One wrong peep straying from those REALLY in charge and they would be FIRED, FIRED, FIRED immediately. So forget about ever getting any real truth in reporting the news from FOX. They don't care. All that matters to them is to ensure the crazies are fed the right hate-diet that will result in the money stream continuing to flow into the FOX NEWS parent coffers. Rush Limbaugh and FOX NEWS were cast from the same mold and have the same objective. Just get the money from morons unable to think logically. Just play on their emotions. As long as the money is successfully extracted is all that matters.

RICK, HE HAD OZARS BUSH DID . LETS USE YOUR NUMBER WHAT WAS IT 47 OZARS , BUT TELL THE PEOPLE IT WAS OVER A 8 YR. PERIOD . AND DON'T FORGET RICK THE DEMOCRATS RAN THE HOUSE IN THE LAST 2 YRS. OHHHH LETS NOT FORGET TO RICK, THAT IN 2001 PRESIDENT BUSH AND SENATOR MCCAIN TRY TO TELL THE DEMOCRATS THAT THEY NEED TO REGULATE MAC AND FANNY MAE , THAT IS WAS NOT SAFE TO LET THEM GET THAT BIG. OH WHO DID HE TELL LETS SEE ( PELOSI AND BARNEY FRANK) OH REMENBER OLD FRANK WAS SAYING IT'S A GOOD TIME TO INVEST IN THE HOUSING MARKET . OH YEA THEN 2 MTHS LATER IT COLLASP. GEE WONDER IF THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ECONOMY. OH AS FAR AS THE REST OF THE ECONOMY FAR AS I REMENBER EVERYBODY WAS BEHIND HIM AFTER 911. YES I DO AGREE HE JUMP TO FAST AND SHOULD HAVE WENT AFTER THE BIN LADON, IN STEAD OF IRAQ. BUT ALREADY THE PRESIDENT WE HAVE HAS ALREADY PAST THE DEDT BUSH LEFT AND HE IS ADDING TO IT . FAR AS HEATHCARE WHY DON'T HE JUST FOCUS ON THE ONES (1/6) THAT NEED IT PEOPLE WOULD NOT MIND THAT . WHY IS HE WANTING TO CHANGE EVERYBODY I HAVE TO QUESTION HIS REASON . AND NOW HE WANTING TO GET RID OF THE AMERICAN DOLLAR AND REPLACE IT WITH A NATIONAL CURRENCY. SO IS HE A AMERICAN PRESIDENT OR IS HE A -----? YEP NO ONE KNOWS FOR SHURE WHO HE STANDS FOR THATS THE QUESTION. NO ONE DENIES THAT WE NEED CHANGE. THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT NOT JUST WITH MONEY BUT WITH OUR SELVES.

RICK SANCHEZ LEAVE MY STATEMENT ITS THE TRUTH IS'NT..

Rick,

Your left-wing political "skirt" is showing! CNN did cover the Tea Party story BUT the issue is the way CNN covered the story. The "liberal" slant on the way CNN covers news IN GENERAL is biased. I have noted to your management on previous occasions the same issue of biased reporting - with NO RESPONSE from CNN management, I might add - to the point where I have given up commenting to CNN management. Its NOT worth my time( and I'll bet that you won't respond either!) Adios, Ricardo!

There's a reason why most intelligent people refer to them as "Faux News". Did you see the story about the ACORN woman who supposedly admitted to murdering her ex husband? Instead of checking for facts, they RAN with that story OVER and OVER and OVER again. He is alive and well, according to the local police where he lives. It's no wonder Faux News believes their reporting, they don't verify it!

you are right rick FOX was wrong but i thinck they will some silly answer. You were the only one to talk about the cracker barrel beat down of a blackwomen . FNC is not going to say nothing because it was not a blonde hair white woman fair balance ?

Rick, thank you so much for lending a voice to the thousands of us who are sick and tired of being treated like "pinheads" who are incapable of coming to our own conclusions. I don't want to hear someone "OPINE" on stories. I want the facts as they come to light. Let me draw my own conclusions. Thank you.

For this reason, I only watch CNN and your affiliated newscast, HLN.

Thank goodness for stations like CNN. Where else would the ill-informed, kool-aid drinking Obama worshipping, fact rejecting, liberal fools get their spin and talking points besides Move-on-dot org., the NY Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, LA Times or 95% of the other media coverage outlets. Fox News alone shows a true Fair & Balance viewpoint. Just because the truth does not coincide with the liberal agenda expressed by CNN or the other Liberal News Media does not diminish the facts. CNN does a wonderful job at finding the few or the individual on the ‘fringe’ that may express a radical view and ignores the majority of Tea-Party attendees that come from all backgrounds, races, social classes that are sick of the same old Washington Tax & Spend & Spend & Spend policies. Keep up the dismal job that you and your brethren are doing so Fox News stays number 1 and you and your cohorts combined can not equal the market share that Fox News has.

Thank you! Finally someone is pushing back on all the lies from Fox. You're my new favorite news reporter.

I am a journalism teacher. I have discovered that in order to get both sides of any large story – a really good understanding of both sides – I would have to devote large amounts of time to watching both CNN and FOX. FOX zeroes in on certain stories to the detriment of others. CNN lightly zips across the tops of some stories. I watch CNN for scope and breadth, especially on international stories. I watch FOX for depth on some stories, and while I don't usually catch either side out and out lying, I use clips from both news outlets to show how bias can be propogated by what you leave out, as well as what you say. Shame on all of you. No kidding.

Oh, Rick, by the way – if you would like to come on out to California sometime, our entire San Joaquin valley is drying up, farmers losing entire ranches, because environmentalists are trying to save a smelt and have turned off the valley's water. Watch your food prices rise .... here we go...and where is CNN on this one? It has been going on for months and months...and only FOX news has covered it nationally.

The original subject matter here was the reporting or otherwise of the 9-12 march/rally, which was organized by Glenn Beck – at least that is his claim – although he did not attend it.

He cried crocodile tears on his show saying he wanted America to feel as they did on 09/12/01. On that day and for days, weeks and months thereafter, this country was united AS ONE behind President Bush. I saw no sign of anyone in that crowd remotely united behind their President on 09/12/09.

Beck on 09/11/04 stated that he hated the 09/11 families and after another disaster hit part of this country, stated that he did not think he could hate people faster than he did the 09/11 families!! Who was he talking about? – The victims/survivors of Katrina.

Free speech is one thing and we are all entitled to express our feelings but promoting anarchy and revolution is another matter all together and downright dangerous.

Beck claims to be "one of you America" and he is far from being one of us. He takes in a very healthy 7-figure income. If he is so ardent about change, about saving the republic and the constitution, then why doesn't he use his wealth and run for the Presidency in 2012 as a Third Party Libertarian (which is what he claims to be).

Let's see how popular his views are on a national level and not just to the limited, somewhat biased, audience he has on talk radio and Fox TV??

Just a thought .....

CNN apparently did cover the 9/12 march on Washington to a minimal extent, but there is an even more important and significant story that I heard nothing about.

Fox News this week interviewed Representative Bart Stupak (Democrat from Michigan), who in no uncertain terms stated that President O'Bama was not truthful when said to the joint session of Congress, that the health care legislation would not include funding for abortions. CNN must be reminded that this is a democrat making this statement. It's unfortunate that CNN chose not to cover the representative but instead devoted so much attention to Joe Wilson.

Representative Joe Wilson shouldn't have shouted out you lie....but I guess he was correct in saying it!!!!!

Rick,

Tell it like it is!! The town hall screamers are a minority who oppose anything unless it comes from the GOP. They don't care how much insurance companies, Exxon/Mobil or financial institutions screw them. Bill Maher correctly refers to them as "the stupid people". They love war and conflict but absolutely hate diversity.

Talk about "cutting off your nose to spite your face". But brother, they LOVE FOX NEWS, Glenn, Sean, Billow the clown and all!!

Keep up CNN's high level of integrity in reporting the news. Leave the neo-con, facist spin to Murdoch and FIX news!

I am somewhat ashamed that I was once a Republican, voting for Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush Sr. (once). Wake up Tea party! You are destroying our country!

Way to go, Rick! I saw your show today and loved you telling it like it is. I guess FOX has no fact-checker and has nothing else better to do...maybe done for publicity's sake, maybe not. But what I like about you and your team is that you speak straight out and scratch your head like I do when I don't understand something. And you keep at it until you get the true facts. Keep up the great work!
PS: When will CNN give you more air time? We need people like you for more than just an hour.

Thanks Rick Sanchez, you said it right !
you are a brave man!! you are doing a good job.

I think Fox news, with that Washington Post ad, wanted additional coverage of the past weekend's tea party event in Washington DC. To get additional coverage, they simply accused the other news networks of NOT covering the event. That way, the other news networks would respond (like Rick did) and provide additional air time to "prove" thay they did indeed ... cover the event.

The Post ad made "old news" sound like "new" news. That way, they could keep it in the news...along with their point of view.

I think Fox wanted free air time for their point of view...for their ultra conservative viewers.

FOX wants to be 'in the news".. and they will most likely go to any extreme to get their name in the news. That is one reason why i do not listen or watch FOX news. T

Way to go, Rick!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that you said anything "new," because there are many who know how skewed FOX "news" is, but the fact that you said it and said it so well, I'm loving it! I'm a recovering journalist myself and I appreciate it when others in the Fourth Estate do their best to uphold the integrity of the profession. I'm sharing this vid on my Facebook page, but I don't expect my FB friends who think FOX news is the Bible to see it LOL

Rick, you rock!!!!

Fox news is not a sincere source for news. I think they try too hard at hurting people and that's about it. They are not likeable not any of them.

You tell em' Rick! Its time someone kept fox news honest...not only do they LIE...they also STEAL (CNN's Picture of the event).

Thanks Rick

I watch Fox when I can from early morning to late at night. You are right, they give both sides of a story and let you make up your own mind. If you cover something that’s great

Guys don't waiste your time watching Fox News, good thing I stop watching their Network two years ago.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, way to go Rick, finally someone strong enough to stand up and say something to Fox News. I know they have a right to report the news, but to out right tell stories on there is getting to be something they really like to do. The problem is that their followers think it is the gospel according to them.

Thank you for finally saying something that, probably, a majority of us would like to say but it falls on deaf ears.

Thanks Rick. Finally someone has the guts to tell Fox what they trully are "Liars" Need more reports on the Fox liars. Keep it up. We need to hear the truth on these news shows

Well said Rick! All Fox news does is lie! So sad Fox's loyal but ignorant followers are being brainwashed by a corp that is controlled by a man not even from this country! This is a matter of national security! He controls much of our airwaves as well.

Can I have some cheese with that WHINE? What a pathetic boob!

Yes, CNN did cover the tens of thousands of crazies. I am just disappointed that CNN only breifly mentioned the hundreds of thousands of people that marched on the mall against the war during the Bush administration. Fox ignored them and the miions of others that marched for peace.

You may not havepromoted the rally on Washington, but you SURE ARE PROMOTING RACISM!!! In Van Jones's words "They are using distortions and lies to divide the people" you are promoting his agenda – you know the one that he's trying to convince all Blacks that whites are poisoning their communities!!! Promoting lies & distortion and causing a lot of division!! Thank you CNN

Rick-as usual, a great job! Keep it up. By the way, the add – isn't that the photo/crowd that was discussed in PolitiFact.com and FactCheck.org? In other words, another incident of Fox skirting the truth in reporting.

Hi Rick,
I like your style, but being employed by CNN i understand that you have to be more on liberal side. You do ask some tough and provocative questions but your know how far you can go. It would be appropriate that you correct Fox, but you became defensive. The difference between CNN and Fox is that CNN selectively reports news that is not critical of President, Democrats and liberals, while Fox creates news that is uncovering what main media ignores. Fox is doing investigating reporting while CNN and other media policy is "do not rock the boat." I did notice that you stated that Town Hall meetings had small audience. You seriously questioned Fox reporting re ACORN. Interestingly enough even Congress and Senate took it seriously. GL

I'm currently completing my journalism major, and I just dropped by to say that it's people like you who give me faith that there's a reason I'm going into this field, and that it's not just a barren wasteland of stupid.

It shouldn't take a partisan Democratic newscast, a la MSNBC's prime-time lineup, to point out the by-now-obvious fact that Fox News is a propaganda operation.

Any journalist with any amount of professional ethics whatsoever, no matter their political persuasion, should have no problem with calling them and the entire Roger Ailes operation what it is.

A quick search on YouTube reveals that you are now a target of the fringe Right's petty tribalism, and the labeling of anyone who says anything they don't want to hear as a political partisan.

Don't listen to them. Don't back down. Don't pull a David Brooks and start adding artificial "balance" into your stories for its own sake. Keep up the good work.

Oh my! What we would do without Fox News?

Rick you were brilliant in your fair and balanced assessment of Foxnews. Its obvious you can tell what's right from what's wrong unlike the talking heads on the republican propaganda channel. Great job and please keep on doing what you do.

I saw the report about Fox lying about CNN not reporting the Tea party & was upset about this too. I wrote Fox news indicating to them that they are not credible & are too sloppy when it comes to reporting facts. I also mentioned to them that they have no busniness being in journalism if they can not double check their resources & report the truth. I wish, I had a job where you can get paid for lying & being lazy...Good work Rick & your a true & diligent reporter....
Linda Shah

Yes, I couldn't agree with you more rick. Fox news are liars., and
furthermore as far as I've felt for a long time now they suck.
It's so obvious which way they swing politically it really borders on being
repulsive.
The only thing I think they really have going for them is Geraldo, like
you rick, he's a hottie.

Rick,

CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC inadequately covered the Tea Party in Washington, showing extreme favoritism to the Obama administration and congressional Democrats. Worse still, CNN and the other above mentioned broadcasters did nothing to uncover the sordid affairs of ACORN.

Now, you're whining for having ignored the biggest corruption story that Glenn Beck and FOX uncovered. You should be apologizing to and congratulating FOX News for not delibrately ignoring these key stories. Plenty of broadcast time on CNN and the other four leftwing channels was spent uncovering scandalous and criminal Republican behavior during the Bush administration. But you neglected to do the same versus the Democrats. It's tokenism of the worst kind. You dropped the ball and ignored what was going on at ACORN, a Democratic party slush fund. It's about time that the big five oligopoly of leftist, pro-Democrat broadcasters is being challenged, thanks only to FOX News. So, stop the whining and do your journalistic responsibilities and cover the culture of Democratic corruption in Washington D.C. as well as in the state capitals and municipalities.

Jack

Hey Rick!!!!

Fired up !!!!!! Ready to Go!!!!! Thank you , Thank You .

'You Lie " right back at them .

Loved your coverage of money being made by senators from insurance companies. Check on talk show and radio hosts please.

Let me see, my spanish post was removed so I am now writing the same thing in English:
There is nothing worse for all Cubans who were forced out of their country than having another Cuban support lefty politicians all the time. It's a shame that you, Rick, use your power to take us back even more. This post has nothing to do with the Fox issue to read or hear hear their side of the story. We have to do this all the time because the media does lie most of the time by reporting only half of the stories through their edited soundbytes.

Sorry Rick I used to only watch cnn news now i do watch Fox more.
Reason being you are basically one sided and not reporting things till after the fact.

Rick, you haven't been my favourite newscaster in the past, but I have to say, you hit the ball out of the park on this story...Bravo! I'll keep a more open mind in future!

Rick Sanchez,

I'm an active duty service member stationed in DC. THANK YOU for holding it down!! You put FOX News in their place. "Fair and balance"..I doubt that. Fox new is one-sided and sometimes I'm down right disgusted by them. Again...thank you! I love and will always support CNN. Be safe out there!!

THANK YOU RICK! Way to go. Maybe you can make this a new daily commentary. Glenn Beck should give you plenty of ammunition. Thanks for standing up for CNN.

Rick,
Thank you for calling out the "farce" news network!!!!!
I can't believe that there are people who still buy into their negative propaganda!

"Promotion" vs. "Coverage"--way to go, Rick!

Thank you! You have one over a fan! Way to show that you guys care!

Good job Rick. It's about time that someone put Fox news in their place...they truly are 20th century; at least in their ethics. It's time to get with the program.

Rick, I am speechless! Thanks for stepping up to the plate. I will make sure I tivo your show everyday.

Thank you Rick. It is about time that the nonsense that FOX passes for news is identified for what it is – baloney, with no factual basis!
-Len

CNN...you are preaching to the choir.

If I wanted to watch right wing news I could find it.
I really do not want to see clips of the right wing commentators.
I already know their views ...

Surely you can be an educated voice for those of us who have an educated mind and need to have it FED.

No, Rick. . .YOU LIE. . .Wow, sorry for your anger. Does the truth hurt that bad? You went to great extremes to defend you and your failing network. If you believe in yourself so much, does it really require that much defense? Your minimal snipits on the coverage of the March on Washington was followed up with snares and sometimes outright laughter by your reporters. FOX owes you NO apology. . .rather, you owe the country one for your biased network news. Obama promised change, maybe it's time for you and your network to get in on the action as well. Hopefully, you'll be more successful than the President.

im about sick of listening to Rick whine about Fox news – im changing the channel to fox news
CNN – time to dump Sanchez – he is by far your worst anchor

Nicely put Rick, couldn't have said it better myself. It's about time someone challenge the demagoguery factory that is Fox News. Way to lay down the smack-down!

I LOVE FOXNEWS!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah!!!!! Rick is MAD....O_O
Way to go Bill!!!!

WOW! I just saw your piece on the Situation Room taking Fox (psuedo-) News to task for accusing CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS, MSNBC, etc. for not covering the Tea Party Express rally in DC. You were absolutely fantastic in your expose of the false charge of FOX. Kudos to you! FOX is a joke and, unfortunately, far too many people in this country fall for their lies.

Rick, two words for you: Well Done!!!. Great job in addressing this issue with Fox News. Direct & to the point.

GO GET EM RICK!!! I am so fed up with all of this Bull! Do a continuing story on finding out who of our "elected officials" are on the take from insurance/drug companies and let the fur fly. It is time to put ALL on notice that "we the people" need the truth, not lies, not threats, not political speak!

You Rock Rick! It's about time someone called out Fox for their unbalance coverage of events. They are not a news station, they are an opinion column!

Rick,

I live in the DC area and I have participated in nearly every major anti-war march and rally in the past four years. No matter how large the crowd (nearly 100,000 on September 15 2007) we received only minor media coverage, but we weren't complaining. We marched as patriots, exercised our 1st amendment rights, and we didn't need a corporate sponsor to do it. I watched the CNN coverage of the tea parties with envy.

I wish our movement could get that kind of press!

-C

Rick, it took a lot of courage to stand up to those liars at Fox News. They do nothing but lie. Thank-you again for having the courage to tell the truth.

Promote/cover ? Picky picky picky – I heard one of your female "commentators" say there was a gathering of a "few hundred" at the Tea Party !!! I didn't see any of your trusty cameramen wandering thru the throngs that turned out – the thousands that turned out.
You "covered" a misfit like Michael Jackson ad nauseum ... or was that "promoted" ? He was "news" – he was the oddest ball in the jar; but you couldn't get butts off chairs to promote (chokes in the throat) thousands of very unhappy people .......
yeh yeh yeh

Just saw you all fired up over the latest example of the way Fox "News" covers the news. I must admit, I've never been a particular fan of yours, but count me changed as of right now.

Keep it up. You rock, Rick!

Thank you for finally calling these partisan puppets out. I watch Fox News as much as I do CNN. I go to CNN for news and to Fox news to see what ridiculous talking points will come out of the mouths of my conservative friends. As an independent I would watch MSN to see what my democratic friends have to say but its just not the same. Foxnews tabloid journalism is beginning to negatively affect the country which I fought for in Iraq and it deeply offends me. Thank you again for finally saying something.

Thanks Rich. I use to watch FOX till you can see ,they don't like our pres.Obama. I think Karl Rove have something to do with that. He's a big shot on FOX. I love my president. I'm RET, USAF I spent 20 years to protect this country.

FOX is a disgrace to journalism. CNN did not "promote" the tea parties–crazy people who are inspired by the equally crazy Glenn Beck.

CNN did report on the tea party, as rightfully it should, but it showed the demonstration for what it was; a collection of white supremists who cheered Joe Wilson and provided angry hateful messages toward the President of the United States.

The only thing these folks in the protest were missing were white sheets and burning crosses.

The folks at FOX don't simply embrace these racists, they incite them–they are the leaders of this movement, they were the organizers. If CNN missed the story, it was that FOX News was the inspiration behind this protest and their failure to challenge the contrived and coordinated efforts of FOX to make this a news story.

Now that's a news story that CNN should follow on a regular basis. I assure you, your ratings will increase as the truth be told.

Rick Sanchez – THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU for getting angry
THANK YOU for setting the story straight
THANK YOU for covering the story (and not promoting it, or any other story, just covering it).
THANK YOU for pointing out who the target of "you lie" should really be.
THANK YOU!

Rick is doing just what FOX News wanted him to do talk about this rally again.

Rick Sanchez is on fire!!!! Way to go on holding Fox's feet to the fire, that was an excellent point you made between "promoting" a story and covering a story. So true!!

You go Rick. Fox is the bully in the school yard and covers itself in the flag to justify what it calls journalism. On this network, the first casualty is truth! In Canada, they would be bounced off the air as networks that profess to be reporters of news have to have at least a modicum of ethics and solid research. Rabid opinion is NOT news but sadly many Americans want a quick fix to complex issues and turn to rude, ignornant and manipulative individuals such as Bill O'Reilly for guidance.Sadly, this may only boost their ratings. I wouldn't hold my breath for a retraction.

Rick thank you so much for taking on the great Fox news network: They are getting away with much to much. What is so sad their followers are swallowing every word they put out. If I can see through their ulterior motive why cant the followers. Keep after them. They need to be taken down a peg or two. Fox is giving the news media a bad name. Their agend is to further their beliefs not to report the news. If you ask me they are no better than a "rag sheet".In my opinion you be Da Man for the job.Thanks again.......... Jerri

Good for you Rick, for standing up to those " morons " from Fox network. Frankly, I get utterly turned off from the lies and fabrication that Glenn Beck ( world's worst tv host )and O'Rielly put out on the network. I will continue to watch CNN for its fair and balance coverage.

Settle down Rick! I think what your really upset about is that you have only a fraction of the viewers Fox News has..............wonder why that is????

Have you considered anger management classes??

yikes! I'm shaking in my boots! EVERYONE is just a weeeeeeeee
bit too offended these days. It's comical. Wow we sure need that third party NOW!

Mr. Sanchez,

Fox is absolutely correct. CNN missed the story. See, CNN covered a story about extremists and racists marching on Washington DC. FOX covered a story about patriotic americans marching on Washington DC. See the difference ? CNN missed the story. Don't ever wonder why your ratings suck.

Your Welcome,

Derek

Fox Rules!!! Your O'bamas Yes Men.

I watch both CNN and FOX as well as others.
I just saw Rick's newscast on the coverage. Each clip he showed to support his claim seemed to only focus on very extremist elements of the protest versus the overall atmosphere of the event. So yes CNN did techn ically cover the event but the clips I saw were EXTREMELY biased and portrayed the protesters as extremists versus everyday Americans protesting emerging policies.

Rick ur my Hero. Someone needs to call out FOX news for being so Bias. You made my day!!!

Rick Sanchez....CNN"s Keith Obermann....TOO BAD....why I don't watch MSNBC.... keep it up Rick.

Tell it like it is Rick! I thought it was very disrespectful of Fox News to bilittle the quality and dedication that correspondents such as ,Christiane Amanpour and Michael Ware to name the least, show when they report their news

Finally someone says it out loud!

It is about time. Thanks Rick!

“FOX “News” job is to convince you of a lie, and failing that, confuse the truth, in matters important to their agenda”
– R.R.B.

Rick, although I haven't read any of the current blogs, and it is possible someone else may have thought of this, you should remind Fox News that THEY DIDN'T COVER THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH TO CONGRESS - !!!!!

WHY? RICK, I LOVED YOUR 2-WORD "YOU LIE" RESPONSE. RIGHT ON.

YOU ARE FANTASTIC AND I LOVE YOUR SHOW...WATCH IT EVERY DAY AND IF ANYONE IS "FAIR AND BALANCED", IT IS YOU

I'm laughing at the hypocrisy of Sanchez and CNN with his outrage at Fox for not reporting demonstrations last week in DC.

Last week Bin Laden stated in plain words that he attacked the US on 9/11 because of our unqualified support for Israel. I watch CNN a lot and didn't even see a word on this critical issue. This week it was reported by legit news agencies that Israel is not allowing the UN into Gaza, nor rebuilding materials and even school books are not allowed in. All in total violation of International law. Bin Laden said "if you kill our people, we will kill your people". Hey, Rick, where is the reporting on this issue of REAL news value.

We all know, don't we. Wolf and AIPAC would kick your butt. Tough reporter, my rear end.

great job! I really liked you and your show before...but now I really have so much respect for you! FOX news is NOT unbiased. They are feeding the people in these groups with down right lies. It is amazing! I have family that say that CNN not only misses stories, they say that CNN makes up stories. (all this I know has to come from Glenn Beck) they went to the rally and came back with even more crazy ideas. It is the lies that is feeding everything. I have no problem with people that have different opinions- as long as it is all based on the truth!!

Good work on the Washington tea party coverage reply to Fox!! I watch both stations and must admit that Fox spends "a lot" of time saying how their #1, and others stink. "True" winners & leaders don't spend so much time being so arrogant and telling people how great they are. Good work Rick.

Rick, I'd like you to ask Fox why they don't air the President when he is speaking live at an event like in Minneapolis on Health care or on Wall Street about the economy. Whenever I watch these live events on CNN I click over to MSNBC, they're airing it, then FOX and they are not. Unless the President is speaking in Congress or about the war they do not show it. Especially all his live events this week on Health Care, they did not show any of it. They never show the great things our First Lady does. Tea Party people call our President a communist. I call Fox communist. They air only what they want their viewers to see and hear. They select the news for them. Sounds like propaganda to me. Fox is the real communist. They're slogan should be, ' We report news as we see it, you decide, in our eyes, fair and balance.'

Way to go rick! I'm glad somebody finally had the guts to point out what fox news really is- A JOKE! You ripped them several new ones!

Rick is on fire!!! Your my Hero. Someone needs to call out FOX news for being so Bias. You made my day!!!

Rick,
After that comment about fox new, you are my Hero!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo Rick...... finally someone OUTs Fox news for what they are ....... Fanaticals who are willing to lie to their audiences because they know it is what they want to hear.

You would not believe the amount of people in the south that will only watch "Fox News" ...... they believe everything "Fox News" states and it is almost more than I can take somedays.....

Fox News promotes class war plain and simple and most of all they promote only the right wing view point.

Keep reporting where the TRUTH lands regardless of what political side it happens to land in.

Angela

I'll probably get eaten for this but, when you ramble on Mr. Sanchez, I get a headache.

Congratulations are in order! Rick is a great communicator and journalist. The truth and balance of each story will always prevail. Most people eventually figure out the injustices. I enjoy watching the good fight!

Aloha Rick,
Your on-air Op-Ed was right on the money. There IS a difference
between 'Promotion' and 'Coverage' of the news. I don't mind FOX
now because their insertion of their conservative point of view into
almost every news story is well documented and becoming well known.

Out here in Hawaii we turn on Fox when we want to laugh.
Keep up the great work. 'Talking Story' always helps!

All The Best,
Tom Patrick McAuliffe

PS: I remember you from local TV news in south Florida when I was
on the radio their.

HI RICK,

GIVE ME A BREAK! YOU LIE! I WATCHED ALL THE STATIONS, BY A FLIP OF THE REMOTE, AND YOU HAD SOME, BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO FOX NEWS OF THE PROTEST RALLY.

I USED TO WATCH CNN ALL THE TIME BUT SWITCHED TO FOX NEWS DURING THE ELECTION BECAUSE OF YOUR LIBERAL VIEWS. I AM AN INDEPENDENT. I VOTE FOR THE PERSON NOT BY RACE.

BY THE WAY, I PERSONALLY THINK THAT IN THIS COUNTRY, THERE IS A LOT OF RACIST REMARKS TOWARDS THE WHITE RACE BY THE BLACK RACE. NO ONE MADE ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT MR. WEST DID TO TAYLOR SWIFT. HE WAS UPSET BECAUSE SHE WAS A COUNTRY WHITE SINGER AND HE WANTED SOMEONE ELSE TO WIN THAT WAS BLACK. HOW ABOUT THAT!
HOW ABOUT THE BOY WHO WAS BEAT UP IN THE BUS BY BLACK BOYS?

DONNA AND ROLAND GO ON AND ON ABOUT RACE PROBLEMS IN AMERICA. I SEE NONE EXCEPT BY THEM. PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT RACE, RACE, RACE. I AM SICK OF IT.

I WAS BOUGHT UP TO LOVE ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF WHITE, BLACK, YELLOW, ETC.

THANKS FOR READING THIS, BUT I DOUBT YOU WILL,

MARY BEHRENS

Rick, re: the Fox news "lie". Cover or Promote??
How about Michael Jackson? Did CNN cover or promote? For weeks!!
How about Edward Kennedy's death?
To report something just becaause it is news and then if doesn't agree with your politics, drop it, is what you did for the March on Washington. My opinion.
Bob

Rick – I think it is fair to say that by now – most Americans who know how to turn on a TV set, know that Fox News Channel is scripted for a Republican, conservative audience, and that is the kind of "news" programming that Republican conservatives want to hear. I do think Sheperd Smith makes an honest attempt to simply report what is what, but the rest of Faux News in GOP propaganda.

They, and Rush Limbaugh and sarah Palin nowadays, get more coverage because the other networks like to talk about how outragious they are. JUST STOP.

But when they sting ACORN like they did, they hit paydirt. And CNN's piece on the $15 Million border station in Montana will sure add cream and sugar to the TEA Party.

Bottom Line? There are vast numbers of legitimate policy issues that can be grist for the mill on both sides of the political spectrum. That FOX seems to prefer the political down and dirty method of raw insult to Democrats, liberals (that is anyone who is not to the right of Atilla the Hun) and all of its news competitors says what they recognize in their viewer constituency. I'd bet if they polled FOX News viewers about whether American Hospitals should perform life saving surgery on an illegal alien, they would say NO!. But, of course, they are still "pro life, family values, morality etc etc.

Gotta go, I'm suddenly tasting bile.

Rick,
I'm so glad that someone, (YOU), finally said something. Fox News claims to be balanced but it is nothing but a lie. In my opinion, CNN is the only balanced and fair newscast on tv. It is so disappointing to turn on the news to only see what the news channel is promoting. You said it Rick, CNN tells the people what is going on, and lets the watchers make up their own mind. To you and all the people at CNN, thanks for being the only fair people in the news business.

Go Rick Go ! I watched both CNN and FOX about the Tea Party, I thought FOX was in bed with the republican party. They just don't get it..........

Unfortunately Rick Sanchez is not helping the debate by his ad hominem attacts on FOX NEWS. Being an opponent of the present rush to Communitarianism in our Government, but not a raucous voice of the Left wing. I watched with interest the "Tea Party" covered on FOX.

Reparte vitriol is exacerbating the "everyone hates Obama" whining.

At the "hour" I switched on to CNN, the Most watched in the World (but evidently not in these United States) I saw nothing about the Tea Party. True I only watched the MAIN stories of the day. Perhaps I napped when you showed them at an obscure minute of the News Cycle. Possible, but I would like Rick to PUBLISH and compare the LOGS of CNN and FOX to see If perhaps I am a "mind numbed robot" after all. Just asking, how 'bout it Rick? Or do you "methink protest too much?"

Rick Sanchez, YOU ARE THE MAN! You "checkmated" FoxNews sooo masterfully today and should be commended for highlighting their lies and slipshod journalism! Your courage and integrity are your strongsuit, keep up the fight and keep them honest!

GET THAT APOLOGY FROM THE LIARS AT FOXNEWS! "THEY LIE"

As one blogger so correctly put it... "OMG what would we do without Fox news". That is fact and right on. Fox is the only network to do investigative reporting. They are the ONLY news media that is not in the tank for Obama. THANK GOD FOR FOX NEWS!!!!

I just watched your piece on Fox News. All I can say is DITTO!! Fox "Promotes" So true! So glad to hear someone stating my same thoughts.

Rick, your right, CNN did cover the protest. You also had a very poinaint rant. The problem is no one saw it , they are all watching Fox, I do hope that one day CNN will regain its past reputation as a place to get the news. Now according to the ratings it seems twice as many people trust Fox. I can send you thelink with last weeks cable ratings if you like.

John in IOwa

Please ignore Fox News. They're about as fair and balanced as Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage. Fox has steadily gotten worse since Obama was elected. CNN's coverage of the tea party was very professional (including your footage of the racist posters of Obama). And your ACORN coverage differed from Fox's coverage in that you didn't cover it ALL DAY EVERY DAY. Fox is on a mission to make Obama a one-term president. It's so obvious that any other network would be ashamed, but they're FOX News, so they know no shame.

Your (CNN) coverage of the Tea Parties was not only inadequate, but contained mostly SPINs and put downs to those that attended them.. I don't call that coverage that CNN should be proud of, nor was it even close to being neutral coverage of an event that was attended by a lot of USA citizens, so again CNN (continuously negative news) is out there intentionally insulting a large portion of our citizens..
Shame on CNN for employing an individual that seems to be using the national media to put out a political position.
I only hope they correct the situation in the near future..

I live in South Florida and often watched you (and even trusted your reporting) before you made it to the "big show". Today you hit a new low with "You Lie FOX News". Sour grapes - your ratings are in the dumper. You're green with envy that you are unable to attract the large number of viewers that FOX does. I have permantely blocked CNN from my TV line up. CNN should start reporting the real news instead of having a continual love affair with Obama. You dishonor all Cubans.

Well done Rick!!! Fox really did need to hear the truth and man how you told them.. They need to be reigned in

Well said!! Thank You!
Fox News under the leadership of Rupert Murdoch is know for its sensational journalism, not scholarly, let alone any in depth coverage.

Rick, you need to get over yourself. You are no more a journalist than I am. You are just another Liberal media shill. You are so biased, and agenda focused, it has gotten seriously obvious in the use of Spanish for one of your daily segments.
It's time to stop trying to pass as Centrist when you are not.
I used to enjoy your work when you WERE a journalist.
Now you are just a Liberal version of O'Rielly and Hannity, et al.

you are the best. i wish there were more out there like you. an inspiration!

Dear Rick,
Maybe it's the way you cover an event Rick. CNN is pretty much incapable of reporting an event such as the event in Washington without offering your own brand of 'Fair and Balanced' opinion. Oh for the days of "Dragnet" and "just the facts ma'm" Now I'm not saying you're MSNBC but sometimes the resemblance is interesting.
You know maybe Fox was just talking about the quality of the coverage when they asked where you were. I'm absolutely sure they didn't mean to impugn your (CNN's) integrity.
Gene Schulz

Just watched your rant on Fox news, you say you report the news not promote the news, but for the last Year you've done nothing but promote Barack Obama Fox is the only news organization that will give every american a voice. You call yourself a newsman you need to watch yourself back because you looked very foolish. So sir in turn I would have to say to you that YOU LIE. And No that does not look like the same picture the positioning is different of the Whitehouse.

Rick, I was so proud today. At work, I am mostly surrounded with Fixed News viewers. I hear all the time how they are the only "fair and balanced" news network. While if you listen to my coworkers, you'd think that they live in fear of their own shadow. They say such outlandish things that I started to think they are all insane. They call all other mainstream news sources as liberal, but Fixed News as the only news network today that is able to expose the truth.
I think you should have an investigation of them.
You did today what I would have hoped someone had done earlier. I am very proud.

I believe what Fox meant is that CNN did not cover the event in a fair and balanced manner, but rather did what it always does [with the exception of Lou Dobbs], that being to put a liberal/Democrat spin on everything it touches. This accusation is of course true, with CNN clearly more interested in trying to paint the protestors as racists and/or whack jobs. Your "reality check" comment aimed at Fox is actually pretty funny when you yourself just mentioned there were "thousands" of protestors in Washington on the 12th. Thousands?......really, it looked more like hundreds of thousands to me. But honestly, how are we supposed to take anything you say seriously....you being the same guy who claimed a week ago the Texas school board that refused to show the Obama school speech, but did allow it's children to take a bus to Texas Stadium [ to hear a previous speech by former president Bush], was actually potentially putting the children in danger. Rick, you crack me up!.............

I watch all the networks but am usually disappointed at the jabs at conservatives on cnn news reports and the outright insults by msnbc. fox news is that NEWS they and their commentators give opinion they don't pretent to impartial like the so called "journalists" on other cable sources. Your outrage may get simpathy from like minded folks but it won't win over anyone driven away by the spin. cnn did cover the march but at EVERY opportunity they went negative and cast it in a less then complimentary light. So don't be mad. Just don't pretend that your network is above it. you sir are not impartial ever, But it ok cause you don't have to be.

Illegitimis non est carborundum and keep up the good work.

Go get them Rick!

You dedicate more air time to "promoting" than "covering". Admit it. You would not be on air explaining yourselves if you did an adequate job at being nonpartisan.

Rick Sanchez-Pelosi,
You should get an oscar for that desperate display of crybaby antics. The fact is cnn barely covered the event with on the ground "journalists" that very few people have ever heard of who spent the majority of their time trying to paint these Americans as racists and/or nut jobs. Your organization didn't decide this rally was worth the time of your best known anchors until the ratings after the fact told the story in favor of Fox News AGAIN and the way they covered it. The same truth is present, since you brought it up, about the acorn story. You and yours didn't want to cover that either until it blew up the way that any corruption story of that magnitude should have. It took two conservative kids to blow the roof off of this story because organizations like yours failed, that's right FAILED! Fox News continues to beat you and everyone else because people get tired of watching the press that continues to beg for the liberal agendists table scraps and report in the way that is geared toward satisfying the the left wing with the majority of your so called "reporting". Pick yourself up and dry your eyes. Try choking down dinner with a tall glass of dignity tonight. Your organization is falling behind Fox News because of the poor job you guys are doing. Try being more like Fox News, they know how to call it. It's called integrity.

Excellent reporting, Rick !!
- I just saw your report on Wolf Blitzer's Situation Room.

I love how you emphasized the difference between PROMOTING and COVERING that rally !

You are so damn right on with that statement !

We want more honet and direct reporting like this, everytime something like this happens.

Go Rick Sanchez – speak the truth clear and loud so everybody knows they are not alone with the exact same thoughts !

You rock, Rick!!! Fox News: Fair and Balanced? Not on your life! I live in a "house divided," my husband in one room watching Fox, absorbing all the vitriole (sp), negativity, and rhetoric. And I, in another room, ever so thankful for CNN's thoughtful, civil, and respectful panels, allowing me to form my own opinions and not have others' views shoved down my throat. Think maybe it is now time for a Rick Sanchez/Glen Beck (Independent???!!!) debate. Keep up your fantastic reporting!!

YEA RICK!!! How nice to hear the truth, and I fear for the people who sit in front of Fox News every day , and drink up every word thinking that they are getting (fair & balanced anything.) Very SAD.

I salute you Mr. Sanchez !

I've just watched a part of your show today on Wolfe Blitzer (just got home from work) about fox news lying that CNN did not cover the tea party demonstrations. Thankyou so much! it's about time that someone who has a voice standup to this so called news organization. All these people do is divide, incite people, lie, and promote hatred among Americans. I and my family are so so so grateful to you Rick. Just an idea for fox news..... how about changing their slogan to fox news.. UNFAIR AND UNBALANCED! You are right Sanchez... They LIE!

Go CNN, Go Sanchez!

Rick: don't blame Fox News for CNN's lack of viewers. Take responsibility. Your challenge of Fox's journalistic integrity sounds a bit like the "pot calling the kettle black". It is sad, regardless of what any other organization does, that CNN – a once proud and respected news organization – not to mention a geniune pioneer in broadcast journalism – has abandoned any semblence of integrity or fairness in its programming. To think of CNN as a journalistic organization is simply laughable. You and CNN management would be better served taking responsiblity for CNN's failure to live up to its original mission and honest standards of journalism than childishly blaming others. Your commentary today is an indication of how far CNN has fallen. Sad.

I noticed that if you post a comment negative to Rick Sanchez it does not get posted here. What Ever happened to freedom of Speech Rick? Or do you only post the ones that kiss your back end.

Hello rick you are right....why should we responding to that fox's creeping.CNN is an internationally respected news channel.but where is the place of fox??? fox is a low level news channel...let them allow to creep. bye rick....!!!!

Greeting my dear friend,,,...I'm a former employee of Turner Security we always meet on the bridge or at the entrance to Headline News!!...I you have always been someone whom I have great respect for.... It made me really proud of you...it was really good to see you GO AFTER fox news....they needed a GOOD Butt kicking and you was the man to do it..

keep up the good work....i do miss working with you!!

Thank you, Rick! I'm so happy to see the lies being rebutted. Can you do some sort of coverage on the form-type emails being sent that are full of untruths, as well? (I'm really tired of getting them from people who truly believe they are doing me a "service" by forwarding the nonsense, and I think it will take a news outlet to disabuse some folks of these beliefs!)

Rick:

Telling Fox sation to check the facts before posting them as truth is what make me watch you Monday to Friday. You are not only a credit to CNN but to all mankind. Please stay focus and continue to inform the public about what is going on around us. I so proud of you.

BanWest

Hi Rick!
Wow! You really tore Fox News a new one! Thats great they needed it!
I sure appreciate CNN for covering ALL of the news with a totally
un biased, professional approach.

Thanks,
C.J. Hadley Jr
Waldorf, Md.

Intertesting, Rick. . .you don't have a grasp for presenting news fairly, nor do you have a grasp of the English language. . .you claim FOX's "facts" are wrong. Rick, a fact can not be wrong. A fact is the truth. Give it up Rick. . .your station picks and chooses what to report, and that is usually whatever favors the so-called 4th person of the Blessed Trinity. FOX owes you nothing. And, for the record, your anger is not becoming.

I have three words for you Rick Sanchez, I love you!
I don't think I have ever gotten high from a commentary before. That was awesome. I am so glad some one finally said something about Fox – they do lie constantly. It is too bad that it took them coming after CNN to do it, but it was no less enjoyable. If only this would put an end to it – I'm afraid they will come after you now. You risked a lot to put your neck out – they are not fair and balanced in revenge, that's for sure.
Fox has tasted blood and they are not going to stop anytime soon.
It is a shame because I think that the average American is so tired of all of the BS. All we hear is one nasty story after another while all we are trying to do is work hard to get out of the hole we were put in, and trying to regain some of our retirement money we worked so hard for. I don't care anymore who was at fault for the economic meltdown, or what they or anyone thinks about Obama, he was elected, he is our president, like it or not. I wish all the others that were elected and sent to WA would work together to solve the issues instead of constantly complaining about everything Obama is trying to accomplish.

Thanks again Rick for the Fox smack down! You have gained a faithful fan! I was lucky enough to get it on tivo and will be playing it again and again!

RE Rick's Rank: Me thinks the Talking Head doth protest too much! If CNN is so fair and so good in its reporting, e.g. the Tea Party march... then why are you 'hopping mad' about what another network has to say. I personally happen to agree with Fox. CNN's coverage of the march was minimal compared to other marches that have taken place in D.C. of late. Normally you would cover such an activity like CA TV covers low-speed chases... 24/7, all day long: e.g Michael Jackson, Brittany Spears, any time President Obama, any other major Democrat makes a move, anything which shows liberal activity. Don't blow a gasket, RIck, it just proves why I change channels when your show comes on. And don't pull the "reporter in harms way card". Sanjay and Anderson are safer in Afghanistan than you or any one else is on the streets of New York.

Right on Rick!! Save the integrity of Journalism...

CNN needs give your show hour a name instead of CNN Newsroom" and they need to give you 'Lou Dobb's 4pm slot to capture a younger, more interactive generation!

Stay on it... you should have a segment "Lies in the Media"

chilling and most courageous rick! wow... keep the light goin' !

Bravo, Bravo to Rick Sanchez. We have been fans of Rick since his days in Miami and have followed him at CNN. Too many people in the spotlight just let things slide instead of confronting lies straight out. CNN and Rick Sanchez, keep up the good work.

Thank you!!! It is about time real news outlets like CNN step up to the plate and confront these bogus allegations about the 'main stream media'. Just because these so called cable and radio news shows say something over and over again, doesn't mean it is true. Thanks for telling and SHOWING everyone what FOX NEWS is all about, propaganda, not news.

WTGGGGGGGG Rick!!!!!!

Can't even count that high, or begin to tell you how many times I have channel checked when our President is on live, and wahlah!, guess whos NOT showing it!!!! Hmmmm Fox Noise perhaps????

Your right Rick, only two words for FOX Noise.................YOU LIE!!!!!!

RICK....YOU LIE

The report CNN reported over and over was "Obama as witch doctor" sign that one of the protesters held up. I was obvious that it is bias reporting. Thats what a news agency of your caliber sends out. Do not throw that first stone at Fox. You have enough sins of your own.

Nice rant about what, you don't really know. CNN spent little time covering the march on the mall. If that had been and ACORN gathering you would have fallen all over your ass to cover it.
How can you possibly mention the people covering the war zones in comparison to you or the rest of CNN. Your sitting on your ass spouting, GOD knows what left wing fringe speak. Sometime next week, try reporting on some like that without being sarcastic or trying to give the Democrat talking points. I know you can;t do it. Your not a real reporter.

Hi Rick,

During CNN's coverage of the Tea Party Protest and assembly at the National Mall, I was very disturbed by some of the offensive signs quite visible in the throngs of people. I wanted to be objective and listen to the speakers who might be interviewed. However, the people invited by your reporters to explain their platform seemed mostly to insult and defame your President, despite reporters' attempts to encourage dialogue. I was so disturbed by the verbal violence that I wept – for the President, for the U.S. and for everyone else trying to make decisions in a climate of dis- chord and deceit. But my spirits were immediately lifted at the unexpected sight of my beautiful Canadian flag in the foreground, attached to a government building, and waving gently to the people below. But, sadly, I don't think they noticed it. If they had, they might not even have understood the friendship and peace symbolized in the wave of our sovereign, democratic Canadian standard.

During CNN's coverage, I tried to blog either TJ Holmes or Don Lemon about the flag. Can't remember who was on during that segment. But my message didn't go through, so I just kept watching in disbelief at the thousands and thousands of people. Gosh, just 9 months ago, on a cold day in January, several millions of Americans and well-wishers from around the world came together to witness the historic Inauguration of President Barack Obama. And now, right or wrong, left, right, or centre, he is going to the mat for, yes, even the throngs we saw and heard in the Mall.

Thank you, CNN, for trying to maintain balance in this often scewed, lop-sided debate. Gracias! Rick, for also going to the mat – on behalf of your network and hard-working colleagues – and for a just, honest society through the media.

Barbara

Hey Rick
I'm a Georgia resident and I was proud of CNN.
I Loved living in Atlanta for many years.
Too bad you came along and spoiled all that.

Hey Rick both stations are highly biased.... have to watch both because I had to wait days to see all the other outlets speak of Acorn.... If the agenda is news you must get it out even if it looks bad for your party... or you look worse! and comments like Gibson makes lib stations look even worse. Racial bias is my big complaint... as trying to make people who believe that less government is more and reform means changing the rules not shoving socialistic medicine down our throats means we are racist, then, your pal Campbell Brown could learn something about real journalism. Comments like that people don't forget. Congress calling us all these names ... we dont forget, but to be self righteous about it when you all have flat out gone out to destroy people of all levels of society in order to keep the agenda going just amazes me. Not answering the hard questions, and threatening to push through an agenda, and name calling the public does ratings no good. Even liberals have some manners and expect more out of our leaders. this doesn't stop some racism on either side of the parties but to pull a racial card sparks of you all trying to rig up issues with our melting pot of Americans. This We wont forget.

Fran, Fox didn't air Obama's one millionth health care speach because it wasn't news!!!!! It's the same campaign speech we've all heard ONE HUNDRED TIMES!!!! OLD NEWS – NOT WORTH WATCHING THE LIES AGAIN!!!

Give it up Rick, CNN may have had one or two small reports, but they and you, did not "cover" the story. If you did, Obamacare would be DOA and it not, because you and your biased news channel are anything but objective. As for your craft, I'll be glad when you and the rest of you liberal striped bigoted fools are out on the street.

Thank you for pointing out the distinction between propaganda and journalism. I know FOX News doesn't know the difference and I'm afraid citizens are forgetting as well. Bravo!

Well done. That was awsome. I loved how you defended yourself & CNN. Fox News is everything but news. I really think we shouldn't talk about them. Makes them think they're important. Wish you all the success.

FOX News has just "jumped the shark" for me. I can't watch them anymore.

Rick Sanchez – Bravo on your report. Excellent job! It's about time somebody shows how distorted some media organizations (like FOX) can be. Thank you, Rick

Right on Rick!
I used to be a Fox News channel watcher – no more! They were indeed in the tank for Bush and is just another other Republican arm that spreads propoganda. I finally woke up. The station was pretty much wrong about everything they promoted, like the Iraq war and Bush being an American hero.
Frankly, I thought your channel covered too much of the tea bag party.
For them to lie and say you did not cover any of it at all was just blatant distortion of the truth. But then, you can't expect too much from that channel.

Keep it up Rick! Great job.

Rick, I feel the need to watch both CNN and FOX in order to get a full presentation of what is being said and done socially/politically.

Just as Jim Spellman only momentarily mentioned a normal mainstream constituency to the tea party gathering - yet more so played up the negative fringe element - FOX has their own skew element due to the partiality of particular broadcasters.

Independent thinkers try to filter out the bias of anyone's news broadcast.

Keep up the good work of trying to be a fair and balanced broadcaster. It's appreciated.

Rick,

Thanks. I didn't know CNN still had the right people. Now I know! Your honesty trumps all networks and you've earned my viewership.

Moving to CNN,
Randy

I watch both CNN and FOX and its like observing the news from two different countries, nay, two different planets. Why is this?

Right on, Rick. Keep calling out the propagandists and keep telling the truth.

I watch Fox all the time cant say I have seen allot of lies there. Anyway the Tea Party was for sure covered on Fox. Really could not find it on CNN. I really did not feel like researching on CNN to find it this is why I watch Fox.

Fox is very balanced media and also opens your mind to what is going on in our country. CNN is only doing what they should and that is "be upset" . Fox has better ratings. Its OK and perfectly normal for them, CNN to do this. Fox and CNN will always attack each other like this.

I also watch CNN. CNN is good for world media that's what I used it for in the Marines in the intelligence field. Our country they "CNN" are really not on the ball. probably "one world thought" and forget we are Americans. Be careful if you are stuck here(CNN). This(CNN) is way more geared towards the world! Very weak on our country. Keep your mind open.

THANK YOU ......... RICK........ FOR CALLING OUT FAUX NEWS!!!!

TELL IT LIKE IT IS!

There is NO WAY you'd have the guts to air half of the corruption connected to our Whitehouse. I read your bio, Rick – MSNBC? that tells me all I need to know about your kind of journalism!ha

You didn't post my response. Whats the matter CNN, you can't handle the truth? You don't want anyone to point out just how biased you are compared to FOX News? Well, Mr. Sanchez, complain all you want, but you can't hide the fact that CNN will never be "fair and balanced"!!!

Way to go Rick! I've seen for myself that Fox News puts a slant on most of their political reports which drove me to CNN and BBC America for real reporting. This latest Fox News antic is undeniable and inexcusable. Thank you for calling them on it! You made my day!

Rick,
That was superb, amazing,excellent and right on!!!
That news organization (can't even mention their name without getting physically sick) is despicable! Bunch of morons who deserved to be called out. You speak for so many of us. Thank you my friend. Que Dios te bendiga.

Rick you are the best, don't let them racist pigs upset you, just wait till Monday they are already whining because President Obama refuse to come on there news show over the weekend.

Rick Sanchez you said to the masses what so many people wanted to say.

The ad was beyond misleading....it was a lie. Keep up the "fair and balanced" reporting. Thank you CNN!

As you said, Rick. . . .check the facts?! Is there a reason you cut off the O'Reily clip when he was showing your newsperson? Sick and tired of seeing these NEWS programs BASH EACH OTHER, spin and deceive. The whole lot of you. And. . ..you seemed so angry and your demand for an apology. . .came across less than professional.

the only reason Faux news ratings is high is because, when he get suspended he came back with a vengence, and every one is trying to see what he's up to.

Rick Sanchez,

For many years CNN has been my pillar for fair and honest information .. but it seems in the last 12/15 months CNN has become the "mop and glow", the "3 for a dollar" news program...

I've always been a fan of yours Rick - until tonight.

See, I was able to watch 6 hours of the 9/12 project (Tea Party) and their brave march to DC this last weekend (obviously with the only station that really covered it – Fox) - and with one easy click I was only able to watch 35 minutes.? .. maybe only 40 minutes of CNN's coverage.??

At first, I thought it was just me .. but after talking to friends in Philly, Atlanta and Miami, they to didn't see much (if any) of your 5 minute coverages .. aaah, where was CNN's coverage.?!? – with 200 channels, you had to be somewhere.

Rick (pick your number) 100,000 to 400,000 citizens left their homes in Dallas, Green Bay, Charlotte, Cleveland, Atlanta, Pittsburg, Orlando to make sure their voices were heard .... you spent minutes on one of the largest movements in history - but spent days and weeks in Crawford, Texas watching Cindy Sheehan and 11 others show their protest.???

It looks like the only "smack down" that happened tonight, was *you* embarrassing yourself on national TV ...

Lost fans from Philly to Miami.!

-

Rick I just want to say thank you. Clearly Fox News anchors have forgotten the rules of journalism and they have been looked over by so many cowards in the media. Rick you and CNN are truly speaking for the American people. Keep up the great work.

I happen to know people at Fox, poor fools.

And I've talked to them extensively about the ACORN story, including the CNN angle.

I have it on good authority that they will FORMALLY APOLOGIZE for their mishandling of CNN's role in the coverage as soon as Rick apologizes, on air, giving details, telling the whole truth, for killing people with his car while driving drunk.

Let me know when I can go ahead with the negotiations.

H.

Rick, I'd probably pay more attention to your message about CNN versus FOX coverage except that you sounded a bit ridiculous going on and on about it. I thought your approach toward FOX was way too defensive and came off as more of a "poor me" pity party. I split my time between CNN and FOX because I choose not to stick with one source for my news. I consider myself an independent. But when your program is on, your style and delivery lead me to change the channel. CNN does a great job, but you come off as ill-prepared. You're just more of a game show host and less of a serious commentator. Sorry, your FOX sob story fell on deaf ears.

CNN and Fox News are both partisan toadies! Watch BBC or, better still, Deutsche Welle to find out what is really going on.

Rick,
Thank you so much for standing up for your colleagues and your reputation. I always witness Fox telling lies and erroneous information all the time but no one disputes them but you, Rachel Maddow and Kieth Olberman. Everyone else acts like they are afraid of the right wing media.
I am either a democrat nor republican I am so tired of the diviseness that this news organization is perpetrating.

Rick, I am an independent voter and I think ALL news coverage, including yours, is lousy. I guess I'd like to know why you care what FOX is doing? Likewise, why does FOX care what you are covering? If you think you're insulted, trying being a viewer of ANY news show. They are all terribly biased, and are scared to report any real news objectively. I mean, seriously, CNN is preaching about fairly covering a mostly Conservative movement in the same way that FOX would say it fairly covered the Million Man March! And give me a break: your "craft"?!? You sit behind a desk, and pompously preach falsehoods. You on CNN, Bill O'Reilly on FOX and Keith Olbermann on MSNBC stink. Shame on you all for reporting your opinions as news.

RIGHT ON! IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE TOOK FOX NEWS ON – A JOB WELL DONE. HOPE THEY WILL REMOVE THEIR "TUNNEL VISION' GLASSES AND HEARING AIDS. WE, TOO, WONDER WHERE THE "FAIR AND BALANCED" COMES FROM.

I really wish that each news channel would actually cover the news rather then their political stance. Please cover things fairly all sides!!!
I say the same to all station. Some how the news got lost with people's opinion. Frankly I really don't care what you think. Good news I can think for myself. Give me the facts and I can make my OWN judgement.

Joe Wilson my hero

Very well said Rick...that other network is far from being fair or balanced.

Tens of Thousands of American people would say No you really didn't cover it . CNN use to be a worth while news organization, now the only news person seems to be Lou Dobbs, the rest of you are having to do catch-up. Such a shame

Good job calling out Faux Muse. They did get more attention for their rally and if other news outlets also prove by rebroadcasting their own coverage, it is a publicity win for them. I don't think they care about facts, even the fact that they lie. They also lied about the number of participants they stirred up. I watch your news and appreciate your honorable ethics. Too many carnival barkers masquerade as news men on the air and you are a wonderful exception.

Rick,

I'm totally please with what your response to FOX regarding their add. Keep up the good work, Rick....CNN is my favorite channel everyday....nice weekend...!!!

Hi Rick:
Well let it be known! You made my day!

Unfortunately Fox is included with our satalite TV package! That led me to "almost thinking" about flipping chanels just to take a peek. Alas you saved me from eternal damnation for having had done so! Be careful though, Rick! Those characters @ Fox are of another world ... Mars, Venus or maybe even Pluto! This is a fact ... and certifiable by the simple obvious truth ... that they sure don't know what the hell is going on in this world!
Regards,
Charles Williams

Rick,
why you would want to report on a gat hering of mentally ill outcasts is beyond me. There are more important issues calling for your attention.

I watched your show today, Rick, when you "called out" FOX news and I say "Bravo." That network gives the media a bad name. It is a shame, too, because I used to watch FOX but lately I cannot stand to watch them spread their lies. Recently, I heard Sean Hannity say that President Obama called insurance providers..."bad people." Obama said EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE...he said, "they aren't bad people..." Then I was watching the President at a rally at the University of Maryland, where he explained about the healthcare plan. FOX didn't even run it. How can anyone who watches FOX get a true picture? Well, keep up the good work, Rick. We need more journalists to "call out" FOX News and their so-called professionals.

Bravo Rick. Bravo!

I watched Hannity on Fox news last night. The program was about the water being shut off and the farmers were outraged. The man who was trying to explain why this was happening, was not allowed by Hannity to give the answer to this problem. Hannity kept shuting him off. This is what happens when Fox news has a story. You only hear one side of the story. They shut off anyone who tries to talk.
This isn't the first time this has happened. It happens all the time.
The viewer hears only their (Fox) side of the story.
Thanks Rick for telling it like it is. Love your show

the answer is simple: let the advertilsers on Fox know you will boycott their products until they cease to financially support lies,

I am an international student in the United States. Having stayed here more than four years, I have now developed ample knowledge about American politics at least to be able to distingush which media is more biased on specific issues. Now, CNN is the world's most respected, famous and popular media, and everyone in my country knows CNN but never heard of Fox!! I did not even know Fox before I came to the United States. Although reputation does not express whether certain media are biased or not, according to my experience, Fox news is much more heavily biased and more conservative so that I felt sometimes offended, and I saw numerous others, who are like me studying in the United States, had felt the same way. Lately, Fox news said that CNN did not report on several issues, which I followed every bit of it in Korea. I saw them covered even while I am in Korea, but Fox missed them while it is operating in the States? No wonder why Fox is not internationally respected, Seemingly it is out of touch with reality, which only has created division in the United States of America, which I think the best country in the world.

Wow-incisive!

Wow. Rick thank you for saying what needed to be said. I'm appalled at the state of journalism in this country on both sides of the fence. What ever happened to labeling something an editorial? Fox news is harming the integrity of your trade and more people like yourself need to STAND UP! GREAT WORK!!!!!!!

Fox. . . news. . .Now there's an oxymoron.

Oh, Rick, you're so wrong as usual. Yes, CNN "covered" the march on Washington. That is, if "covered" is defined as "covering your butts" by giving it the token, minimal coverage so you couldn't be accused of being as biased as your poor step-sister, MSNBC. Just enough coverage so you could look stupidly into the camera and say something canned and dumb like, "You lie".

Your network had crews sleeping on the side of the road 24/7 with Cindy Sheehan, giving her back rubs and warm kisses, while her and three spooky fellow travelers just out of rehab held up stupid signs and protested Bush outside his home. By the way, if a small band of conservatives camped outside of Obama's home, or his ridiculously expensive vacation rental in Martha's Vineyard, would that make them "racists"? Would they get 24/7 sentimental coverage like you guys gave Sheehan? You know the answer to that, Rick. You guys would label them racists and law enforcement would cart them away.

You guys don't fool us anymore, Rick. We have information options.

Good for you Rick. Keep it up!

Hi, Rick, I really enjoy your show! I especially related to the piece about Fox News's ad. In the same spirit of your anger, I believe Fox News is all about discrediting our president. Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck lead the pack in trying to bring down the government with President Obama, their
prime target. I believe Fox stars and their panels are going beyond free speech into defamation, which, in the case of government, is called, sedition! The definition of sedition, according to the college edition of The New World dictionary, is "the stirring up of discontent , resistance. or rebellion against the government in power." Does that break the law?
I hope so. They are dangerous! Those who watch their shows have to be of the same mentality and with the weak laws we have about guns as displayed in the Tea Party, violence is just aound the corner. I hope they can be stopped.
Janet in Hawaii

Are you yelling to convince me, or yourself? Sure, CNN has covered the tea parties – in a mostly hostile, condescending fashion. Coverage of the various antiwar protests over the last few years ignored the various loons on the left who were part of those protests; on the other hand, your network seems to focus almost exclusively on the (equally nutty) fringe elements on the right. So sure, you covered the story; just in a particular way.

Acorn? CNN ignored the story for days, until it became impossible to ignore. Almost as if you finally sighed and said to yourselves "oh ok, I guess we need to do this"

So Rick, stop being angry. Ponder the reasons why tea party audiences are so hostile to your network and its reporters. Ponder the reasons why your ratings continue to plummet. Ponder the reasons that so many of us take anything you say about the middle east as so much agit-prop from the Palestinian side of the story.

After you ponder all that, maybe you'll stop being angry, and start doing something productive with your time. In the meantime, I'm sure your ratings will continue to drop...

thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
your response to fox new was absolutely 100% right on. i loved how you said there is difference between "promoting a story" and "reporting a story". fox news seems to promote news rather report it and they are definitely not "fair and balanced. keep up the great reporting. cnn is #1 in my book.

Hey Rick,
I was watching you get all bent out of shape this afternoon about your coverage vs. Fox's coverage. I was only watching CNN because fox had a commercial on.

Maybe if you took some lessons from FOX you wouldn't be so angry. They must be doing something right.

Thank you Rick for telling the truth about Fox.

Rick you did the right thing. Don't worry about the few sour grapes.
You have the majority. Anyone that follows Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh can be easily hypnotized, and these guys are taking them right to the bank. The educated people are behind you and our president. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah I used to be Republican.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I am so glad to see someone speak out about all the lies being put out by so called news stations. Real news stations and the personalities do not eject their own biases into a news program. Again Rick Thank you and CNN better keep you around you are a true journalist.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my fav cnn guys and gals...rick sanchez, anderson cooper, don lemon, wolf blitzer, t.j. holmes, campbell brown, john king, and betty nguyen!!!!

my fav fox guys and gals..........none

Rick, i think your response to Fox new's rubbish allegations that 'CNN did not cover the protests' was excellent and to the point. We are very proud to have reporters like you putting the facts on the screen and explaining to viewers who exactly is covering the story and who is promoting the senseless, false claims that some conservatives are making.

These conservatives are all creating this mess just because they cant accept the fact that corporate America's control over the government is slowly but surely weakening. They want to support their sponsors and that's why they are making up sensationlist claims regarding president Obama's policies.

I'm not a fan of your work but I thank you for doing the right thing by pointing out Fox news dirty attitude and encouraging people to find out the difference 'covering a story' and 'promoting a story'.

Good work. All the best.

Yea Sanchez you and CNN were there, I saw you. You were at Sotomayor's house falling over yourself congratulating her on helping you destroy America!!!!

The truth always hurts. CNN & MSNBC has always been one sided and always will be. Rick came off like a kid in a candy store that didn't get his way. Stop sucking up and cover the truth for a change, not your own personal agenda.

LOL.
Funny stuff, you calling Fox biased

I guess you don't see your own liberal bias?

I watch both FOX and CNN in order to see both sides, but FOX does have more NEWS programs while CNN seems to be doing more puff-pieces.

Thanx for calling out that stupid FOX News (TeaCrap).
YOU tha man Rick!!

Thank you Rick

I was in the hospital with my father in recovery and I saw your report and I stood up and clapped all the way through.

It's so nice to see that there are some journalists with balls out there. Keep up the good work.

Mr. Sanchez, I don't have a television, so I'm not very familiar with you. However, I must say that after seeing you address Fox News, I'm definitely a fan. You've said what I've been saying for years; all media is biased, but Fox News has an agenda. You've given me a voice. Thank you for that.

- Bobby

Rick, you rock! Finally somebody stands up and speaks truth to the phony journalism of Fox news. Keep it going. Vamos arriba!!

Fox was right. CNN pretended to cover the story but instead spent the entire week calling people that were at the tea party racist. I like others that were there ,know this is a simple case of CNN continuing it's ongoing efforts to protect and defend Obama. The story was simple, middle America, which never has protested like this before, showed up with a million people or more in the capital. Why, because the democrats are trying to bankrupt this country and drag us ever futher down the road towards socialism. The rally was one of, if not the largest, protest rallies ever held in Washington, and was attened by hard working people of good concience. Did CNN cover it? NO WAY. All they did is put up the same five most offensive signs they could find and call and discuss racist! That is not coverage. What a joke and no wonder everyone watches Fox News. CNN is a joke.

Thank You Rick. It's about time someone took Fox News to task for lying. I wish more people in the media would question their lies and half truths.

All the Best

Think's Rick, Glad someone else knows the truth about Fox.

I watch fox news and cnn.. it appears to me that fox reports new that other networks dont,, Cnn may mention it , but its a footnote... I watch and listen to all views of the news... Problem is FOX is more accurate than opinionated,,, and they are opinionated at times... Why cant we just get the facts,, and not who someone likes or dislikes in office,,, when a news networks acts more like a referee in sports than a person who loves the agenda, they will get all the american support. I dont want yours or theirs opinion I want the facts.... Period

Mr. Sanchez -

Please get a clue. CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, &MSNBC have been engaged in far too much "butt-kissing" of President Obama and his administration. We have no choice BUT to resort to Fox News for the other side of the story. Instead of whining about Fox News, engage in a little investigative reporting and dig a little on this president, like you and other major media outlets did relentlessly of Bush and his administration. The one good about Obama's Administration...the ONLY good thing about Obama's Administration..is that it sheds light on the bias of CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC and MSNBC. Guess what Mr. Snachez...the liberal media has been called on the carpet and it is a really good thing.

Thank you, Rick! I know this isn't the first time you've called out Fox News, and I hope you know how much it's appreciated by many of us who value truth and fairness. Honesty and integrity is vital in journalism. I have been watching CNN for years, and your show is definitely the highlight of their daily programming. Thank you for reporting the news in a, dare I say, FAIR AND BALANCED way.

Elegantly done, sir. Thank you.

Rick – There needs to be a lot more caaling out Fox News. Fox isn't even a news outlet. They are an entertainment program that simply isn't funny. SNL has a btter news program than Fox's "fair and balanced" show. Excellent work. Thanks for exposing the farce! I hope to hear much more!

I just went to Fox News to see what they were reporting on this story concerning their ad. I found nothing. This is one of the biggest stories on the web right now. Here is my question. HOW DID FOX MISS THIS?

Hola Rick,

I came back to see if my comments were posted and since my grandson is asleep I had time to read all the posts. I was surprised to read the negative comments. So in the spirit of calling people out let me address your critics.

Dudes, If you disagree with Rick so much what the hell are you doing watching his show? Go back to the hole you crawled out of and go back to watching those morons at you know where.YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY HERE. NONE, NADA,ZIP. And while I have your attention let me tell you one more thing: That Beck fellow and the O'Reilly moron and the Limbaugh guy are the worst kind of prostitues there are. I pray they are all gone by the time my grandson grows up.

Fired Up!!!!! Ready to go!!!!!! And for the rest of the comments, they are so right on. I can't stop feeling so grateful for what you have done today. I am soooo proud of you., Tell your Mom she did a great job!!!!

Just to say Thank You! Please keep it up, and maybe it might encourage others to do similar.

Thanks Rick for shedding more light on Fox News' biased reporting. I stopped watching them over 2 years ago because of their one-sided reporting. I just wish they would stop with the "Fair and Balanced" slogan they use because THAT'S A LIE!!!!! I am an Independent who voted Republican on most issues to include President and boy I have been regretting every minute of it to. Fox News is too far to the right for me. I watch CNN for my news reports.

Thank you doesn't say enough, Mr. Sanchez. Finally, someone said "You Lie" to the liars. I gave you a standing ovation after I saw the video. Bravo!

I watched it at just the right moment. I'd just been browsing at mediamatters.org and had just viewed the clip of Bill O'Reilly announcing that Fox and the radio folks were now setting the political agenda in the country. When I heard him, I had that sinking feeling that I get when something ugly is true. They have been setting the agenda by promoting lies and fear mongering. The same people who appear on Fox go on the other cable channels and spread their stories with nary a serious challenge. With a sigh, I concluded that O'Reilly and Beck and Faux and Rush, extraordinarily unprincipled all, with their appeal to the 1% of our population who wants to live in a perpetual state of agitation, really do set and dominate the discourse, and that's the way it would be.

Mr. Sanchez, you have just fired the shot that should be heard around your industry. From this day forward, others should follow your example and marginalize Fox. And, all on-air cable news personalities should be required to watch your segment. Steal from them the "You Lie" meme and use it back at them – over and over – until it loses it's impact for all. Have a daily "You Lie" segment on your show and expose anyone who is trying to mislead the American pubic. And while you are at it, give credit to Shep Smith for doing his part when he bites the hand that feeds him. Be "fair and balanced" and use that phrase as often as you can. Take all of their talking points and spin them to your advantage when possible, mock them when not. Continue to lead and, who knows, others may follow.

You have the power, Mr. Sanchez, to launch an effort to undermine the grand plan of Murdoch, et al, to turn this country in to one big Jerry Springer show. I don't know what motivates Murdoch – money or politics or both, but I do understand his influence. Fox news has gone from being cheerleaders for a Repubican administration to being the National Enquirer of cable TV. For eight months, 24/7, they've hammered away at this President and this administration, They lie with straight faces. They pollute the airwaves. And they do it for money. There's a word for that.

I am so glad someone had the hart to go after the biggest liar of all time FOX NEWS.

Rick, Thank you very much man for the great piece on Fox News. While I am a supporter of this President. I'm far more an ardent supporter of our Constitution and this country. Thank you for saying it like it is. My mom and our fellow Hialeahans are very proud of you. Thanks for standing up for you organization against the lies that Fox's "fair and balanced" are known for. Stay strong and remember that true journalism means speaking the truth.

Rick:

There's no doubt you guys were at the event, but your coverage was minimal. You sent your second string reporters to cover it (you couldn't even pronounce the name of one of them) and they did everything they could to disparage the people protesting. There was also no effort made on CNN's part to describe the magnitude of the event, both in terms of the number of people there and the impact it had on the issues at hand. The fact that you feel the need to heatedly defend your network says it all. If you had really covered the event in a proper, professional way, none of this would be necessary. Actions speak louder than words.

This is not to say that FOX news is any better. Their bias in the other direction is pathetic. Frankly, I'm getting fed up with all of you. I've started turning to BBC for my news, as they seem to be the only ones holding on to any shred of professional journalism. It's a pretty sad day when an American has to go to an overseas network to find unbiased news on what's happening in this country.

Rick,

Amazing Job! Thank you so much for standing up to Fox N*** and their scrupulous tactics.

Please recognize that Fox N*** is generating incredible amounts of fear and hatred in this country towards our government, fellow Americans and the fragile thread of civility in this country. Worse, they won't stop as long as ratings keep climbing, DEMs are in office or it's too late to turn back. They need to be called out frequently for their lies and distortions, before all the cool-aid is gone. People are tired, scared and plain sick of their behavior. We need a voice.

I lost confidence with fox starting with 9/11. They were constantly retracting stories. Same thing with the DC sniper coverage. CNN would often let others scoop them because they wanted to verify stories. Fox blatantly placed false information in ads, which ran in three papers: The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and The New York Post.. CNN has the responsibility to respond for themselves but also it's viewers. I watched in depth coverage of tea baggers on cnn, they interviewed several folks, to my surprise seem like really nice people. Not only once but a number of times. However unlike Glenn Beck who called for the protest & claimed to organize it, cnn did not promote it. Also I painfully watched on cnn the coverage on Acorn. Wolf Blitzer did not pull any punches he really asked some tuff and direct questions during his in person interview with the president of Acorn. Fox went too far.In law, defamation–also called calumny, libel (for written words), slander (for spoken words), and vilification–is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. and so on. Fox is guilty n if I was cnn I would sue. They have a very good case.

I think you-–or MSNBC-–should "take on" Fox news-–by revealing their flagrant lies by running their baloney next to the truth on a split screen,

For Example, within the last week Obama said in a speech, "insurance executives aren't bad people, they just make more money" by denying claims, etc

That evening I switched to Fox News to see how they covered the speech and, sue enough there was Sean Hannity saying "the President today said that Insurance Executives are bad people....."

Now, if I , who have watched Fox News less than 5 times in the last year can catch this one, there must be a lot of it going on,

Look, Fox is not trying to report news. They are trying to anger and embolden an army of Americans that are in the minority. Because Fox News put out this ad, there are going to be a certain number of people that just believe it. Why? Well.... because they are brainwashed that Fox News has the "real" news and any other source is just trying to trick you. It's all very cultish.

CNN is not perfect, but it sure looks like Rick Sanchez got a full on "Swoosh" with this one though. Will anybody that truly believes the Fox ad watch it? No... they are going to be sitting in thier little circle jerk of mal-reality.

This whole neocon movement is like a puffer fish. They are angry/scared and poof out with media coverage, radio etc etc on how big the movement is. It is not that big. Reality is that the true neocons are a little itty bitty portion of our country. They get out the big signs with witch doctor Obama/Birther stuff/Bury him with Kennedy/etc etc.... and they get on the news. But the puffer fish is a small minority. I know ONE person who went to a T-bag party... ONE... and I live in a pretty conservative state.

Rick i hope i am doing this right this twitter thing i mean i recently receives a back brace that my pain doctor ordered for me that he had not even told me about before he ordered it. Anyway after about six months i received a bill from the company that sent it to me. Rick it was a bill for $995 for a simple back brace that you can find on line for about $200 at the most and my insurance Co. Anthem Blue Cross of California approved it, and they paid $374. Now the company expected me to pay the remainder which is $621. I called them and asked them why they waited so long to send me a bill first of all and then told them i was going to send it back to them as it was still in the bag unopened they would not let me do so. I told them that the price for the back brace was way out of line and that i was not going to pay and you know they tried all the threats and how they would ruin my credit you know the regular crap they tell everyone. The problem is a lot of people especially the elderly get scared and pay it. Well first i called Blue Cross and filed a complaint about the cost and how could they approve that amount, anyway in the long run my complaint was shot down and they paid it anyway. When the company called me about a week later and told me to pay i let them know that i was going to send letters to the news shows and maybe even to President Obama she said she was sorry to hear that, and i hung up. Well about 2 days later she called me back and told me to keep the brace and that my bill would be marked PAID IN FULL!!!!!!! Now my question is this why doesn’t the government do something about these kinds of things??? I do not want them to just fine companies like this one they need these companies that are cheating people out of a LOT OF MONEY This company R S Medical 14001 SE 1st st. Vancouver WA. 98684-9939 866-817-6946 need to return all this money that they have stolen from all of these people. I am so disappointed in my country what the hell are we going to do?????????? Now Rick please do not use my name unless it will help others get some kind of a large refund i don’t want to pay that $621 so other people can get a few dollars back. I hope you receive this and read it on the air, if you do will you let me know first so i can see it??? You can edit it as you see fit, but leave the important parts in.

Thanks

Rick,

I'm from AFRICA but l think our networks are even doing better. News reporting is different from opinions. I see most of United states cable news are full of opinions and judgemental. At least CNN is doing much better than Fox news..

I sometimes wonder this is a country i wanted to live in afterall. God bless USA.

CNN shouldn't worry about what FOX "news" is reporting, as they realy don't report the news. Some people I know watch FOX, I think they are waiting for new sightings of "BAT BOY" and weather or not The president hired aliens to shoot his opposition with ray guns!
I cannot watch a channel that will hire a man that says he hates the 9/11 victims families!

Rick,
I thought your temper tantrum was too much. It was unprofessional to show so much anger. All you needed to do was show the proof that CNN covered the story. Saying that FOX promotes instead of covers was not fair. CNN promotes too. Please don't try to tell me that CNN did not promote Obama over Hillary Clinton. CNN then promoted and protected OBama and Biden in the presidential race. I watch both CNN and FOX in an attempt to get a true picture of what is happening. Neither is totally "fair and balanced."

The New York Times made a mistake reporting the Fox ad. They said Fox reports using a "conservative point of view". No, Fox goes far beyond that. They twist, distort and lie about facts of stories and this damages the nation. Maybe free speech allows such distortions of truth, but the nation has a responsibility to defend itself. Fox distortions have hurt America.

This incident should be used by legitimate news organizations to go for the Fox News jugular. This malicious, fake news organization has caused deep damage to the United States by misinforming its citizens on WMD, qualifications of Bush for President, the attack on Iraq and many other stories.

A pure propaganda organization with ties to a political party does not serve the interests of a free, democratic society.

Democracy badly needs fair, honest media and Fox is about as far from that goal as is possible. Rupert Murdock is a foreigner who cares nothing about the United States, the health of our democratic government, nor most importantly, does he care about our people and their welfare.

It's about time.
Thank You Rick.............

I guess you missed the court ruling some years ago when Fox was being sued for lying.
They won the case, but not because they were not guilty of lying, but that they were permitted to lie, and they have taken advantage of that ever since

"In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States."

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/15/21055/1935/848/568666

Having written a response to say what story they did not cover and how they changed it instead into a race baiting story, CNN won't post it. They are not only so biased they can't cover the story, they won't print the truth either. I wondered why such a high percentage of responses here were liberal, now I know. They refuse to publish responses that point out the truth about how they did not report the story because it makes them look bad. So the moderators here don't moderate they dispose of responses that point out facts! Those little inconvenient truths are not welcome at CNN.

Rick,
You seem a bit defensive. Could it be that Fox is trouncing you in the ratings? CNN was late on the uptake on both the TEA party and ACORN. CNN is reacting rather than leading. CNN is out of tune with the many many Americans who don't want Pres Obama's transformation of our country. CNN in the excerpts you showed attempted to paint the TEA party folks as fringe right wing radicals and was more interested in talking about Rep Wilson than reporting the primary reasons why the People are upset. I know it's hard to be in second place but failing to address the ACORN corruption until Fox News forced you to is not journalism. We are smart, thoughtful, and proud Americans and we will watch the network that informs us.

Great job, Rick!! Kudos for calling them out! Keep it up!

FYI – Received a phone call at 9:26 this am, Saturday, September 19, 2009. The # was 1-800-Service, listed on my phone as 1-866-839-1376. A woman introduced herself as calling from Citizens United/Dick Morris and used the FOX News name. (After research on-line, it appears to come from League of American Voters?)

They requested I listen to a recording referencing Dick Morris. It was all about President Obama and his "liberal" leanings and his lack of success with the stimulus package and everything else in his term so far. They also stated they would be sending a copy of his book.

Someone else came on the line (a man this time) at which time my husband and I were both on the line after listening to all this total nonsense. We stated that nothing they said was true and that Fox News should start reporting the news instead of stirring things up! I guess we may have jumped the gun a bit without knowing that they were telemarketers, but I can't stand much more of this ignorance of facts.

I don't usually answer 800 numbers as they tend to be more trouble than they are ever worth, so I was a bit flustered, but also curious, when FOX News was quoted in the narrative.

More real news reporters in the media need to do what you and Keith Olbermann do all the time and expose this nonsense being spread around our nation. Unfortunely, our congressman do not seem to be able to do it.

Thanks for listening.

Hay Rick please dont cry anymore about FOX. CNN covered the tea parties we get it. And PLEASE stop with the race this and race that. I am so sick of everything has got to be about race. Look a white man beat a black woman that may have spit on him going in a Cracker Barrel so it was said,also if anyone does not like Obama it is because he is black. Everyday it is always a white person has done this or that to a poor poor black person. I am not saying that we do not have a problem with race in this World. But it goes all ways.Here in Wilson,North Carolina we have every kind of people White,Black, Mexican,and Arabs and the truth is they all HATE each other.Just last week two black kids beat the crap out of a white kid just because the one black kid did not want the white kid to sit beside him and the school and the police said it was race even Fox News said it was because of race. Now I may be wrong but as I recall I watched Fox,CNN,HLN all that day and only Fox said anything about race. And the only reason for that is I think is that it was what the black kids did to the white kid and not what the white kid did to the poor black kids. And the point to this is is there is enough blame to go around for every Race. Also why the world does not call Obama what he is?He is not a black man he is a mixed race of black and white.

Let's hope your shout becomes a roar and others follow your lead. Fox has been running a scam and running it almost unopposed for far too long.

I'm now a died in the wool Sanchez fan!

It was great to also see Campbell Brown address this one head on.
I think FOX is cognizant that it will gain in IT'S viewer base, by making this scurilous charges. The BASE issue of viewers who are also BASE voters for the Right Wing are now inextricably bound up together. I think it's important to note that we are now in a cultural-political-social war of sorts, in the United States. The FOX NEWS?? propaganda machine isn't just a network. It IS, in fact, a propaganda organ of Rupert Murdoch.
The day this swine came into the American market must be called a red letter experience, because he has ruined much of our news experience. The Tabloidization of network TV news>>propaganda>>journalistic (??) arm of the Right Wing of the Republican Party is very aggressive, and very nefarious. Glen Beck apparently is pulling down serious ratings from the "wingnut" audience, but the fact remains ... the wingnut audience if a legitimate group of very dedicated viewers.
The most alarming trend now is the increase in violence in our discourse. The Town Hall Shout Outs, folks, have literally moved into the Joint Session of Congress Shout Out, and we're now seeing more racists and extremists with tendencies of violence entering the fray.
I'd suggest that people read "The Rise And The Fall of The Third Reich," by William L. Shirer. I equate the larger and larger segment of "shouters and screamers" as the beginnings of American Sturmabteilung, the SA's Brown Shirts, Hitler utilized, in the early stages of Nazism, to intimidate, browbeat verbally, then literally, physicall, even to the point of lethal beatings ... and there's no doubt in my mind now that violence may occur if the two sides find themselves in opposition to one another, say, at a Presidential rally.
CNN and any other network has a right to challenge FOX on just about anything.

Rick
Seems as though fox hit a foul ball on this one. YOU however, hit a HOME RUN. Excellent comments Rick!
I admire a "in your face" commentary such as yours.

You're going to go a long way in this business, congrats!

Wow –

Quite a show, Rick. "Coverage," however, should probably be more detailed that cut-ins to an event.

I would not equate CNN with MSNBC, but ahve doubts as to your strong stand on being more balanced or professional in your coverage.

basicly Rick , your a loser. get over it. you cant help it.

So Rick, why not get on TV and explain why CNN picked out the five most offensive signs they can find and tried to use those to label everyone at the Tea Party in Washington as racist? As I was leaving the Tea Party Saturday night we turned on CNN when we got to our car and the first thing that my 18 year old daughter (who happens be one of the top students in her class) heard was a CNN show saying this was all about race, and that mantra has continued to this very day (which I heard again this morning.) Go watch it yourself Rick. Tell my daughter that is how we do things in America. My daughter learned alot about liberal fascism and how they demonize those they don't like, and call people racist to avoid discussing why one million people were in the capital. In fact the Obabma administration and all their liberal media supporters decided that it is better to spend the entire last week calling us all racist than to discuss that two thirds of Ameicans believe this country is going backrupt, and we don't want to add another three trillon dollar pogram on top. By the way it is three trillion if you look to see that Obama doesn't want to start the major expenditures in the health care program until after he is relected. The 10 year cost measured from that point is three trillion dollars not not 800 billion.

That is all just another way to lie to the american people for politcal reasons, just like not ever mentioning the current 37 trillion dollars of unfunded medicare, medicare, and social seurity benefits/entitlements that we face in the future. Our current net worth as a nation is 53 trillion dollars before considering these unfunded obligations. One day we will pay the price as a nation.

Obama projects the national debt as 20 trillion in ten years. That is before the health care plan is added. That amounts to $262,000 per family of four. When interest rates return to 15% to 20% as they were under Jimmy Carter we will not even be able to pay the interest! THAT IS THE STORY!!! Will you run that Rick??? I doubt it, I imagine you will continue the CNN race baiting story, and we will continue to watch Fox for THE REAL STORY.

Rick , you say you give fair news coverage. Why is it I have to go to Al Jazeera to find out what is was happening in AFGHANISTAN? Now I have to go there to find out about Iraq. You are so balanced quit being a mouth piece for first Bush and now Obama. Why are you so slanted on the illegal immigration issue. They have broken the law just like all the other people like Galido and the Va. Tech shooter. Please be balanced because that is what America and it's is about. Justice for all and not for some. Maranatha

I would just like to know why the ACORN scandal has not caused any problems for the current president, since that is how he got in office in the first place..

GO RICK!

Rick,

Great job of exposing Faux News and their lying ad.

We need more of this coming from you, others at CNN, and from other networks. Expose Faux for what they are....lying, propagandists.

I think all of the networks mentioned in that Faux ad should band together and sue Faux. Get the FCC involved. This is just uncalled for on their part.

I see that yesterday, beck played an audio of a 2001 interview of Obama in which he was talking about the constitution. The audio is heavily edited, cutting parts of Obama's speech out. When you listen to it, you cannot tell it has been edited, and it sounds as if Obama is saying that the Constitution is greatly flawed.

Faux has got to be stopped. When someone has to over and over again say they are "honest," they are not honest and have something to hide. When Faux says over and over again that they are "fair and balanced," they are not even close.

The truth is true journalism is dead, with the exception of the 'ole timer', Bill O'Reilly of Fox. The rest of the "zombies", with your help " are allowing the Government to trample all over the Constitution. The Obama administration has nationalized the private sector. It's all about power. What have they done for you ? Nothing..................Go drink so more Kool-Aid.........IDIOT ..........

RICK YOU RULE!!!!!!!

It's about time somebody stood up to FOX News and called them out on their B.S. CNN is my choice for news if I want editorials that lean to the extreme right I'll go to FOX. However I boycott Fox simply because they create stories out of fiction and report them hoping they become reality.

If ever a news agency should be pulled off of the cable networks its FOX news, they lower the standard and IQ of this country.

Thanks Rick, for calling these people out, because what they really are is a propaganda machine for the RNC. I think that their license should be revoked, because they are not a news organization, they are the joke of the news world. These people promote hate, and racism and that should be unacceptable. We Americans that stand for the highest ideals of this great land should void cod all advertisers who sponsor fox-news.

Hey Rick... Fox did give you tacit approval for your coverage, but lets look at the facts, something CNN rarely does. You arw owned by Ted Turner, a leftist, who is married to Hanoi Jane Fonda, another leftist! And Im sure they hire people of like minds.

I thought the job of Jounalists was to report, not offer opinions! And quite frankly thats all I ever hear... why dont you at CNN try that, you report, "we rthe people" (sound familiar), will decide!

By the way, Mr. Orielly is a commentator, not a journalist, as apparently are you!

I realize that I will never see this post and that you certaily wont read it, but I have decided to post it anyway.

You are correct, CNN covered the event. The Fox ad is clearly wrong about that. However, you very sarcastically made the point on your show that CNN "covered the event" and did not "promote the event" as if to imply CNN is perfectly unbiased and Fox News is very biased. However, there are real reasons why Fox News ratings have gone through the roof at the expense of CNN, MSNBC and network news and it has nothing to do with promoting tea parties. It has to do with things like your "star" anchor, Anderson Cooper, derisively referring to those attending tea parties as "tea baggers." For years and years, conservatives have put up with sarcastic, demeaning coverage from CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS. For years, conservatives have believed the news media were stacked against them. Well, yeah, now they have their own network. And, in spite of a rightward slant at Fox, I still believe I will come near getting the real story there, than I will anywhere else. Have you heard about that ACORN story yet, Rick? Charlie Gibson had not. You guys have a LONG way to go to win back credibility with a lot of Americans. Giving outraged rants about Fox News won't do it.

Rick you just don't get it. CNN covered both the ACORN story and the Tea Party protest only when they could no longer be ignored. Does FOX have an agenda? You can bet on that. But so does CNN and MSNBC. CNN has a left of center agenda that shows up in every panel discussion on the network. Your show is always left of center. I watch both CNN and FOX to get the cable news. I believe the truths is somewhere in between. MSNBC is to far gone to even consider. I will admit that the last year I have seen at least some attempt to balance points of view on CNN. However, if you want your viewers back all you have to do is return to the CNN of 20 years ago. Report the news and let viewers decide. The worst two words in the cable news business are "News Analysis". Let the viewer do the analysis. In the long run it better for us and for CNN.

Sorry Rick, though your defense is adequate- your phony outrage is obvious. Also- you know the coverage that was given to the protest by CNN was not what could be called in-depth reporting. Ninety percent of the people that showed up in Washington have genuine doubts about this Congress. The other ten percent or less are the nut jobs( pro life, racist, far right wing nuts, radical crazies) that get their signs shown over and over in the media. Your viewers can't form a realistic idea of why this many Americans are protesting in Washington. They have to go to Fox to get the full story.

CNN should investigate fox news, Fox also lied about the presidential elections when Al Gore was clearly the winner, Fox news reported that Bush was the winner and all hell broke loose. Fox news is a GOP ran operation which influcances the out come of events and CNN should investigate Fox NEWS!!

How we should deal with the hatemongers.
We should all turn out for their public appearances and churches. At every hate-filled, fear-filled, distorted pronouncement we should all point and laugh loudly.
~;^}>

so tea baggers showed up to dc finally. We all know obama isnt gonna play the racd card because he has nothing to gain from it but we ain't stupid. We know. Hey i got a question rick, at all these events, how come i didnt see any black people that wasnt being paid 4 it? Hmm, kinda makes you wonder doesn't it? Fox reality news doesn't show news, it promotes its propganda.
What am i suppose to do when my party promotes hate and racism? How many times has hannity called a black guy a great american? The only thing i ever seen hannity do worthwhile is trying to help the farmers in california and go after that pastor in new york that called obama trash during the campaign but he trashes obama nightly?

Limbaugh says we need to segrogate whites from blacks, wtf?
Where can i start with lou dobbs(he needs to retire because he offers nothing) palin (who is legally brain-dead) pawlenty (who has done nothing for his state but say he doesnt want federal money but then parades around his state saying, look i got money for you)bobby jindal(a complete ongoing diaster in itself) joe the plumber(geez, no comment) the birthers,deathers and the glenn beck show followers(who offer nothing but hate and racism) my party who hasnt done anything 4 this country but make enemies out of our allies and now we are the only country that has the death penalty.
I'm sorry but i dont feel like an american any longer, i just have nowhere to turn?
Hey rick,do me a favor and ask all these people against health care if they would rather let their child die than let the illegal immigrant in the white house(as they say) help them because the insurance companies have 2 make money. I dare you to make a poll on that and we will see where people hearts are really at. The rassuman polls are partisan because they only have fox viewers so off course fox uses that 2 scare the bejesus out of older people. As them that!!!!!

Rick,

I think you missed Fox's point. Fox didn't say you didn't cover the Tea Parties. They said, "You missed the story." This means that you missed the reason these folks were there and what they had to say. The segments you showed seemed to focus on the fringe elements of the demonstration and not the message. You said CNN had 2 satellite trucks and 4 reporters at the event. I am curious what percentage of air time did you give to the "message" of the demonstrators compared to other similar demonstrations? I would like all networks to provide more objective reporting without emotion and accusations. As Joe Friday said, "Just the facts."

Thank you Mr. Sanchez for standing up against these shamless liers at Fox.

RE: MARK WILLIAMS
"pea partiest"
This so called leader
I say to you Rick , Anderson, Wolf, and all CNN anchors don't give this jerk anymore air time. This guys opinion of our president, and minorities as well as the poor , and people on public assistance is appalling.
he can set behind his law books at his desk, and still the only thing I see is a stone cold racist.
Passing out those posters wishing Obama dead like Kennedy , and spiting hatred venom in and throughout our country should not be tolerated.
We need better hate laws. People should be prosecuted. Had minorities and opposing citizens showed up in large numbers there would have been riots at that "PEA" party.
We need to make laws against offensive signs, and hate speech in public. You can do it in your houses, and in your klan group meetings, but not in public.
How about some legislation for this Rick?
I am taking the Bar, and I will push for this one thing.

Rick, it's all about ratings. And sir, your ratings are dismal. Keep pounding your fist harder and sooner or later someone that cares might actually hear you.

Nah, who am I kidding? That ain't gonna happen.

QQ?

The information Fox news posted in that AD was not accurate. But don't point fingers too soon. Look at CNN's coverage: two out of the four examples you used are hardly "fair and balanced." The reporters' questions and comments are so transparently colored by their own position (opinion) on the matter, are they not? It seems to me that they targeted certain crowd and encouraged certain responses from the protester in order to make their point, do they not? I would not call that good journalism. Of course, I don't doubt your authentic indignation. I just hope you do not hold a personal grudge against Fox News just because it often presents views different from yours; otherwise, it is very hard to determine just about how "balanced" you are as a journalist. Perhaps now you realize that one just cannot help, but to scream "YOU LIE" when one is being misrepresented. It is a good lesson for all: Fox should learn from this – don't mess with CNN; CNN: don't let your reporters misrepresent people in a passive aggressive manner; most importantly, you, Mr. Sanchez: hope you have gained deeper understanding now about why sometimes people (yes, even congressmen and you journalists) shout childish two words such as "YOU LIE" when they are angry and believe that they have been mistreated. I hope you will share your learning with your colleagues. Now, as for an ordinary citizen like me, I just want my voice to be heard - WITHOUT MISREPRESENTATION - whether through Fox, CNN, NBC, or CBS! Now journalists, go out and do what you supposed to do!

So glad you left the Miami market (WSVN)- you sucked then and you still do- that is why they have you in a time slot that no one watches. Maybe if you whined a little less and did some real reporting CNN will put you in a time slot that matters and be able to play with the big boys!

Rick – Thank you for exposing FOX distortions and lies. Every day they degrade journalism, the USA, and the people/events they cover. In effect, foreign owner Murdoch seems to have declared war on America. When someone finally fights back (besides Olbermann) it gives the rest of us hope. There are millions of us out here who wish more respected journalists like you would fight back. Why can't more CNN reports include the debunking of FOX lies and, as you put it, "promoting" vs. reporting. The negative effects of FOX on our country IS news. Please cover it s such. Please forward this to execs and other CNN reporters and ask them to help restore some dignity to journalism by covering the news of FOX's assault on our country. Thank you for what you do. I appreciate your professionalism and courage. – Jerry Thompson

I have seen the coverage myself. After listening to some of the anti-health reform protesters, I was wondering what motivated so many idiots to gather at Washington on that day. So, it is a lie to say CNN did not cover it. However, CNN did not make it an "event of the day" as it really was just another set of demonstration by a group of people who think anything that involves govt. is socialism. Seriously, we need more NASCAR.

finally a fair and balanced response to the fox news organization. thank you for the fox news tea party story. thank you for the presidents birth certificate story, and thank you for reporting about this out of control news channel. please continue to offer another view of the news i know i for one, along with i think many others have long known, THEY DO LIE !! thank you rick sanchez and cnn. tim .

Enough is enough for me too!!!
I have stopped watching Fox news completely because they are very bias in their news reporting. I am so glad someone has finally spokeout about their practices!!!!!
CNN reports the news as it is happening, not as they may wish it is happening. Keep it up and I love your check fact.

Sanchez,
I just watched your sarcastic video response to the FoxNews ad. Fox does not promote freedom rallies, but they do support the ideals that the rallies are about.
Just like most of you at CNN promote Obama.
Sanchez, you are correct about one thing...news is suppose to be unbiased, but in today's world most of the news media is leaning to the left, so far, that they produce the news in a very unbalanced way.
You folks are so envious of FoxNews(for being the #1 News channel in the world) they it shows every time you do a so called news program.
FoxNews is truly fair and balanced and that is why people watch them, instead of CNN or any of the other biased news networks.
Most people are well aware of the fact that most of the news networks and the people associated with those networks are in the tank for Obama and the Democrats. The way you do your news, with almost every breath, you prove the point.

Bill from Cocoa

Mr. Sanchez,

Would you like some cheese with that whine? Seriously! Did we really need to see 6:48 minutes of that rant? You are so drunk on the Obama koolaid that you cannot see your own left-wing bias. I don't care to hear your self-aggrandizing verbosity. I watch CNN, but only when the "fair and balanced" professional journalists are on, such as Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper. You, sir, are CNN's worst anchor.

OK, ENOUGH FROM THE KOOL-AID DRINKERS!
Let's see if RICK and CNN TAKE UP the VA CASE presented by DEBBIE HIBBS (above).

OH, and RICK, one comment above is really to the point: FOX is number one for a reason: They report the news – good or bad. I heard more criticism based in fact against G. W. Bush from O'Reilly and Glenn Beck (even when Beck was on HLN) than I hear criticism of Obama from the sum of all the other 'so called' news networks.
Now I read that CNN is being pressured to drop Lou Dobbs. If CNN follows through, it would a cowardly and foolish act, since Dobbs is an independent and decidedly more centrist than anything on television. If you lose your independent viewers to FOX, who's going to watch? Oh, you could share viewers with MSNBC.
.

They need to rebrand, it should be the "Fox Hate Channel" not the "Fox News Channel."

Get to doing your job Mr. JOURNALIST
Why am I telling you this? I want your view, but please, be more balanced and recognize that President Obama is OUR President, but he is not GOD. He is flawed. Don't be tempted to demonize and criticize two 20 something investigative reporters unless you are willing to send out an investigative team to tape them and prove their lack of veracity. Cheap, gutless, and sniping comments about what once was called investigative reporting undermines your credibility.

Everyone has it wrong Msnbc, Cnn, Abc, Cbs,and the rest of the entire globe only Fox News and the right wing nuts have it right....yeah right. As my mother once told me when it seems like everyone else around you is wrong its time to take a look at yourself.

Dear Mr. Sanchez; I am not sure you used the best clips to support your argument. The first clip was taken before the time the picture was taken but does prove CNN was aware that people were gathering in Washington. The second clip is little more than a traffic report while the third addresses the support of some in the crowd for a lout from the House. The forth clip you used stresses that some of those gathering represent the far right. Not one second of tape shows any of the speakers addressing the crowd, interviews with attendees or goes into the root cause of the demonstration. I'll say you covered the What, When and Where but did not cover the Who and Why. Is this any more "fair and balanced" than the right leaning FOX News ?

Guessing Fox sponsored the event, and this is just a ploy to hype the coverage- and you guys (CNN) bought it!

Rick, you are my new God. I adore you. Please have Anderson be as eloquent and succinct. CNN must not let FOX get away with this. I watched CNN on the very first day it broadcasted and every day since. There is no finer news organization anywhere.

David of NC

"Hay Rick please dont cry anymore about FOX. CNN covered the tea parties we get it. And PLEASE stop with the race this and race that. I am so sick of everything has got to be about race. Look a white man beat a black woman that may have spit on him going in a Cracker Barrel so it was said,also if anyone does not like Obama it is because he is black."

Hey David of NC;

How about quit your whining about White people getting no respect when it comes to race. Not all white people are bad. However, it seems when most of the whites in the south gets offended when the history of how african americans in past history been treated. Granted that us blacks need to take more responsibility but that again, when do, they get put into place. I looked at the person by their actions, not by color. you on the other hand, lumped us into one over a black kid beating down on the white kid. The black kid was wrong and you we're wrong for sterotyping.

So what was the "trouble that CNN ran into" while covering the protest, as reported by Bill O'Reilly???? I would have liked to hear the rest of the story and not just your edited snippet.

Rick,
I will aologize for Fox. I was surprised that Fox criticized CNN for not reporting on the Tea Party in Washington last weekend. I am one of "those racist, loons or malcontents" that the Democrats and some journalist in the main stream media report. I happened to turn on CNN and found a reporter talking about the protest and was unaware that there was a scheduled protest. But Rick, I will say that I cannot understand why the main stream media fails to report errors in the Administration facts, outlandish comments and the truth about the opposition. On Friday, 9/18, CNN gave an excellent report on the Stimulus Bill Project at the Border Crossings in Montana. Here is an example of the Administration wasting $30 million dollars and yet they say they will save billions on "waste and fraud in Medicare". Doesn't the media think that the Administration's statements are ridiculous. We who question the Administration and the Congress on these issues are watching our politicans tell the American People that they have the answer to all of our problems, and yet continue to spend our tax money irresponsibly. I could go on-and-on about Acorn, Cap & Trade, etc., but I get frustrated when it appears that only Fox is doing the real investigative journalism. I do enjoy you, Tony Harris and Lou Dobbs, because you seem to be unbiased and honest.
Once again Rick, I apologize for Fox, I will email them my disapproval.

That is just tooo funny. Have you seen Fox's ratings there Rick? They do report THE NEWS. Weren't you all dead last in the ratings? You guys are clueless to journalism and have your heads so far up this administrations butt that its a wonder you can still breath. It was very nice of you though to show Fox's ad for free for them and also to repreat the one or two small clips of the basically non-existant coverage. Fox was nonstop with their coverage. And as far as the Acorn stories, correct me if I'm wrong, but the filmmaker wanted no part of you people for fear of you bashing them as opposed to bashing a corrupt organization like Acorn. You people are just as bad as the brainless tarts on MSNBC. Give it up, you'll never be any where close to what Fox news is.

Yes Rick,
CNN say the covered the story, but they fail to tell their audience about Dick Army the leader behind frameworks. Tell us about the member of congress health care plans, and how it is government run with about 80 millions members, and we the taxpayer are paying for 75% of their plans.

Next point is when Fox said that none of the other networks works were during the story on Acorn, all of the media bowed to their demand. But did to investigate the source of the information.

If only congress past the health care bill as fast as they took the funding from Acorn, and as fast as the White House got rid of Van Johnson.

The media needs to stop getting their reporting from the internet, and get up off of the lazy a$$ and do some investigations.

Also when you speak of the tea parties and say all those Americans, the media leads people to believe that on white people are consider Americans in this nation

The msm has become weapons of mass destruction.

Rick,

Caught your show by chance in the doctor's office and was laughing out loud. You protest too much. I was embarassed for you and your network. If you report, then keep doing it. Defending your network in such a way only makes you look petty and small.

Lee Carter
Tuscaloosa, AL

you barely "covered it" and that too with epsiodes of journalism disasters like susan roesgen written all over it .. you probbly covered obama's pet selection more than you did the gathering of over 1 million people in washington.

and pleaaaase. spare the public your emotional (but empty) slogans of "our journalists are putting their lives on the line" bull. you are not journalists. take a basic journalism 101 class and you'd know why.

the people supporting your skewed version of "covered it" are very similar to those who think fox is fair and balanced. get a reality check. grow up. you and other drive by media are just as biased as fox. you just think you can fool all people all the time. shame on you.

I saw you on You Tube, otherwise rest assured I would not have caught your comments about FOX News. As far as your craft, there isn’t, and have not been any Journalists for years. You all are Purveyors of Propaganda spinning and twisting the truth. I tried to convey this to others at your place of employment, but my comments were rejected. I think this may be due to the fact that I don’t use four letter vulgar words to express myself. I tried to express my hope that you people get the Government you wish for. I lived the good American life, hope you enjoy your dictatorship. The Greeks had it right, a democracy only last for 200 years. As far as members of “YOUR CRAFT” risking their lives around the world, the only time I saw a member of “YOUR CRAFT” in Vietnam (1965-1966) was at Christmas when Bob Hope came over. Seems these days all “YOUR CRAFT” is interested in is taking pictures of dying Marines.

Hello Mr. Sanchez, I was elated by your story on Friday! You told it with passion & facts...what a powerful combination. I must admit I am a CNN junkie, you are my cable news channel. I use to watch FOX a year ago, as soon as I saw how unbalanced the election and other news stories were told I switched. You proved my point again! You slam and dunk it on Friday...thanks, for your honesty and truth, and I hope this nominates you for an emmy. The best to you and yours....by the way, I love the rest of the CNN staff....(AC, CBrown, RMartin, EHill, LKing, DLemon, WBlitzer, DBraizlle, JKing, CCrawley, DBash, DBerger)....it goes on. Keep up the great reporting...the American People are counting on you! With Much Love, Varyl

I hope thousands of people will respond to your wonderful ad which says Fox news is distorting not reporting. The lies they tell are heinous and it literally does brainwash so many people.

I have an idea. Is it possible to have a show that fact-checks and discusses Fox news AFTER it is aired? I really believe their hypocrisy needs to be addressed everyday.

After reading these posts I have to smile Rick, it's just too sad to spend time on.... I find Video, writings and records that have been out there in plain site about the President's men, Acorn, the tea parties, Congress's transgressions, plans of the left to seek and destroy our Constitution, and our rights as Americans, but to no avail will that be put on any of the lef't's media outlets. Doesn't it worry YOU PEOPLE just alittle that CNN holds news back,until, it game plans how to disqualify it, ie. Lies From Pundents (so they are not liable), Race Card, Major Editing ect..... then I challenge all of you lefties that I will liken to OJ Lovers who sit and believe anything CNN and it pundits say because you believe your corrupt congress and it's media has your best interests at heart to RESEARCH about all of this ....not just be a sheep. Obama's new communication CZAR Mark Lloyd, Check him out... read if you can, his book "Prologue To A Farce: Communications and Democracy In America" you wont find anything about him on CNN..... but look into his background... He admires Chavez! and blames the media that Chavez is not more successful....Now Chavez has shut down all but one private tv station as well as the radio stations because well even you sheep might be able to figure that out. If you can't believe what is being fed to you...hmm. As A matter of fact... no swear word or bad content is in this writing but, CNN the only station that blocks posts will probably block this because it asks you to take responsibility for yourself and research things on your own so you can get the whole truth... Right or left the truth is only at YOUR finger tips till they ban Audio, video, and media that isn't left.... If you can turn on a tv, so, can you turn on a computer and go to your library..... get your facts..... dont believe all you hear because of race!!! Funny how it has suddenly gone the other way.

I think that Fox News is obviously trying to discredit its competition and push their own agenda...but through the process managed to discredit their own network and look like a bunch of (insert inappropriate insult here).
I don't know if they expected to get away with it; I find it sad that Fox does not report the truth, or even seem to go after it, but is so obviously partisan as to pull a stunt like this. It's like "Only WE covered, so you have to watch OUR coverage of it." ...which is probably disgustingly biased.

Mr. sanchez, I was at the rally on 9-12 and you are correct in saying that CNN was there. What you failed to mention was that your network was gone by noon and did not return. Fox covered the rally from start to finish.FYI I am not a member of any angry mob. I am a libertarian who is concerned with the direction my country is taking. Mr Obama is just a symptom of a deeper problem . Great societies produce great men at appropriate times. but we produce mediocre men corrupted by power and money. This must end or the Republic will indeed collapse. I have never seen your show but I would remind you a free non-partisan press is as vital now as ever. And that your job is to report news and not make it.Please respond and thank you for taking my post.

CNN did not sufficiently cover the protests! CNN is obviously biased towards liberals and defend them at all costs! The fact CNN was late on covering acorn is proof of this fact! Acorn proved they were despicable on those videos! The fact that CNN ignored them for so long, I put CNN and acorn in the same class! Neither one is too be respected! And then CNN has the gaul to call FOX liars? Ha, what a joke! Who cares, nobody watches CNN but liberals anyway! The low ratings prove that!

Whose the BIGGEST liar?

Sanchez or FOX!

My money is on Sachez!!!

I would like to ask Sanchez what he has against America!

I would like to ask Sanchez why he hates the Jews! What have we ever done to you!!!!!!!!!

Since I wrote my last comment I did more research on the internet. Sanchez, I can't say you are lying, but you do know how to stretch the truth. CNN, ABC and CBS are brothers on the left. Just because you had a few reporters and crews at the DC rally, doesn't mean you covered and reported the rally.
You people, of the media, that are pro-Obama/Democrat, have to stop telling stories that are so easy to find out the fact they are lies.
Thank God for freedom of speech or you guys would be spending all of your time in courts. And you wonder why your ratings keep going down..down..down. The American people are waking up to your style and want honest news reporting. That why FoxNews is #1 by a wide margin.

Bill from Cocoa, Fl

Did CNN cover the Van Jones story?

The answer is NO!

Wonder why?

Could it be that CNN shares the same RADICAL views?

Probably YES!

CNN doesn't get it, and their ratings PROVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I post alot, because my posts tend to be critical of CNN(communists news network). Less than 5% of the posts critical of CNN actually gets posted! I wonder why? Who are the REAL liars here!

Sir – thank you for this. Journalism should always be about reporting the facts (and never promoting an agenda; at least, no agenda besides the desire to hold those in power accountable for their actions) and you are standing up for this. I hope that you receive a full apology from the people at Fox (along with every other news organization they claimed didn't cover this story). People like yourself are the cornerstone of a respected free press in a democratic nation. Again, thank you.

Mr. Sanchez-

As an independent, I have found it increasingly difficult to find fair and balanced news. Therefore, I watch both Fox and CNN, sort through the biases, and then decide for myself after I have the facts. However, I find your frustration to be misguided. The Fox News ad said that you "missed the story." Not that you didn't cover it. From what I saw, CNN was more worried about trying to discredit the demonstration by talking about Joe Wilson or a small minority of people in the demonstration who were carrying signs referencing Hitler. Those stories aren't what people care about. The protest was much bigger than that. It was about speaking out against government corruption. It was about speaking out against a government which seems no longer accountable to the American people. It was about speaking out against runaway government spending and the loss of individual liberty in this country. It was about speaking out against the dishonesty and manipulation and special interests in Washington on both sides of the aisle that rule the day instead of the interests of the people. While I agree that Fox has an agenda to point out every Obama misstep, I also agree that CNN has its own liberal agenda and tends to focus on little things that no one really cares about to poke holes/discredit legitimate concerns about Obama's administration......"missing" the greater story. Perhaps if the folks at CNN would spend less time on this little things that no one cares about and could see the bigger picture a little better and clearer, CNN wouldn't be getting crushed 3 to 1 by Fox News in the cable tv ratings day-in and day-out. And this, from someone who is currently living abroad temporarily and eagerly following every step of whats going on in Washington via the internet who didn't miss the story. Perhaps next time it would be better to not go on the defensive so quickly before really understanding the rationale behind the ad because your biases blind you, alienates the majority of Americans who are in the middle, and only welcomes the small fringe that CNN seems to be currenlty attracting. I look forward to watching from a far as you and your colleagues at CNN continue to try to improve this aspect of your coverage and thus making yourself a more valuable and more watched news organization than the one you currenlty are today. Best of Luck!

Rick, bless you for pointing out the situation with Fox News. It seems there is a current to discredit the President as well as all main stream media companies so the only legitimate one is Fox News. Thank you for saying what you did and know that it is not lost on some segment of the American people. Thank you.

You go, Rick!

Fox, 'fair and balanced' are you kidding me? After showing tea baggers at tax protests and fox fan's with guns at Obama rallies, where is the context for Fox's constant blotter refrain of 'fair and balanced'? No way would Bush Sr. nor Bush Jr. permit any nut job carrying a rifle or having a handgun holstered to their leg within 5 miles of their rallies, and Fox certainly knows that fact. Instead Fox's Glenn Beck (big bag of jackass) and BillO pump out pseudo facts like nearly 1 million tea baggers attended the rally, while the facts indicate far fewer people actually attended the tax protest rally. Those two act like they live in Ivory Towers that parse out 'entertainment' instead of factual news.

Thank you Rick Sanchez for daring the Fox News network to actually engage in factual News Reports, rather than synthesizing pseudo news in hopes of generating better viewer ratings.

hey Mr. Ricke
I like it. Fox need to know something. a friend of mine he watch all the time Fox news he come and telling me all kind of crab bout i watch CNN. I told him everything back and he is piss on me. Also he don’t agree on health care but he is waiting to get health care from gov. his job don’t cover to his family. What a funny. We cannot stop fox new I don’t know what to do to stop this crab even gov cannot stop that crab fox new. So leave them alone. They are way underdog so let them bark. By the way at twitter I am your follower too. Rick we are still smile.

Rick, your rant made you look like a tool. Your coverage was lopsided and inadequate, and your ratings are following suit.

Me thinks your protest rings hollow. CNN has never been fair nor balanced, and never will be. Fox has it's faults for sure but at least makes an effort.

Dear Mr. Sanchez:
I don't care about Fox. You are the one I let into my home every afternoon. I believe in CNN. I BELIEVE CNN. What you all do and report is what I count on. So when you take the time to call Fox a liar.... it gives me a Joe Wilson complex. I realize you were offended. I realize you needed to address the issue. But to be so "pithy"? Oh my gosh! I thought O'Reilly had taken over your show.

Gag.

Sorry. I just think Fox loves to push buttons, and they got the result they wanted.

A good reason not to watch Fox.

Way to go Rick. I sat there watching you smack FOX on the nose like a puppy who pissed on the carpet. I've tried to watch Fox News just to get a different perspective from time to time and I simply can't stomach it for more than just a few moments. Those bags of Summer's Eve need to stick to what they are good at. just keep pumping in that NFL coverage on Sunday mornings and leave reporting the news to the real journalists over at CNN and ABC.

Ones again you white people got it wrong! Dr. Phil (who I like) got it so wrong in NOT pointing out that Congressman Wilson is disrespectful to the President and to America! Larry King should be shame in not also pointing out the same! Out right down right stinking white racist media control. To compare Serena Willaim and Kanye West (TWO BLACK PEOPLE) to Congressman Wilson is outragous! Border or pure evil! Congressman Wilson is a elected official voted into office by the people. To suggest that a entertainer or someone athletic compares to a Congressman is stupid! I saw and the public see how fast you label Serena Willaim behavoir as un-sportman. Serena maybe had two outburst! ( Serena was find $1,000) John McEnroe allway curse shouted and did everything under the sun as a routine. Rarely if ever his behavoir label un-sportman! Kanye West is a fool that should be band for life! What he did was disrespectful! It's funny how Fox News found two black people to compare Congressman Wilson horrible behavoir! His behavoir disrespect the President the officer of the President Congress and every American military that died for this country that gave him the right to live in this country. Congressman Wilson disrespected every American citizen and American Promise. Fox News many label you racist this confrim IT!

Rick Sanchez needs to open his eyes about what the main stream public wants and its not his kind of news which is liberal and never reports what is really going on in the world.
The other networks did report the 9-12 project but the negative part of it. And you wonder why we now go to fox.
Wake up main stream media. Report ALL the news.....(Van Jones, Acorn, problems at the white house). We are not stupid.

Rick...you're the man! Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's about time someone took on the lies from this hate and so-called "news network." They make their own news and don't care about the facts. I just hope more reporters have the courage to call them out too. They are hurting America, not helping. You performed a great public service with your commentary. Keep it up!

Hey Rick:

You're onto something calling out Fox like you have. Somebody has to stand up to their nonsense. If I can make a suggestion. Instead of just arguing that they got their facts wrong, argue about their stupid ideas and why they're stupid.

For example, Fox argues that Obama's new missile defense plan makes the U.S. weak. Maybe it's time to remind people what peace through cooperation looks like. Cooperation is not weakness; it is strength, but that message isn't getting circulated.

Great work Rick. Keep it up.

Paul Nelson

yes – CNN – you most certainly covered the tea party – not the LIE THAT PERPETUATED IT – OT THE FACT THAT FAUX NEWS INITIATED IT. Between 2004-2008, there were thousands of anti war protests, one even had a head count of over 20 thousand. No coverage. You have well documented the theory, and even have an anchor who proclaims – that Obama is not American. 40% of all Democrats have compelling information that deserved to be answered about 9/11, not one news media – including yours, even blinked. Stop being such a suck up – are you afraid Limbaugh will get you?? Send them to me, I will assure them, you are definitely covering the news just as selective as ever.

Your comment is awaiting moderation. ????

Fox News has become the loud drunk at the party. Time has revealed to most what they are for real. I must admit I do watch Fox allot because its so outlandish. It has the same draw on people as pro wrestling does, but does Fox understand that a good portion of viewers probably watch them for this reason. I for one get my news entertainment from Fox News, and then I get my hard fact news from CNN, but recently have been watch less of Fox News because its been all about :hate ACORN :kill the public option :hate Obama and the Democratic Party :hate MSNBC :hate any progressives that express their opinion in the media. I mean it gets old and tiresome after awhile even in the flamboyant news style they do their shtick in.

The only thing to do at this point is for the enlightened public to attempt to moderate them. People with knowledge should communicate through every electronic avenue possible to Fox News and staff in constructive nice ways that they are becoming the news network of the loud drunk at the dinner party.

I say this because at any dinner party there always seems to be that one load drunk. You can't tell the drunk anything, but you can be nice to the drunk, and suggest eating something. A drunk always wants to fight. Fox News always wants to fight. However we can all be the somber ones suggesting very, very tactfully to Fox News to call it a night, and call them a cab.

Dear CNN.com moderators,

The problem Fox and a lot of people have, is that CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS don't seem to cover the stories that are not "Positive" for the President, and if they do its a maximum of 3 minutes and its cycled for 3 to 5 segments and then is old news .

The thing with ACORN was not covered until it came to Critical Mass then CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS could not ignore it.

My comment is, cover ALL the news, don't cherry pick it. Investigate,
don't be a talking head. Don't pre-digest the story, and let the PEOPLE make up their minds, don't you attempt to make their minds up for them.

Remember: Who, What, When, Why, and How. Then let the people decide and from their own opinions.

Thanks for calling out Fox on their promotion of the 9/12 movement and their lies about CNN's lack of coverage.

The sad thing is that I think that your reaction was exactly what they wanted, or was the intention of their ad. They love calling themselves 'fair and balance' and make every effort to label CNN, NBC, etc... as biased.

Either way, don't stop calling them out when they lie (it may prove to be a full time job).

Rick,
Why won't you post my comments? Are you afraid to have the viewers seeing how others feel that watch your show? You speak of your craft, yet your reporting is biased towards the democrats and the president.
You lie! CNN covered The Tea Party Rally by making light of those marching. ACORN was covered many days after the story broke; the only person on CNN that tried to cover it in a timely manner was Lou Dobbs. Why is that? You don't like the truth and I know this comment will never make it to your blog even though it is an opinion of one viewer that has not written anything derogatory. Let’s wee what you and CNN are really made of. Can you post the opinion of someone that doesn’t see it the same as you?

Don't be a coward and stand for something that makes you legitimate in your "craft" by posting my comments.

Don't insult the intelligence of American people by trying to spin the situation after the fact. I watched both of the stories unfold and the coverage by the other networks, including CNN was pathetic!

This comment should be posted since it is a valid opinion of one of your viewers.

Rick the problem with Networks like Fox is that by mentioning them you give them credibility. Do not respond to Fox. Do not mention them. Like any nightmare when you turn your back on it you take away its power. I do not watch Fox News anymore because I do not want to be counted in their Nelson ratings. I believe that an individual should have more than one point of view. I will never purchase a book written by O'Reilly or Hannity. I will not give them the satisfaction of my hard earned dollar. I will however read their books in the Library. CNN is a fair and balanced network and should rise about the name calling.

Anyone who agrees with me should not watch Fox, CNN should not quote FOX. Simply put that you only discuss news from legitimate news networks.

Rick... Rick... Rick... you really must change your motto. You're right though, It's not a speech - IT'S0 A DIATRIBE! You feign journalistic equilibrium, however, you woefully lack the ability or desire to provide balance.

Yes, you are correct, CNN did cover the 1,000,000 plus Americans protesting the Obama presidency. I know, because I watched it on CNN. You state the CNN chose to cover the Tea Party in the capital rather than promote the Tea Party in the capital. Well, that's kind of true. CNN and you routinely choose how you will cover (truthiness?!) the news by downplaying virtually any noteworthy news event that illustrates that there are as many conservative (not just Republicans) Americans who oppose the Obama presidency as support the Obama presidency.

CNN and you choose to focus on the fringe elements that participate in the Tea Parties, choose to tape men and women with signs about AK47's, or men who attend events "lawfully" shouldering a semi-automatic weapon. I'm conservative and I don't own an AK47, any semi-automatic rifle, or any rifle or gun for that matter. However, I respect the right for every lawful citizen to own a rifle or gun. I'm not racist or prejudice, and Obama's ethnicity has nothing to do with why I appose him. I oppose Obama because of his worldview and his socialist-leanings.

CNN and you choose to polarize American's by depicting all conservatives as gun-toting racists. The very thing CNN and you vehemently accuse Fox News of doing, promoting a political agenda, CNN willfully and wholeheartedly does, promote the liberal political agenda. When I watch CNN and MSNBC, it is like watching the Obamathon.

Be honest Rick, both CNN and you, have a political agenda, and neither CNN or you can conceivably be fair and balanced, because if you were you would not seek the outlandish to stereotype conservatives and marginalize half of the American population.

By the way, whining about Fox News really makes CNN and you look like - well, like whiners.

Rick Sanches: With such a spanish name: Ricardo Sanchez due to your line of work you try to tell us that you cover all that is happening against the controlling so-called President Obama?
It sounds to me you are very rude, and you want to show that you are annoyed at Fox News. Why? When did you start presenting the information from the Tea Party meetings? The people in attendance have been called un-american. Why? Where is democracy? Where is the right to make any comments at any point that has always been called "freedom of speech"? So far we are not yet living in Cuba or Venezuela, discounting Bolivia, Nicaragua and the intentions of this President to have a communist in power in Honduras. When did you hear about Cuba's abominable dictator that took over a country with lies to the people and remains there to this day Do you know what it is to liver under the boot of a dictator for 50+ years? Have you experiences the death of relatives in "paredon" or in the straights of Fla. looking for freedom? I am afraid you haven't. At the end I want to say to you Ricardo Sanchez: I feel sorry for you, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, UNIVISION, ABC and any of the TV stations sold entirely before elections and after the fact to someone that we still do not know for sure where he was born and if he is a "real American" not a half. Do you feel safe in the U.S. now? Well, many Americans don't.

Rick Sanchez do you only allow comments after reviewing them
that agree with you. My comment has not appeared in your blog.

Why? Because I defend Democracy, the Constitution, Liberty and Freedom, Tea Party participants, NO TO BIG GOVERNMENT, NO TO GIVING AWAY TO CORPORATIONS THE TRILLIONS SO THAT THE GOVERMENT CAN GET ITS SHARE OF THESE CORPORATIONS.
(tHIS LAST ONE IS CALLED in a regular SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT, before called Communist INTERVENTION BY THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT.

Are my posts going to appear in your blog?

Rick, CNN watchers already know the tea party was covered and the FOX watchers don't care if CNN covered the tea party, so you didn't set anyone straight.

I have looked here for news on multiple occasions regarding topics that are not favorable to your liberal left-wing interests, and you consistently refuse to cover them. With the ACORN tapes, you waited until even Jon Stewart complained about you not covering the story before you had even a tiny blurb on your website. Never heard of this Rick Snachez guy before, but he is obviously a joke – maybe someday he can grow up and be taken seriously...

Sanchez just doesn't get it! Glenn Beck refers to the big picture on his Friday show! Well the big picture clearly shows that CNN are clearly biased in their coverage and thus Communists! On top of all that Sanchez and company are obviosly jealous of FOX's higher ratings. The big picture also shows that CNN is a despicable network and are very much deserving of their nonexistent ratings!
GOOD ALWAYS PREVAILS OVER EVIL! CNN IS EVIL!

Rick: Where was the Gop for eight years while we were slipping down the rabbit whole. Now they cry and complain. I am so angry with them I could spit. Health care reform is needed now. Let's get out of Iraq and handle our business in Afganistan now. Gop is making a lot of people very angry with all their nonsense. Our Senate and Congress should do what they were elected to do . Forget about the Gop they forgot about us for eight years. Obama do the damn thing!!

Rick,
The fact you feel the need to mention Fox demonstrates CNN's weakness. Who are you talking to anyway fox viewers sure are not watching you.
Bottom line for all the whinning you do and MSNBC, and all the others sadley FOX gets the numbers. In fact they stomp you. WHY?
Beacuse the news today is of such low quality, untrustwothy, and BIASED (grossly).
To be informed in todays world requires work. We cannot trust any of you.

Fox news is always distorting the truth. Sometimes I turn the channel to listen and see what they are distorting at that moment. It is always something. I don't understand how they get away with it. Can't something be done. It is like they are trying to brainwash their viewers.

I think you should compare two stories CNN has headlined today. One is that kids can't name first president. I think you are in that video. I have difficulty with videos on this computer.

The other is that a kid scored 1,019,000 on a game. I would have to leave this webpage to find the name of the game.

The second headline is directly beneath the first headline.

I would have a panel of a child developmentalist, an educator and an orthopedist to talk about the negative effects of too much game playing and TV watching. By TV I mean setting toddlers in front of the TV to watch videos.

My comment gets stuck pending moderation for a day or more because I thought Rick's outburst was lame?? Figures.

Finally! Someone that is willing to call Fox News for what they are, (Liars!). I just wish CNN would get rid of Lou Dobbs and give you the seven o'clock slot.

Well This will probablywon't make it but here goes. Fox news says they give the conservity news,not the truth news. Did you really exspect Glen Beck, Hannity, Rush and the News cast hive the real news. Why is it Okay for the conservity (GOP) people tells lies and either call it conservity news or politics?

Do not mention FOX as a legitimate news network. I do not watch them. I do not read them. I do not visit their websites or the websites of their commentators. I respect Conservative values but I cannot respect the tactics of the Republican Party. FOX will play to their base. Their is a market for FOX's commentary which will never change. Its up to free thinking people not to give them any more people to count in their Nelson ratings.

I am Canadian and would like to tell you all from my side of the fence the only one reporting fair and balanced news on CNN is Lou Dobbs ... Yeah you 'covered' the march but you cherry picked who you spoke to and the guy covering the tea party express was so biased about what regualr Americans are trying to do he was a joke.

I used to think CNN was a fair news source – but not anymore. If you want the truth America start looking outside of your country to find out what is really going on – it is not good.

You do have a socialist in the White House and I would say It was Obama but from here it does not look like he is in charge of anything. He is just a puppet dancing to the tune of many people – and not the people who put him in office.

CNN is a joke for news now as are the rest of what used to be your mainstream media. Like I heard some guy say – your media is so in bed with this Administration they otta' get a room together ....

Oh and one other thing .... I kept hearing on CNN how much the 'world' loves Obama .... he is a joke .... the world is laughing at America for putting someone with a beginners license inside the White House .... If Russia marches into Georgia because of what el dumbo has done with the missile defence system you had better believe America is going to be involved in another war .... only this is one war you can all fight for yourselves because of his stupid decision making ....

Rick,
I saw a thing on Fox about California farmers upset because environmentalists have turned off pumps that supply water to farms in order that they might save fish instead. The farms have dried up and the farmers are going out of business. Please check into this issue. I would think it would be an easy opportunity for government to respond to the needs of these people who happen to be anti-government on various other issues.

If you think your Fox story was professional or balanced reporting, think again. CNN covered the story, but how balanced and accurate was the coverage? And is such ranting on a major network appropriate? You do a disservice to your great colleagues like John King and Gerri Willis. Lets have news, not ranting and raving.

Hey Rick, you seem a little touchy there, bud. Could it be because Fox is KICKING YOUR A** in the ratings???

Just wondering.

Hi Rick,
Did you receive Ed's "snail mail" letter sent last week about FOX news? If not, please let us know what address to send it to. We could not find an e-mail address for you to send it that way.

Keep up the good work!

This speaks to legitamy of any Fox News programing. It is not a channel to be viewed for any truthful information. If you want right wing crap, go ahead and watch.

Dear Rick

I've just finished reading all these opinions and I am really worried that there are so many unpleasant people out there who write such drivel to you...What is this country coming to...so much bitterness and hate within people today and not afraid to express it however rudely.

It was so much better in the 50's,60's,70's even 80's before the mass communication of instant news and opinion and internet...I prefer the ways of Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite,Harry Reasoner, John Daly and Robert Trout and Barbara Walters..they READ the news TO us without shouting and giving rude remarks and no one knew or cared about what Joe or Sue Blogs thought from Tim Buck Two...one discussed these subjects at the dinner table amongst family and friends not nasty strangers...television could be used for teaching manners, courtesy, respect, peace and love to all of us..remeber when they used to play the Roll of Honor each evening on channel 5 WNEW in NYC during the Viet Nam War? How about using some time on the TV programming for that instead of stating statistics each day...there must be a better way for the media to do it's job of delivering the news and for involving public opinion other than printing the rubbish mad people write polluting the airwaves and soundwaves of decent civilization...thanks for trying Rick!

Ok, so I’ve heard enough. America was created based on particular principles that would allow every citizen equal rights and protection under the law but unlike a homogeneous society it’s diversity makes it difficult for the society to actually accomplish an equal rights ideal (The American Promise).

In order to create a more perfect union the ideal and promise of equal opportunity must be met, and there should be no citizen, whether Black/white, that are hindered by their race to pursue upward mobility.

Unfortunately, we have those in our society who fear diversity and considers it criminal instead of a benefit, and who, because of selfish motives, would do whatever it takes to hold unto the ways of the past and what they perceive as Anglo Saxon Power.

It does not matter that their attempts to maintain supremacy runs contrary to the ideals of the constitution, and leaves me to believe that racist folks do not fight for the constitution but against the very idea/notion that drove the colonists to declare their own freedom from what they considered a tyrannous ruler.

I believe that the challenge posed to this great nation is one that requires great introspection and a total change in the mindset that color/race is most significant.

America does not have one race and is a multi-cultured society-as intended by the founders. If it was only intended that White folks benefit from America then they would have declared in the constitution that “…All men are not created equal and only WHITE people are endowed…”

Moreover, it is a shame when you see a Black man (Steele) come out and publicly defend the racist actions of his party against people of his own race. I wonder where his mind is at and if he doesn’t think that one day in the future his own BLACK children/grandchildren may become the victims of the same racism he denies exist?

Thank GOD for people like Harriet Tubman, Fredrick Douglas, Thurgood Marshall, Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, Medgar Wiley Evers, and so many more Black folks who fought and died so that STEELE and the rest of us can Vote and have a seat at the table. Leave it up to Steele and Steele himself would not have a seat at the table, and, instead, would probably be satisfied with serving dinner to the folks around the table. Well, I say Thank GOD Harriet Tubman, MLK, Thurgood, etc., were not STEELES. Can you imagine if they were like Steele? Steele himself would not even have a voice right now.

I am not sure if the ancestors would be proud of Steele because what profit is it for a man to lose himself/soul by not standing up for what is righteous all for the sake of material gains? Does Steele think his children/grandchildren will be singled out in the future as the untouchable Blacks?

Finally, Steele, the policy you make today is the policy your children will have to live by tomorrow so please, if not for the sake of other blacks do it for the sake of your own kin, make GOOD POLICIES regarding race and racism. If you accept it for Obama then you no doubt accept it for your own children.

TO ALL THE DEMONS AT THE RECENT "PEE PARTY PROTEST"

A DIVINE MESSAGE:

Matthew 5:17-20

The Law and the Prophets
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THAT WITH YOU, AND NOW THE REST IS UP TO YOU..

Good job, Rick. And you are correct. Fox news did promote the protests, not covered it. This youtube video shows a Fox News Producer (Heidi Noonan) actually encouraging the protesters during a live video shot:

I’m sure you have seen this by now but if not here you go... Just to prove your point from last week that fox promotes (makes up) and does not cover the news "Fox News Producer Caught Rallying 9/12 Protest Crowd In Behind-The-Scenes Video" ((edited))

It was CNN that tried 2 show the Tea Party goers as racist, out of 70,000 – 100,000 people how many crazies was there... 1000... not even. But the anti-war crazies like CODE PINK & MOVE ON.com where show as jus' Americans that have the right 2 call the Pres. at the time Hitler, a war criminal & so on. There were hundreds of arrests at the Anti-war rallies but none at the Tea Party march on Wash. So did CNN cover the story or try 2 cover it up.

The problem Fox and a lot of people have, is that CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS don’t seem to cover the stories that are not “Positive” for the President, and if they do its a maximum of 3 minutes and its cycled for 3 to 5 segments and then is old news .

The thing with ACORN was not covered until it came to Critical Mass then CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS could not ignore it.

My comment is, cover ALL the news, don’t cherry pick it. Investigate,
don’t be a talking head. Don’t pre-digest the story, and let the PEOPLE make up their minds, don’t you attempt to make their minds up for them.

The BBC has it right. The facts and only the facts. Who, What, When, Why, and How. Then let the people decide and form their own opinions.

It was CNN that 'bout 2 yrs ago, showed video of the Islamic Radicals firing on our troops from the Radicals point of view. It seems that everyone forgot that & that the Democrats was against civil rights movement. Do your research...

With respect to the ACORN. It WAS brought to ABC, NBC, and CBS and they rejected the story.

You have 168 hours of air-time to fill a week.

Stop cherry pinking. Report the good, the bad, the stories that make Obama look good. Maybe you don't remember. Short memories. The
networks used to pound Bush for this he did wrong in their view.

Fox does report the good and the bad about Obama. Obama's
problem is that he is a political idiot. And he has an insurance policy
named Joe Biden, and he, Joe Biden, has a bigger insurance policy named
Nancy Pelosi

MR SANCHEZ ON 9/21/09 ON THE MSBC MORNING JOE SHOW THEY SHOWED A TAPE OF ONE OF THOSE RALLYS AGAINST THE OBAMA HEALTH CARE PLAN IN WHIC H A WOMAN PRODUICER FROM THE FOX STATION WAS WAVING HER ARMS TO THE PEOPLE TO GET THEM UP IN ARMS ABOUT THE PLAN WHEN SHE REALIZED THE T V WAS ON HER SSHE DUCKED IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL FAIR AND BALANCED THEY ARE A BUNCH OF HIPRCRITES IF I WHERE YOU I WOULD GET A COPY OF THE THIS TAPE AND SHOW THE PUBLIC HOW UNBALANCED THEY ARE GEO AND ALICE

I want change, and I can see meetings and protests are not working. Therefore, I will not vote for anyone in the democrat or republican party. Perhaps then there will be change, because these leaders will be free to vote without the "party" telling them how.

You made us proud Rick!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Nice job Rick! Keep the faith!

Rick (Ricardo Sanchez) born in Guanabacoa, Cuba, and brought to the U.S. at a very young age, to become a leftist, socialist, previously called communist.

Stop your stu...pid complaint about Fox News, and check the statistics, they have become #1. Americans want to hear good reporting, the truth, and have a comparison with the bad like yours. You must feel you made it in life because you work for CNN where both owners wife and husband are the worse of the crop. Who can forget Hanoi Jane on top of a tank against the American troops? The millions of her radical leftist/socialist husband will never buy the souls of Americans that love freedom and liberty, democracy. You should be a good reporter in Cuba. Granma has some job offers? Any interest?

We will continue comparing but so far yours is on the #10 in my list fighting with MSNBC, ABC, CBS, UNIVISION and Juanes, the dward that went to sing in Cuba for the communists, and never brought food for the real Cubans that need "jama" food as Panfilo said for which he was sent two years in jail. Now they sent him to a mentally insane hospital and with electro-shocks he will come out of there after his treatment with a new mind. He'll see food in anything even though it will only be in his "worked brain".

Are definitely a good Cuban? God keep us away of Cubans like you.

Rick.

WHY IS NO ONE REPORTING ON THIS STORY?

In July,2005, the new IRAQI Constitution was ratified by the Iraqi people. That constitution was drafted with the assistance of the Bush (Republican) administration.

Article 31 of that Constitution provides for UNIVERSAL GOVERNMENT FUNDED HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AS A RIGHT!!!

This Constitution and the history of its drafting is available on line by a simple Google.

Why, then would the Republicans deny, so adamantly, that benefit to Americans?

Can it be that it is because there are no campaign contributions to be had from IRAQI insurance providers?

Just askin...

BTW.... Our Canadian Health Care System treats me, and mine... wonderfully. Thanks for asking.

Rick,
Like many Americans, I recently lost my job due to the economic situation we're in today. With some extra time on my hands I've started watching your program, and I have to tell you, I've become a BIG fan of ur show! In my opinion, your the most "fair and balanced" reporter in the news today! Now, Speaking about "fair and balanced" reporting, I have to tell you, I love that you went after fox news! It's about time the other media outlets start calling out fox on their "Distortion" of the news. I have been waiting, like many other Americans, to see when that time would come. THANK YOU! In the process of reading the many articles written about you going after fox, I came accross an interesting Court Case involving Fox. I would love to see you talk about this on your show! IT's a case, down in Florida, in which A man and woman sued fox over reporting the truth in a story involving BGH(bovine growth hormone.) They submitted a 4 part story on BGH, and any health problems linked to it. After they submitted their story, FOX NEWS told them they had to change their story and put quotes in from figures they knew were lieing. Here is the link to the site where I found the Court case. This will go into detail about the case, and the facts surronding it.

I think that we are in a troubling time, when it comes to our News. The viewers of News, regardless of the media org. it comes from, should not have to worry about if what they're hearing is the truth, or a lie! We have never had such a lack of trust, in my lifetime, when it comes to our news and the people and org.'s reporting it. Alot of this "talk" of not trusting the news, you hear and read, is coming from FOX NEWS. The one News channel that disregaurds the facts more than anyone else! I feel that FOX NEWS is guilty of FALSE ADVERTISEMENT when they throw the line "FAIR AND BALANCED" followed by "WE REPORT, YOU DECIDE." I would have no problem with FOX NEWS if the simply stated that they are the GOP NEWS ORGANIZATION. That way, atleast the viewers of their news would know that what they are hearing is a slanted news report, because unfortunatly there are people that believe what they are hearing is the truth. SO, Rick, please think about reporting this story! I think people would be very interested to hear that FOX NEWS has the right to lie, and the fought for this right! Even one news org. that distorts the facts is truely a dangerous thing! That, to me, is a danger to our democracy!

Been reading your blog, today. I can only say one thing to all you Obama/Democrat and CNN junkies. You all talk about how FoxNews distorts the truth.
Please allow me to quote Jake Nicholson from "A Few Good Men".
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH...You all wouldn't know the truth if it bit you on the a... . I follow the TV ratings and FoxNews Channel is #1 in the World. Every program, from F & F to Greta and all the programs between have more viewers than CNN programs at the same time. Head to Head its FoxNews #1 by a wide margin.
The well informed people that watch FoxNews really don't care what you say or do. If you are not afraid to really learn how bad the Democrats and some Republicans, along with Obama are, then tune in and start watching FoxNews on a regular basis. You will truly learn the difference, very quickly.

Bill from Cocoa

The people at the tea party understand that America is great because it is the land of opportunity, undortunately we are fast changing this to the land of entitlements! That change is slowly bankrupting this country. People at the tea party understand the way to help people is to give people a hand up not handouts (Ronald Reagan.) By the time Obama, Ried and Pelosi finish building their American dream it will all be mortgaged to China. Who is going to pay of $262,000 of debt for the average family of four when the debt reaches or exceeds 20 trillion in the next ten years (which is before the 3 trillion health care plan is counted.) That why the Tea Party protest happened and it is why the topic is being ignored by CNN and Rick Sanchez! They would rather call us all racist and ignore real issues.

Fox news has lost it. They started out as a news agency and have become the spokeman for the EXTREME right. They are not even a news agency anymore, they are spokes people who on occasion report some news.

Hi Rick, There is now video showing a Fox "News"Producer Rallying the Crowd at the 9/12 Event.

the guy accused of lying to the FBI, he was a transit worker. How difficult would it be to go to work, in the transit worker uniform with a transit worker pass, and then set a bomb.

We need to be more vigilant.

Rick great job going after fox news. hope to see more

omg its the war of the cable new airwaves, cnn slighty right, fox over the hill left, and msnbc over the waterfall right, no wonder no one trusts the news on any tv anymore, you have to watch all of them to figure out what is going on, and then come up with your own take on everything you just heard, no wonder we all suffer from overload of the news, oh ya and by the way the new is just like the politicians, no one can tell the true story without a spin anymore, and not one person can answer a question with a yes or a no, you all need to STOP blamming each other and just tell the truth no spin, iam sick of all cable and tv news

I've wached Fox News , I have family members who currently watches Fox News as well, I feel their anchors wants to influence my belief's something like Lou Dobbs on CNN . How about this, We move Lou to the FOX NEWS CHANNEL> !!!!

concerning the suspects arrested in the terror plot, my concern is how many other people are out there willing to do harm to Americans and how in the world do they enter our country and what is our government doing to stop these people from entering the country.

Okay cnn why so touchy? fox did not say that you did not report on it. You have been so late with stories in the past. one has to wonder if you only got on board after Obama through you under the bus after the story you did on 9/11 about the Coast Guard and shots being fired. Wise up. Where is the tough reporting? Why does an25 year old get a big scoop?You are in bed with this white house ,which is why if you do not start being reporters you will be on the wrong side of history with only crickets listening to you.

Rick, thank you for calling FOX out on their lies. People should know that FOX news has been one of the key players backing this whole absurd "Tea Party" movement. It's no big surprise that their producers are telling the crowd when to cheer. I have no doubt that the caring souls at FOX are helping to produce the whacked out signs the Tea party people carry on their anti-Obama journey. The people should know that the GOP, the Christian Right, FOX News and most importantly—the INSURANCE COMPANIES, desperately want Obama to fail. Rush said so himself. Please keep exposing these lies and telling the people like it is.

When is the FCC goingto reign these guys in? Their should be a law t where these idiots cannot disquise themselves as news. They should have to announce that they are entertainment. They are no different than tje Jerry Springer Show. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are more legitimate and credible sources than Glen Beck and Faux News. A news orginization should report the news not promote it as you said. They should not give opinions or speculate. They should report facts and let viewrs decide for themselves based on those facts without any inflence from those reporting it. Glen Beck is promoting himself. He figured out there was a market where people hate and want to dispute the facts even when it comes to science like global warming and he perpetuates and then markets himself and his books to these morons to the tune of $27 mil last year. Beck and Faux news is a sad right wing attempt to slander and tear down any view or orginization that disagrees with them and they should not be allowed to pass it off as news. Thanks for exposing it Rick.

Hey Rick, in the spirit of being truthful, let's stop calling FOX a NEWS station. They are a RIGHT WING OPINION station, at best.

talma

Rick,

How does it feel to work for such a low life, loser news program.

Lou Dobbs is the only worthy person at CNN, the rest of you are punks.

One question loser,

GOT RATINGS.

Hey, Rick i like your show, micheal steele is a uncle tom saleout for the Republican party!!!

Hey Rick cnn should give you a raise. its about time cnn anchors go after the gerry springer show (foxs news)

Would you kindly keep your personal bias and prejudice about Cuba out of your reporting? Your behavior is extremely unprofessional.

Get em rick. Fox news disgusts me every time they say the are fair and balanced. Anyone can tell they are THE REPUBLICAN CHANNEL!!! I like CNN. I think CNN reports on news the way they are supposed to. Not PROMOTING it!!! GO RICK!!!

Glad to see someone else is as disgusted with FAUX News as I am. Keep up the good work, Rick!

Seriously Rick,

Who in their right mind doesn't think that Faux News Channel isn't editorial masquerading as fact?

Fox Noise. We Distort. We Decide.

-D.

Why don't all the liberals on here give it up and stop talking about Fox! Who cares if they have a producer at the rally! I don't know and could care less. CNN host the Obama rally live every day! Every anchor on CNN (except Lou Dobbs is actually a fairly objective journalist) should be labeled as a paid add for the DNC and Obama. The issue is simple ... will CNN ever be capable of actually reporting news or just giving us only a slanted un-informed political hack job called news. Their ability to do that has nothing to do with Fox. They whine about Fox because they can't understand why no one but left wing liberals will watch their unpaid political advertising.

The cnn jealousy of Fox news is so evident. No matter how hard you try you will never reach the level of reporting that Fox aspires to. You see, CNN and MSNBC along with the mainstream media, are just too in the tank with the Obama administration. With the exception of Lou Dobbs, there is absolutely no credabile reporting from any of you so called News organizations. One has to merely check out the poll numbers to see the "proof positive" of this fact.
Do you really think it is wise to go head to head with Fox news....really??????

You may have covered Acorn but very little. CNN is very political bias and seems to only show stories over and over again that show Democrats and Obama in a positive light. Fox news may appear to have an agenda but CNN does too. Rick Sanchez was the first reporter on CNN who actually said that ACORN was horrible and did not say it was just a smear campaign. CNN is losing viewers and the only reason you are attaching fox news is because they are getting your viewer ship because they cater more to the Independents and conservatives.

Hi Rick, On the Fox News Producer story,Many Times at the town-hall meetings I saw well-dressed people on the side, trying to stay out of camera view, encouraging people to stand up and disrupt!

Hey Rick! Thanks for this... its not often that FOX gets their own medicine. Notice how irrate the conservatives got? Its funny to see them get all flustered, stammering... "you showed bare minimum". But the most important questions is: do these protesters even know what they are really protesting? Or are they just mad because someone actually wants to fix a broken system and they like getting screwed? Just an idea. You know, I've worked for 21 years (started at 15). I only stopped "working" for a paycheck since my 6 year old was born. I still prepare tax returns from my home to supplement my husband's educator pay. We are a family of 4 (we also have a 3 yr old). How come I get to pay for everyone's medicaid/medicare, social security and other benefits, but when I need them, no one wants to do it for me? My husband's insurance for us as a family is about $500. We can't feed our children with that expense. So, my children and I are uninsured. They don't even qualify for CHIP thanks to Bush and McCain (I checked their voting!). So, if I die because of lack of health care, does the government THEN decide to raise my children as their own? I mean, I DID stay home to raise healthy little soldiers...the least the government can do is make sure I'm well enough to do it. No, I have to get my medicines from Mexico–because in Mexico, they actually CURE your illness, not keep you sick like here. I am PRO REFORM!!!

Since when do mental patients get morale boosters such as field trips? HELLO??? Thats why there in jail in the first place, to be punished for the crime they committed. Pretty soon criminals are going to want to go to jail so they can go to the fair too!! LOL

Talk about fair and balanced on Fox, anybody notice the coffee mugs on the Sunday morning Chris Wallace. The handles were turned as if the guests were left handed so you could read "fair and balanced" inside the rim of the cup.

I have not been a fan of Fox news since there over religious tone of 9/11, but if you keep hypeing and cutting to ad on your coverage of this article I will have to step away from your show also.

-sick of the hype on all the channels

You mean CNN is so fair and balanced that your "reporter" Susan Roesgen verbally attacked and harrassed a Tea Party Protestor (as he held his child mind you) for voicing his concerns over some of Obama's policies and she wouldn't let him finish his statements without her attacking and defending Obama – You call that reporting or making the story? Now with that said compared to MSNBC and NBC, CNN is fair and balanced but that is all relative.

C'mon people. If FOX is such bad news why are they killing all the other networks in thee ratings....because by far they do tell the truth in comparison to other networks

I am glad to see that you are still talking about the lies Fox (faux) News advertised last week. I couldn't have said it any better then you did.....Fox News PROMOTES they do not report. Has Fox offered any type of retraction? Stupid question....Fox admitting they were wrong would be like Glenn Beck admitting himself to a psychiatric ward....its never gonna happen.

CNN is simply the best News Network ever!!! Fox wants publicity all year round? Play American Idol already!!!. Bad Publicity FOXY!!!!

and we are suppose to trust anything coming from the Huffington Post....Ha!

THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE COVERAGE OF HOW BOGUS FOX IS!

Rick,
Fox news is so scared that the Republicans would lose their ability to take over Congress in 2010 or 2012, that they have to promote events to have people believe that their is angry out there.

Launching an attack on Fox News is not going to increase your ratings, Mr. Sanchez. You still remain in the basement with the other leftists. You did NOT cover Acorn, nor did you cover the march on Washington. Your idea of the truth is sorely distorted, possibly a Cuban thing? Now that Obama has lifted the ban on travel to Cuba, it may be time for you to go home.

As for your no-police-chase mayor: when a southerner says "bless your heart" you can be sure you're not being told the truth!

Hey Rick, I know you won't post it but if you are fair and imbalanced how come CNN slammed President Bush at every opportunity and to date according to CNN President Obama has done nothing at least questionable in CNN eyes....laughable

Fox News called you out CNN, and now your trying to fluff the deck, by trying a stupid stunt. Cnn's ratings are the worst they've ever been and fetting worse by the day.

Thank you, Rick for calling out Fox (not news)!

Do you not think that the full page was taken out by fox because they felt they did not get enough coverage. What better way to get more coverage than to take out a full page and say that news outlets that covered them didn't cover them. Why do you guys fall into these crazy people's trap.

I only feel outraged and angry as an American when I happen to hear or see what kind of garbage they are doing on Fox News. I am saddened that so many citizens gobble up this crap Fox is shoveling into their mouths.

Thanks Rick, your the man!!! We need more stories exposing fox as nothing more than mouthpiece for the corporate free traders and back stabbers who are financially destroying this nation!!!!!!!!!!

Rick,
Give it a rest already....When Dems are scared they scream racism...Will not work this time around

This is insane... Who do they think they are? Claiming other stations aren't covering stories, that's desperation if I've ever seen it.

Rick I love your show! I only watch CNN and have seen everyone report on the Tea Parties in Washington DC and in other areas. An issue I have is when are people, US AMERICANS, going to start addressing the President correctly. I am always hearing Obama Obama Obama, Not Mr. President, The President or atleast Mr. Obama. This is an issue that is driving me crazy lately. He maybe a cool cat but people need to show him, his much need and deserved respect.

Hey, Jay
You should be just as saddened watching MSNBC or CNN but i will bet you think they are completely honest...laughable you are

I appreciate Rick challenging FOX news with the facts. Faux news is Hitler and their propaganda.

Hey Rick, Welford is a very small community and there are more people in a Walmart on sat. night than live there. It is no place for a car chase. If whoever picked this up from CNN knew that, I'm sure it wouldn't have been picked up. If they had a car chase someone would get killed. I question wether or not they have an employee capable of performing one. Great Shows Rick, Take Care, Rich

So Rick where was the Fair and Balanced reporting about Sarah Palin during the campaign in 2008??????????

Why even bother....You will only print what you see fit for the NETWORK

Rick you will never be the investigating reporter ot journalist that Glenn Beck is. You are on the Lib payroll and affraid to really be a Journalist .
If you have to spend time bashing a opponnet then you are in need of Viewers badley
Joe

Regarding the story about the producer of Fox News "coaxing the crowd to cheer".It appeared to me that they cheered before she raised her arm,and she was just cheering along with them as she seemed to be talking on her cell. Next story please!

Rick, thanks for having the guts to stand up to Faux News! I can see O'Reilly now, screaming at his TV for you to "Shut-up!"

fox lied about you not covering the DC tea partry ????
your owrd is not good enough......show us all what CNN did cover...i watch all the news and didnt see anyhting by your guys at all....only your word that fox lied ,,,,you are a joke......
and whta about ACORN ???? how about somehitng about that as well?

FOX blows doors on CNN, what about the girl reporter for cnn at one of the town-halls , she was only looking for people in the crowd that had natzi signs, when the regular, down to earth mother exposed your reporter. Dont try and say that cnn doesnt try to push an agenda....mabey thats why your ratings are less than desired!!! Fox rules!!!

RE: take a 'lunatic to the fair' day in California!
That he escaped only means that he may be crazy, but not stupid.
Don't know how his supervisors passed the civil service test.

Wow. You got awful upset over FOX news. Sounded a little kindergarten to me. Whats really behind the animosity, Rick? We thought you were above that kind of name calling. Was it really necessary to point out the obvious to your own viewers. Come on, do I sense a little jealousy?

You are no journalist, Richardo. Just another talk show host running from one topic to another, not really covering anything.

They have halted all field trips "for forensic patients" or "forensic patience?"
This criminal man is insane. I always though that people who are insane did not know what they are saying and doing. This man does not sound insane to me. He took with him a cheque, food, clothing and water. He told people that he was being released. He contacted a friend to live with. He knew very well what he was doing and what he planned to do. When he was caught he said: "I am finished." He also had a knife. Insane it was said about him? It appears that if this man had the opportunity he would murder someone and the one who would have harbored him. The law better think twice about this man's sanity. He seems to have all his faculties. There are those who will say that those who murder are insane or were temporarily insane. Some of them will even claim to have lost their memory. So much for that. I call them wicked and inconsiderate people who deprive others of their lives and who themselves want to live. They try toavoid imprisonment and execution and so their lawyers and some psychiatrists will state that they are insane and were insane when they committed the crime/murder. Another mistake by his lawyer and the judge. The law could be lax. In some cases, the lives of people are jeopardized by the actions of these people who practice law and those who hand down the sentence. Those lawyers, judges and no exception some psychiatrists are to be held responsible, in this case, for this criminal being allowed to go on a field trip and escaping from the group. It is a good thing he was caught. Who knows what he would do or how many murders he would commit.

Hey Rick...please talk about CNN and not any other network. If I want to see what FOX is doing I'll watch FOX. This tattletale thing that you do with FOX is the same thing Keith Olbermann does on his show. That's why I quit watching MSNBC. Now, you're doing the same thing. I could care less what FOX is doing. Do YOUR thing. Report the news on CNN and not news about any other network.

You covered it – minimally. And if you are so concerned about unity why such outrage? You do not sound like a "real news organization" but rather childish in your response.

Wait just a minute.

It hasn't been all that long ago that y'all were PRAYING for rain. In fact, didn't Sonny Perdue himself stand on the steps of the Capitol and pray? And didn't that produce a couple of small rain showers?

And didn't everyone act kind of dissatisfied with that?

Well, maybe this rain is God telling you to(1) watch what you pray for and (2) be a little more specific!

Ha. . .my previous comment is still "awaiting moderation." What a laugh you people are at CNN. You not only pick and choose the news you want to report, but you also seriously screen any comments that show your true colors.

Here is what I don't get, all these wack jobs posting today slamming CNN for biased coverage and claiming fox is getting such high ratings!!!!! What the hell they doing watching CNN???? Is the coolaid over at fox getting a little bitter to swallow?
Just thought I'd ask......

Rick it is unfortunate that FIX news still call itself a news organization.

why would a Republican worry his about the White House and a Democratic Governor..if he's that concern donate money to Governor campain. Do Michael Steele think he would have a job if there wasn't a black man in office. Michael Steele is a "black face" for Republicans.

Sad, that people will believe fox's right wing garbage,also sad we used to have a law that did not allow for foreign ownership of our news media , so now we allow a foreigner Rupert Murdock to sway public opinion

Rick, What is the truth about the water situation in the San Joaquin Valley? Hannity did a special and it looks like the Fed is really hurting the farmers. But the Fresno Bee did a column that claimed Hannity was misleading and that the situation was not critical. Why hasn't CNN done a story on this? You are the only news anchor I follow on Twitter b/c I believe you report the truth. I hope I'm right b/c I don't trust the news media much anymore.

Good job Rick. Fox news needs to get rid of Glenn Beck–the dry drunk. I am a senior citizen and have never heard just BS that Fox news reports. I don't call what they do "reporting". I call it "brain-washing".

Re: Taxpayer rally in DC and FOX News. I was at that rally. That FOX News woman who you said supposedly told people when to cheer may not be entirely true, as you report......people were cheering loudly all the time for the speakers, and in your news video, I could hear the speaker in the background. Maybe she just wanted it louder for the cameras, who knows. But she DIDN"T orchestrate all the support and cheering....it was already there. Give the marchers, like myself, a little credit.

Rick...as much as I enjoyed your verbal slap in the face to the idiots at Fox, I couldn't help thinking yesterday that you were talking their bait. I think THAT is what they meant by saying you were a "sucker." By trying to justify the facts that CNN DID cover their circus, you gave them even more air time by showing clips from "their event" yet again. However, after today's clip of showing what fakes they are at Fox by "promoting" their so called "rage"...I think you win the argument! BTW...I hope everyone who likes Beck reads the new TIME article, which shows how much money he's sucking out of his "fan" by taking advantage of their anger for his own multi-million dollar benefit, through books, newsletters and even his own merchandising! This former "morning zoo" DJ sure knows how to take advantage of people!

Rick , I watched you in south florida you was good . now you are great. Latinos for Rick Sanchez

Rick, You sure fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.Do you believe for even one second that Fox didnt know CNN covered the ralley!!!! You cant be that dumb.They now have you talking about it and look at all the coverage you have given the ralley.
Cnn is so far into Obama and so one sided it makes one wonder,but arent all networks.Scared i guess.
Like Beck you appeal to a certain group and they believe what you say .Keep the bull comming and as long as you do what your bosses say you can keep your job.
By the way ,im seventy years old and have been listening to this for a long time

your right my brother watches fox news so we argue a lot and everytime we go check to see who's right and I end up being rigtht because fox always leaves out stuff.

Rick: You take the cake: What happened to your " STONES" man. I remember when they had to ship you off to Texas because of your association with the Hialeah corruptor. You had (note HAD) stones then. This topic you are on now because a NEWBi producer with fox was hyping the audiance is beneath even you. You guys were in the tank with the other media for not getting on the Jones & Acorn matter so your attempting to smear FOX. Granted she was stupid but at least I can reley on them to balance the other bias media. It's the media job to give us news as it is, not whitewash it. Did you sell them, if so get them back.

Being from Tennessee, almost everyone in my home town watches Fox news. I have friends who have no idea what is REALLY happening in the country because they watch Fox News, listen to Rush and the other right wingers. So, unless CNN actually takes out an ad on the Fox News Network proving that CNN did cover the Tea Party in Washington, that part of the country isn't going to hear that CNN covered the ralley. I knew about the rally and I seldom watch Fox News, so if I knew about it, the rest of the viewers of CNN saw it, too.
I think I can safely say this – you are not going to win any viewers away from Fox no matter what you say. But, I think CNN should call Fox New out, which you have done. Good for you and the rest of the folks on CNN (well, except that guy who is on at 7:00 p.m. – I'm guessing he would be more at home on Fox, since he supported the 'Birthers').

Right on, Kimo!!. . .It's interesting how CNN and Obama are so much alike. Obama has to go on 5 networks on a Sunday morning to tell the American people not to believe the lies they're hearing about his health careless plan; and Sanchez has to devote an entire hour to portray his archrival as a liar. Hmmm. . .I think there are a lot more important things we could be talking about here.

FOX, CNN, MSNBC, HLN.....CBS, NBC and ABC do a MISERABLE job of reporting the news. You all should be ashamed of the state of Journalism in this country.
David Gregory appears on MSNBC regularly and sure sounds liberal to me...no professionalism there.
I don't care about program hosts like Rick, Glenn, Rush, Bill and Sean......they can be opinionated.....they're NOT journalists!
But, you others are a disgrace.

Hey Rick, If they don`t apologize, why doesn`t CNN and the other networks get a lawsuit against them.

I think it is laughable that CNN and MSNBC can't do a show without mentioning Fox news. I will admit that CNN covered ACORN and the 9/12 Tea Party MORE than NBC and/or MSNBC but did NOT devote the attention that these stories deserved because of the clear biased agenda CNN does have....CNN is starting to come around (at least I haven't seen anyone claim they were getting a chill up their leg when they heard BHO speak) but again your so-called "reporter" Susan Roesgen is a perfect example of the bias when she treated the tea party protestor with such contempt for speaking his mind – and he was accurate mind you.

Rick~
Please take the high road in the dispute with FOX. Let it go.

If you want to call someone out on objectivity, you should be objective yourself. Your surly bashing of Fox news today is not unbiased news reporting. If you want any credibility, lose the snide comments and attitude. I might think that you are actually trying to convey the facts rather than being a pathetic hypocrite.

I was not surprised today when you said that Glen Beck is not a journalist. It is obvious that he is not. I was equally surprised to here you say that you are a journalist. If you could observe yourself objectively, you would recognize that you are all about theater and slanting the presentation of most news items in a way that serves to support your own subjective view of the topics.

Rick:
You say "Lies should be exposed." What about the campaign lies Mr. Obama seems to have forgotten about? Such as:
He will read all bills before signing.
He will not allow lobbyist in Congress.
He will not allow 'pork-barrel' spending.
He promised to close Gitmo.
It seems to me, he keeps changing his story. Maybe he forgot about those promises?????
He also keeps changing his mind about the HealthCare bill. He can't seem to be specific on how to structure it. He says illegals will not have access to it. Congress however, says all they need to apply will be a Social Security number and Drivers License (picture I.D.) I believe illegals are currently able to acquire these documents for cash from illegal sources, so how will that work?
I'm really tired of hearing his daily speeches.
It's time to put substance where his mouth is.
I would like to believe in him, but it gets more difficult every day.

So sad. Sure, you covered the Tea Party, but tried to dismiss them as nothing or importance. It took you weeks to cover ACORN and that's only because you couldn't sit on it anymore. Like you're sitting on the fact that Obama appointed a Communist as the Green Czar! Don't have the ba@@s to go with that story, do you. You're a disgrace to Journalism as is CNN!

Rick: CNN did a good job covering the Tea Parties. However, your analysis of David Paterson and Joe Corzine is way off! Joe Corzine is a former Chicago insider and has lots of connections with Goldman Sachs etc. In other words, Joe Corzine is an Obama insider and a member of Obama's "elitist" class! Poor David Paterson ONLY graduated from Hofstra with a bachelors degree and has no pedigree not to mention he is handicapped (blind). Obama is the most elitist administration ever put together and in this respect he is totally blind to what is going on! In Obama's world you are only qualified to do anything important in this world if you are an Ivy league grad or a buddy of Wall Street financiers or Chicago politicians! I believe that this is Michael Steele's view of this and certainly he is not suggesting racism as you allege! Rick, I am shocked that you would report this as I usually rely on you as an objective reporter. Stick to the facts and let the public make their own opinions!

I watched your coverage of the DC tea party and I would hardly call that coverage. I am a moderate Republican and if I could have gone to that tea party I would have. I know plenty of others like me who would have done the same.
And yet, you and very very biased reporters at CNN constantly referred to us as that angry hard right conservative mob. You show only clips of the more fringe right, not reasonable people in the middle like me. I am outraged at your so called coverage because it is not unbiased, not fair.
While I'm not a fan of Glen Beck and Rush LImbaugh, I don't think you are much better. You are like a sheep in wolf's clothing, pretending to be unbiased but never ever reporting on regular Americans who vehemently disagree with the fiscal policy of this administration.
I am not a racist. Indeed, I am proud that Americans have elected a African American President. BUT I think the class warfare that the Democrats have started will only undermine the lower-socio-economic population that they seek to help.

For a change, START REPORTING THE VIEWS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME!!!! WE make up the majority of Americans who disagree with this Administration!

Fox cable news won. They made CNN cover the right wing event in Washington twice by having to prove that you did show it in the first place. Sadly the joke is on CNN.

You claim that you are a journalist. What stories have you broken? Glen Beck the communist czar Allen. Hannity the Rev. Wright, Obama's mentor. And of course O'rielly who has gone after pedophiles with a vengence. You just sit on your plump rump and yell and holler. CNN reported so few times about the Washinton anti health care rally you could hardly tell it was being reported. And then it was decided slanted against the people who attended by placing emphasis on the loonies instead of the serious people. Yes, CNN is last in the news because it can only read the news others create.

To All CNN Staff,
The "TRUTH OR LIES" series is truely appreciated. We need to know the "truth" and with so much misinformation going around it is only creating more fear and disention. Please add where we can also find and read the facts when possible, like the proposed health bill.

I think everyone knows right from wrong, when all the "negative" television and radio news reporters like FOX speak out against "our" President and "our" Country it only goes to show how hateful people can be, yet call themselves Cristians. Do us all a favor and run a segment on "What am I doing to help my country" besides complaining?

Thanks, your integrity speaks for itself and we are only as good as our leaders, I am Thankful that CNN is the Leader in reporting the facts.

Well done Rick,
Was it a publicity stunt by foxnews, definitely. That pretty much tells you what they are about. Foxnews is about as fair and balance as a 500 lb man on a seesaw with a kid.
It's not about "playing their game". Some times it's about standing up to punks and saying No, you will not slanderize me without me in your face.
Sure there is more important things to talk about, but when a jack$$$ knocks on your door there is only so many times you can ignore it before you have to get it their face.

The good thing about it, is just like any other punk on the street Fox news will return to catering to the narrow minded, scary, neo right wing nutz so they can pat themselves in the back and make each other feel good.

No news organization is covering the news in an objective way. CNN's Anderson Cooper referred to the people at a Tea Party Rally as 'Tea baggers'. That is a very nasty term to use to describe people. There is also the case of the reporter Susan who was extremely nasty to people at a rally.

CNN is just as 'liberal' as Fox is 'conservative'.

I don't trust either one.

You certainly are not a journalist. Wolf Blitzer is a journalist. Your democratic bias is patently obvious and innapropriate except when you identify your remarks as editorial comment. When you try to educate us you appear self-serving. Yor self promotion is particularly offensive. Daily you act more and more like Mike Galanos on HLN, and that is not a complement. In your half reporting the real reason President Obama has attacked Governor Paterson's run for reelection you tried very hard not to identify Paterson as a democrat but you were to dumb to pullit off.
Yesterday on CNN's Sunday morning show " Reliable Sources" there was a discussion of why the public's opinion of the news media is at an all time low. It is because so many of the reporters, like yourself and unlike Wolf Blitzer, pander to their audience rather than makiing journalism proud.

Rick,
The video of the Fox producer waving her hands shows her bias, but in no way does it dilute the cause of those citizens that came to the event. I hardly think they would not have cheered had the producer not waved her hands. These citizens traveled from distances near and far, made signs, etc. and were obviously passionate about their beliefs. Now if you had a video of Fox busing in the participants or handing out the signs, then you would have something of greater substance. Just because you have something "on video" doesn't make a story. There must also be substance. The level of bias shown by the video is no greater than that which can be inferred from productions of all news organizations, CNN and FOX included. Also, had your story not reported that Fox disciplined the producer, I really couldn't say for certain that the producer was indeed biased. From the video, it appears possible that the producer was just giving them the sign they were "on air" (knowing they were ready to cheer anyway).
Rich

If Fox was really interested in the truth, they would start by correcting their name to what they actually are;

MON Murdoch Opinion Network

or

RON Republican Opinion Network

or, as they were during the Bush years,

RAJ Republican Al Jezera

Hi Rick, I watched the entire 9/12 event and it was pathetic.I will admit I was suprised at the numbers,but this was well orchestrated with millions spent, free buss rides,months of free advertising ala Fox News.The Corporate backing was obvious.I have been to bigger Rock-Concerts where people Paid to get in.

So Rick, I'd like to k now if CNN has apologized to Fox for the female CNN reporter reporting from a “tea party” in Chicago a several weeks ago when she said the following while interviewing a protester…..QUOTE: “Are you aware sir that the ’state of Lincoln’ has received 50 million dollars from the government in bailouts? (not allowing the citizen to respond)... Well, it’s obvious that this is an anti-government protest, and an anti-CNN protest since it’s been organized by Fox News, and it’s not appropriate for family viewing, so we’ll send it back to the studio”. So CNN reporters of course aren’t at an event just to to REPORT on it, but to thrust their political viewpoint into it, as well as denigrate the sincerity of the American citizens who have a right to protest the fact that the government takes about 50% of our income to do with what they wish, not what we wish. I’m angered and want that reporter fired! Has she been disciplined, as you suggest the Fox producer will be for nencouraging the crowd to cheer? CNN reported these protesters as anti-family, anti- government, anti- American! Shame on CNN!! And shame on you, Mr. Self-righteous Sanchez!

The video is about as high a standard as your comments and coverage......You can obtain almost anywhere high quality photos of those Mob demonstrators.....however,...they look entirely too much like normal peaceful American citizens that you would have a hard making them look like an unruly Mob!!!

Fox"News" The Borat of News

If rick knows so much about a "real" network why doesnt he go work for one ? i quit taking my lunch breaks at 2 b/c hes on the break room tv. Acorn.. what can i say..... if the tapes are false why didnt the employees get their jobs back ? or did they already have a new job at cnn checking facts ?

Rick, Sunday night I flipped over to FOX news to see what was going on. Hannity was in CA with the farmers saying the government had turned off the water to the farmer's crops. He had a guest speaker on that denied what was being said was not true, but Hannity wouldn't let him get a word in. I really would like to know what this is all about and if it is true.

Rick
Your a left wing wacko and you spin the truth daily to make your points
so keep your brainless cool aid drinkers happy

b

I don't want to join Twitter, or Facebook, or Myspace, so I have only a faint hope that my message will get to you.

1. I don't trust Fox's "pundits, but I don't relay on Carville and (especially) Begala, either. And MNBC's Keith Olbermann is not exactly a paragon of objectivity and reason. Nevertheless, Fox does let its editorial bias seep into its news coverage. So does CNN, though not as egregiously.

What precipitates this comment, however, is your assertion that Steele called Obama a racist. I listened very carefully to his words comparing Corzine and Paterson and heard nothing to justify the inference you recklessly made. Am I missing something, or are you guilty of what you charge others with.

One more complaint: You are on national television, with an audience of millions. As such, you have a responsibility to the English language. Please learn not to use "like" when you mean "as."

I think you can respond to false accusations with a lot more dignity and less showboating than this... I mean, everyone in their right mind knows Fox is one of the worst sources for news, but this guy is not making CNN look any better by shouting on a "news" show. Why not just bring back "Crossfire?" What a great testament to our nation that piece of confrontation garbage was.

Extremely unprofessional. I don't like CNN anyway, and this rant from Rick Sanchez has not helped any.

It's a shame that I have to go outside my own country for balanced intelligent news reporting, but this sort of thing is exactly the reason why I get my news from the BBC. They don't shout at me.

Rick, your envy was showing re Glenn Beck. You say you're a journalisat and he isn't? What scoops have you and the rest of your fawning-over-Obama colleagues ever made like Genn has about ACORN, Van Jones and all the radical czars who want to turn America socialist and the facts about Obama's true ambitions? What's your excuse for being nothing more than apologists for Obama? Why aren't you asking Obama the hard questions?
The fact is you can't stand the comparison. Instead of admiring the good job Beck does and helping him inform Americans, you would rather destroy his character any way you can.
I wouldn't take too much comfort from the comments that agree with you.. Just shows the majority of people watch FOX and not you.and don't comment,. because there are millions like me who are fed up with the poor job the media re doing to fairly inform Americans. and FOX has filled that gap.

You are the MAN Rick Sanchez! I bow to you!

I am ashamed that you would stop so low as to attack Fox news on the air. Some fair, balanced, unbiased, news reporter you are!
1) You are a news anchor and are paid to deliver the news.
2) You are a hypocrite, everything you trashed Fox for today (9-21-09) you are guilty of. Look in the mirror and see how biased and one sided you have become over this issue.
3) It is you mad rants and finger pointing that give Fox its legitimacy. If they were such a bad news organization they why are you even giving them any mention.
4) You do not have your own political show like Glenn Beck, or Keith Olberman. If you did have your own political show then rant away, but you don't.
5) CNN ratings are no where near Fox News and the reason for that is you don't leave them alone. Can you not go one day without mentioning them? People tune into Fox News to see what the big deal is about, and frankly they like what they hear and keep tuning in. Fox News should be thanking you for sending all of your viewers their way.

Way to go Mr. Journalist.

To George Castro,

Regarding the alleged Fox producer, waving her arms to get the rally people worked up and then ducked down.

Let's try this...even if she was a Fox producer why can't she get involved with a patriotic rally. She's allowed to have a little fun while she is working. She ducked down to allow the camera man to take pictures, stupid..
You people are so one sided (against FoxNews) that you can't see the forrest for the trees.
P.S It is possible that the young lady may not have been a Fox producer(like you know all of Fox employees) Come on....

Rick – Bless you for exposing the lies and deliberate misinterpretations that go on at that sleazy "news" network, Fox. Aren't there laws being broken over there that need to be investigated.
Fox is faux..

Finally someone with the cajones to take on Faux News and call them on their crap. They are nothing more than a 24-7 propaganda channel.

To Steven,
I don't watch CNN. When I want news that are unbiased I go to FoxNews.
I only found out about the FoxNews ad and Sanchez' remarks, from an email I received from a friend.

I started reading the blog comments and I felt I needed to respond.
And Steven, I am not a wacko....I am 68 years old and I know the truth when I here it and if I am not completely sure, I investigate on the internet.
I have been watching FoxNews for over 5 years and I have never caught any of their newscasters in a lie. I have caught many other newscasters on other networks, lying.
One final point, you can say all the bad things you want about FoxNews, but they are the #1 rated News Network in the world and have been week after week after week for many years. Actions speak louder than your words.

Bill from Cocoa

Good Job Rick, not only did you point out that fox was publicly lying but you also proved it! By previous posts one can see the comments from Conservative Republicans who are so pissed you proved fox was lying. Thanks also for showing the video of the fox producer telling sheep when to speak up and cheer at the rally that drew between 60k-75K people, not the million plus people have been spewing. I heard some of the photos and videos showing huge crowds to bolster the claim were actually from a rally 12 years ago! When you have to try and lie to decieve people about your positions, your cause is lost.

Rick,

You acted childish in regards to the tea parties.

You called another host names, yes you did!

Why?

By the way, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS are blocking for Obama!

Look at the questions Obama gets from the so called media!!

When I thought of Obama winning the election, I thought he was

going to mend ill feelings from our foes and build stronger

relationships with Republicans, but all I see is a cocky dude who

can care a less what WE the people think!!! That's why Americans are

P ssed off! They are demonstrating peacefully and your network

multiple times called these people "mad", "angry" and some said

Un-American....

Your network is late on everything!!!

ACORN? SEIU? APPOLO? Van Jones? Mark Lloyd, and all the czars!

Rick, if you want to be an actor go to Hollywood!!

But your no journalist! I have NEVER seen ONE cutting edge story

ever from you!!! Who are you? Just another order taker from your

network!!

Way to go Rick. Call them like they are.

Rick said, "P.S. Oh yeah. CNN also covered the ACORN story."

Yeah, Rick, that's sort of the way CNN covered it. Sort of as a P.S. An afterthought. Late to the party.

while you may have covered this story, although i do not recall it being mentioned in the days or weeks leading up to it, you absolutely blew it on the ACORN scandal. it seems to many observers that you did not mention anything about it until it became so big that you had no choice. i also find it very disturbing and hipocritical that you would rip on fox news for being biased, cnn was the original liberal news channel although msnbs has surpassed it now. go ahead and rant all you wish, americans no there is no un-biased network out there. only difference between fox,msnbs and cnn, you refuse to admit it.

Rick. Just. Tries. So. Hard. Too. Hard.

This is the same anchor who actually believed GWB was being snubbed by other world leaders as if he had "cooties." Brilliant.

There's a saying in baseball that if you need to make a case for a player being in the Hall-of-Fame that they probably don't deserve to be there. If Rick Sanchez needed to make a case that CNN covered the 9/12 rallies, then there was probably a case for the FOX news claim. The CNN coverage I saw was pathetic,
but that's just fine with me.

You see, right now I could care less what liberals or liberal journalists think. My focus is on the Independents and the fight for Middle America. The liberals are getting their heads handed to them in that fight, and news organizations like CNN are doing their damdest to down play that. Fine.

FOX is so popular (sorry Rick, numbers don't lie) because they are the ONLY voice for millions of Americans which are getting ignored by this president, the congress, and the old media. The more these millions are marginalized by ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, WAPO, NYT etc., the madder and more determined they get, and the more middle Americans wake up and become disillusioned with the socialistic path this country is on. So you just keep on stoking that fire Rick because everytime you do it's another lost battle in that all-important fight for 2010.

And God bless Lou Dobbs. Now THERE's a man with integrity

You have done a couple great things lately:
1-spelling out the Joe Wilson situation and explaining what was and what was not in the proposed health care bill regarding illegal aliens; and
2-calling Faux News to account.
Keep up the good work.

I loved your piece about Fox News! Good job Rick! I'll be watching your show from now on!

Fox gets ratings because it's a sensational station. Right wing Drama everyday. FAUX is FAKE and that's why we love them so (they provide,most times, entertainment, even with the lies they constantly tell. The Public uses FAUX NEWS as our barometer for evil ( I wonder how evil the republicans are going to be today? Uhmm, let me check FOX). That kind of thingy.

Faux is IMMORAL and unethical in their reporting of what should be NEWS. I have some News for fox: when you have to stage it then it is not news but a staged event- much like Jerry Springer.

I knew it was staged already and didn't need this new discovery to figure that the PEE PARTY PROTEST was just a farce.

The PEE PARTY PROTESTERS claim to protest the very thing they supported for over 8 years with Bush- spending us into poverty. They are obviously HYPOCRITES and collectively is not much better than a 10 year old who really does not know what he/she wants, lie, and too selfish to share.

To that Poster who said to ship the good ole LOU DOBBS to FAUX NEWS I say YES, I agree. Pack him and FED-EX Lou Dobbs Priority overnight, please! You may bill my Fed-Ex Account as my small contribution to fair and balanced reporting.

Jill

It seems to bother you that President Obama is actively trying to clear up the lies you people put out there to mislead the debate on the healthcare reform.

He will do as much as you people make it necessary.

All of us at the Tea Party are concerned about this country going bankrupt and we appreciate that FOX covered the event which was historic in many ways. It now looks like in addition to owning car companies and the health care industry that Obama is considering bailing out his liberal media pals at the New York Times and other left wing organizations pretending to be NEWSpapers. Given CNN's declining viewership maybe CNN can apply for some bailout out money too! I am sure he would hate to see any of his free advertising disappear.

Hello Rick,

Its amazing how people care more about the cost of the health care plan/benefit than people actually having health care! It also, amazes me to know that most of the complaints are coming from so called Christians thar suppose to care for their brother first then their pockets! I have learned a person real truth about religion when you hear their opinion about healthcare cost! I will trade/give up or give any person my healthcare coverage on my job because it doesn't mean scwat at all.

Thank you for time and listening!

Robin W

Sure, ahh ahh. Uhmmm, ok.

The tea party in my opinion is America once again at its worst but where were they (tea party) when the Prime Loans were running rampet! Silent as a rooster when the sun goes down. Why are we always at the tail end of the truth. In other words what should matter doesn't and what doesn't matter gets the biggest uproar!

The adult behavior is nothing but ashame and I bet most if not all of them are school/college teachers doing exactly the opposite of what they teach! I see why education is a joke in this country look at the tea party demonstraters! I've seen students conduct better than the tea party adults! I can remember when behavior was everything and now its on the back burner along with much of what America once represented.

Steve

Think we've got a full blown Racist here guys! Back away slowly and do not make any sudden moves; it's likely to pounce.

Metal Hip-Hop

You said 'democrats were against civil rights' and while this maybe true I didn't see you stepping up to anyone at the PEE PARTY and telling them that they should get rid of the images/stuff that will be perceived as racist/bigotry?

You should have told them that they looked like a MODERN DAY LYNCH MOB instead of sincere protesters.

YOU SHUT DOWN A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THOSE RACIST ATTITUDES AND MAKE THEM AFRAID OF A FUTURE WHERE YOU WILL LEAD THIS GREAT NATION. IT IS A SCARY PROPOSITION!

Fox is not a news channel. It is the Right wing propaganda channel . And there should be some law againstt lying and making news up. People can't be allowed to lie , distort facts and malign others under the guise of freedom of speech. It is like allowing someone to curse , and call people names in a public place to their face, at the top of their lungs and nobody can stop them from doing so because of freedom of speech.

Fox Is not fair and balanced. They are definitely right sided. Why do they not have any news anchors of color?

Rick
You are the man!!!!!!!!!!

I often wonder just how it is that Fox "News" is allowed to have a broadcast license. The air waves belong to us, the American people, not to corporations. or to private individuals, and being granted a broadcast license carries with it certain responsibilities for accuracy and truthfullness which are sadly absent at Fox. There was a recent poll done about where people get their news, and those who get it from Fox were the most poorly informed and made the most factual errors when asked what they knew about various subjects. Mind you, the poll was not asking about opinion, but about matters of fact. Considering this, it seems to me that Fox News ought to either be forced to straighten up and report factually or to have their license revoked, and soon!

You were awesome today with the story on Fox news and that crazy Glenn Beck. Fox news lies, as does Beck and it's so unfortunate that so many people actually listen to and believe their lies. I'm so glad to see that you stood up to their bullying!! Way to go!

Rick,
I am amazed at all of the pro-FOX responses. It just seems to me that FOX has a stranglehold on many (and I do mean MANY people) It is good to hear at least one voice trying to get through the endless chatter that Fox calls news. Keep up the good work and eventually viewers will come to their senses. It is frustrating to hear so many that are uninterested in the facts and just go for "the party line" which slants the news.

Way to go. It was the first time I saw your show (that clip was shown on Wolf Blitzer's show)since we get CNN international. Its disgusting what Fox is capable of doing. Freedom of speech indeed.

Um....you refer to FOX news as a 'NEWS organization'. That's like refering to Real Time with Bill Mahr or The Daily Show as 'News Magazines'. Fake news is fake news.

Oh, and DO NOT let it go...Hold their feet to the fire, let them know if they make up nonsense and LIE (!!!!) they'll be called out. I'm hoping there are enough educated Americans that FOX will collapse into it's own pity of hate and BS. You could get an extra hour just fact-checking the past hour of their 'political entertainment network'.

Wow Rick- you've gained some loyal and savvy viewers after letting Fox have a piece of your mind. Let's see now, you have Edward and Kino that don't want people to watch Fox so their ratings will drop in the Nelson ratings(Sorry guys- I believe that is Neilsen). DJ wants to boycott the products advertised on Fox like Moveon.org did( I think the idea is to CONTROL the content of the media this way.) David wants you to SUE Fox(what are the grounds? More viewers and higher ratings?) Cindy has been led to believe she is paying for other peoples social security and medicare benefits( It was prepaid by the retiree from his own paycheck in advance during HIS working years(and all the millions of other workers) and the gov. was not supposed to dip into the SS trust fund of the citizens, but allow the fund to continue to accumu late billions in interest for use at retirement(too tempting to gov. to just ignore and not use- thus the concern the program is going broke). Pam doesn't really know her left from the right. Marcelo wants to get rid of Lou Dobbs(now that would really cause CNN's ratings to plummet). Kerri-Ann doesn't like that Obama is not referred to as President Obama( It all started with President Bush being referred to as Bush, little shrub, or Dubya and the media can't be accused of discriminating, so the trend continues).And last but not least, Alexlyrics. I also believe there should be some moral decorum adhered to in public on hate or racial signs.(would have been nice to have when Bush was burned in effigy etc. by Code Pink and others, a likeness of his head in a basket under a mock guillotine at an Obama rally, lots of Kill Bush signs and t-shirts, a picture of him doctored to look like Osama Bush Laden- is that a double standard?(google the info.) I am not sure many in the Washington protest are even aware of Mark Williams or his views( the first I heard of him was his interview on CNN) about Obama. He is an embarrasment to ANY party( I think you may have meant Pee Party or maybe not). But you can't enforce a law to prosecute Stupidity. I hope I didn't get your last nerve, and wish you well on the bar exam.

You are a sucker Sanchez. I watched the portion where the crowd was cheering and you view of the producer fabricating it. Do you need glasses? Look closely. The crowd began cheering before she raised her hand. It appears that she wanted them to cheer louder. You can't fool the masses, Sanchez. You are definitely a dummy.

Way to go! Glad to finally hear someone on a major network call Fox News out.

kudos.

CNNs coverage was minimal at best. Looked liek there was intentional downplay. Sorry guys but you'd better take a look at the polls....the approval of the government is tanking & so is CNNs ratings. I used to watch you but you don't cover all the stories any longer.

I wish tha Don Lemon also had a blog, so that I could tell him that he is just as much in the tank for B Hussein Obama as you are.

Becky,
If you had watched Rick, but then you said you don't, you would have heard Rick's explaination. CNN covered the protest, they did not promot it like FIX News did. CNN is not news promotion.

Bill from Coaca,
Do you remember when fix news reported that a Mccain voluntee was attacked in Pensylvania and it turn out to be a lie, are you still going to say that fix news do not lie?
Terfa from Michigan

Rick,
I take my hat off to you for standing up to Fox news. That was the best of the best that I ever saw on a TV program or newscast.
CNN should be proud to have you at that desk.
I salute you

Another primadona liberal elite thinking he is a real newsman. Please Ricardo! Because one news outlet is conservative vs CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, New York Times, Wasshinton Post etc.. your undies get twisted. Quit being so thin skinned and try being a little more of a professional and quit whining.

Speaking of things that were or were not covered, how much reporting was done about the "Tear Drop Memorial" – a gift from Russia – which stands in Bayonne and honors the 9/11 victims. It's been there for 3 years – never have seen any coverage at all! It is stunning!

Rick you are this old hippie's new hero! Now if we could just get the rest of cnn's reporters to start calling out all the other conservative lies we have heard lately.

Oh yeah, just for the record, 90% of the people I talk to are strongly for a public healthcare option. They just don't strap on guns and howl like loons.

Chuck K.

First, I should state that I watch ALL cable news channels regularly in order to get it from all sides & then decide for myself. Grown-ups can do that. Secondly, if anyone on here actually believes that MSNBC is any less biased than FOX, they have not been watching with open eyes and ears. Everyone knows that the head honchos @ CNN were in bed w/the Clintons. So, while they may not be as bad as MSNBC, they lean slightly left. Glenn Beck has NEVER, EVER, EVER claimed to be a journalist or one who even reports the news. Asking Beck to deliver the news without opinion would be no different than asking Jon Stewart or Bill Maher to do the same. Just because he is on FOX News does not mean it's NEWS!!! Good Jesus. CNN reports on news that has happened or is currently happening. MSNBC & FOX have news commentary shows. Who are you to assume adults do not know the difference? I don't need someone to tell me how to feel about the news, that's not why people watch commentary shows. I know you tell yourselves that as reporters, in order to reassure yourselves, that we're all just blind sheep who don't know when Beck, O'Reilly, Maher, Stewart, Olbermann or Maddow are wrong. Chris Matthews cannot seriously be considered a journalist or even a reporter. He's more partial to the Obama administration than Olbermann or Maddow. Google exists, we can find info for ourselves... maybe that's why Mr. Sanchez is attacking Glenn... unless there's a crisis happening, no one's watching.

I'm glad Fox News accused CNN of not reporting the Tea Party, because it gave you, who I respect very much as a reporter, an opportunity to publicly show them for what they are-totally biased in every way. No matter what time of day I flip to that channel, just to justify my feelings, I find they are bashing the Democrats or the President in some abhorrent way, rarely attempting to just report news, any news. Thanks for expressing my feelings to a T!!!

Rick. . .Referring to your headline, how can a "fact" possibly be wrong? Is English still your second language?

To willfightanddielikeaman . . .

Excuse me? This President has forced more lies down our throats than a set of hands can count. I am bothered. And it's because of the general IQ of this nation, and those who have put this President on a pedestal he is not deserving of. Get back to me when you wake up and see the light.

Ignorant comments from ignorant people. I WAS AT THAT MARCH ON DC! The number of people there WAS overwhelming....it looked like a million to me. Someone said they used video of a march 12 years ago to make the crowd appear large. Bull! It was that large! AND, this was NOT a "RIGHT WING" march. I met normal, average people from both parties...equally...and from all over the US. THIS WAS NOT a march of republican vs. democrat, or right vs. left...it was so much more. Wake up America.

MR RICK WITH ALL THE INFIDELITIES AROUND FRITZER/GOV OF SOUTH CAROLINA /JOHN EDWARDS ETC ETC HOW THE HECK DID O RIELLY SQUIRM OUT OF HIS GEO

Chuck L.-It would make sense the people you encounter would support a public option. I believe you assume the ONE individual that strapped on a gun to attend a town hall meeting would be a white loon. If you had also watched Fox, you would have known the person with the gun strapped to his leg was actually black. My point being, most of the mainstream media chose to show a cropped picture of a gun strapped to a man's leg, and most viewers would assume he was a white radical. Not so. I don't know if he was for or against HR3200. He said he was exercising his right to bear arms. There was no disturbance caused by his having a holstered gun, by anyone but the mainstream media that gave the perception he must have been"part of an angry mob of wing nuts"(google the entire picture for yourself) We need ALL the facts presented by our government as well as the media, not just half-truths and innuendos. That is the reason the "loons" are "howling". Of course some of us still believe it is exercising a right as Americans to expect accountability from the Congress that was elected to represent the people, and spend taxpayer dollars to benefit all Americans, not to promote their personal agenda.

What makes a Fox News believer?

Google:
OK students and George Washington

...........for the answer

Okay Rick Sanchez....

Just saw your outrage at FOX news' add regarding 9/12 protest. Lets see your indignation get you to report on the National Endowment for the Arts and the conference call it organized for artists to encourage them to make art promoting health care reform.

Clock is ticking on CNN.com having any hits for "National Endowment for the Arts" search...have you reported on it?

Entire conference call transcript is available on line.

Consider this a news tip.

Rick,
I usually agree with and enjoy your reporting. But you are completely wrong here. I was actively viewing the cable news stations on the day of the 9/12 protest on my DirectTv news mix channel. CNN did not adequately cover the events or even cover them responsibly. It was as if the coverage was slanted toward the view of CNN's liberal side. It may have been the biggest news of the day, as well as the days before and after. The terms they used even tried to to diminish the size of the crowds. Saying "thousands" were there really suggested that the crowd was not significant. I believe if you go back and watch the reports and number of times it was reported on, you will find it laughable.

i cannot even begin to imagine the number of viewers you've lost over this.

even the examples you showed of CNN coverage had reporters labeling protesters in a negative way OR highlighting the most extreme protestors. that is not coverage – that is distortion for a purpose. you distorted the news for a liberal leaning benefit. i couldn't stand watching you rant – it was so much worse than usual from you. cnn has lost so much credibility lately. why don't you just concentrate on making yourself a better reporter and a better network for the people...for ALL of us!?! attacking other networks is so petty and only hurts you. mmm...sounds like advice I give my children.

Daniel Lyles

Are you actually saying Fox is bloated on the right side and may need some BLACKTACID to relieve all that GAS?

NEIL V.

Sure, ahh ahh. Uhmmm, ok.

DAVID PETERS

Sure, ahh ahh. Uhmmm, ok.

CHUCK L

ME-YOU, SEE EYE TO EYE!

DON'T SEE A SYSTEM WHERE EVERYONE WILL BE BOUND TO PURCHASE OR BE FINED.

SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF FINES WILL BE GIVEN AND A LOT UNPAID, AND IF IT COMES WITH JAIL TIME THEN MANY PEOPLE JAILED FOR NOT PAYING FINES THEY CANNOT AFFORD.

PUBLIC OPTION IS THE ONLY LOGICAL WAY TO GO.

JILL

My dear Jill, you said, "...This President has forced more lies down our throats than a set of hands can count", and you are basing this on 8 months of Presidency?

Compared to President Bush's 8 Years of lies I would say President Obama has a lot of catching up to do. Here is one example of Bush's vicious lies: he took us into WAR (cost us a lot of LIVES and MONEY) based on deliberate and false information.

Now, my dear Jill, when you say President Obama lies it would do your argument justice to give examples as I have done above.

You continued, "...I am bothered. And it’s because of the general IQ of this nation,..." and I agree with you but blame should be given to those who try to keep education away from the less fortunate.

Republicans have created what you now dread, and what you think you could control if you keep the less fortunate illiterate.

You finished by saying, "...and those who have put this President on a pedestal he is not deserving of..." and I ask you with what authority do you remove the pedestal to which so many people have placed this here BLACK President?

Who are you to say he does not belong there, and why doesn't he belong there?

Give me a great reason why he should not be there only after 8 months? And, please, no lies and no crimes less than Bush/Cheney's, please!

I bet there is none except the one he was born with, uh, JIll?

ROBIN W

Sure, ahh ahh, uhmmm. ok, will get back to you.

CarolTX

We all know that when we see a Black person with your crew we know it's basically PI (public illusion)-lol.

Those Blacks want to belong so bad they would hurt their great granny for your acceptance.

You are dreadful for using them and you should stop because GOD is not sleeping.

Send those Black people home and let them know it would be better for them to fight against the RepubliKKKan than fight to be subordinates and never equal to the RepubliKKKans.

Rick,

I love your piece on Fox News... CNN does cover the news, unless it against a democrat, and then you guys cover it very late and not objectively. The Van Jones store was not covered until late. The Tea Party story was cover late and describe the activist as far right Republicans. Campbell Brown is a complete joke and covered the presidents speech to school children but left out the part about the president pulling his resume and changing his speech, until one of your guest pointed it out to her... I am a Democrat but definitely fiscally conservative (Blue Dog Democrat). Your rating prove that people are getting tired of your skewed coverage of the news... Fox presents ALL of the news with a conservative view, and CNN presents pieces of the news with a liberal view.

JAMES

The world knows that the "PEE PARTY PROTEST" WAS ACTUALLY A LYNCH MOB.

Plan failed as the secret service made sure your target was no where in town.

Rick,

I posted my comment long before reading the rest of the bloggers... After reading most of them, CNN definitely has a problem with most of their coverage of POLITICAL events...

Monica

Sure, ahh ahh, uhmmm, ok. Do not call us we will call you.

This is in response to a comment left by Chuck L out of Carol TX. I could not stand by & let this half true comment go by without a challenge. "I believe you assume the ONE individual that strapped on a gun to attend a town hall meeting would be a white loon. If you had also watched Fox, you would have known the person with the gun strapped to his leg was actually black" Once again another deception of half truths. There were at least 2 incidents, in which cnn reported, of guns at the town hall gatherings. One individual with the assault rifle and hand gun strap to his leg was black. The gentleman that did his staged interview with a gun strap to his leg was white. At another gathering the individual with a gun strap to his leg was white. I suggest that you may be better off getting your news off of youtube instead of faux news. Glenn SR

Check the rating at CNN, and we will them speak for the American viewing public... CNN is getting crushed, but... the people don't matter in congress or on CNN...

Logically there is no real healthcare reform in favor of the middle unless the middle has public option.

Can you just imagine the overwhelming amount of fines that will be levied against people who simply cannot afford the cost of insurance, and can you imagine the amount of fines that will go unpaid because, again, the people are not able to afford the fines either?

If this President must make a change and this change involves making it compulsory for people to join then there better be a public option.

I am not sure I would feel comfortable paying a fine for something I cannot afford (healthcare) only to have those fines used to pay for the very thing (healthcare for others) I cannot afford and was fined for in the first place.

It makes no sense, and, therefore, will lead to me and millions like me not paying those fines.

I see Public Option as the answer and if not then this is just a failed attempt at reform.

anti.socialist.behabior

1 mil plus people, Sure, uhh uhh, uhhhmm, ok. Right, Right. Will send Rick's boss a memo. I need a cup of coffee, and please make that BLACK.

It does this country no good to put false blame on President Obama for President Bush's deeds- destroying the American economy.

topher

Sure, ahhh ahhh, uhhhhhhmmmm, ok. your complaint is now filed.

TO ALL THE PEE PARTIERS!!!

We all had our eyes on the fanatics at the MODERN DAY LYNCHING PARTY, and to tell the truth I couldn't have seen so much of it except via CNN. CNN is closer to being an objective news station than FOXY WOXY.

This claim that Obama is going to bankrupt us is so fallacious. You can only go bankrupt when you have money and not when you are already broke.

Please, get it together and stop placing false blame where it does not belong (to Obama).

Bush and the Republikkkan'ts should get the credit for Bankrupting the good ole USA.

OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS WALKED INTO AN EMPTY TREASURY.

As a matter of fact, it was CRISIS treasury.

are my posts going to be posted because the one that I wrote immediately after seeing Rick's tirade didn't get posted. my jaw had dropped in shock at the unprofessional rant – very un-CNN but then that's how it's been since leading into the elections last year. VERY disappointing when one is searching for a balanced place for ALL of the news. While FOX does lean conservative at least they cover everything AND they dig for info while the other networks won't rock the current president's boat ( now that didn't apply when Bush was in office). I don't want to be a spoon-fed follower. Give me the info...ALL of it and I'll decide what I think of it. People I talk with are turning to Fox and BBC more and more these days. We are getting informed.

Sorry Rick, but you got played! Fox worded the ad carefully to get a rise out of the other networks and you took the bait. As always, CNN covered the march, but didn't report the story of the two groups, TEA party and 9/12 ers working together in this march, how and why they were formed, what their issues are, etc. We only here, "There is a dark undercurrent", well, we didn't see it here today, but we've seen it across the nation at other rallies. Wow! What story are they reporting if they're not reporting on what happened on the day of the march!

Why is over 1 million Americans upset with our Government Rick? Do you really not get it, or are you just spinning the story? Hmm....

I like your show, Rick, but I think in this instance you got punk'd. FOX baited you and got you to run clips of all your coverage of an event that they strongly support and was to some extent organized by one of their own. I think you should have just said "FOX – 'You LIE!' We covered the march and anyone who doesn't believe us can go to our archives and see the reports". And then be done with it. You just gave the organizers more free press.

CNN is still covering it. I'm watching it live now and judging by what he's saying, it looks like Ghadafi is one of the speakers !

You haven't posted my previous messages about Rick's example of CNN's coverage. I wondered why so I went back to look at the video you have above so I could write down the specific examples that got my blood boiling that day AND guess what!?!? I don't see them...some editing going on? I know that the first example he showed in the original broadcast caught my attention because it was so demeaning to the protestors. That appears to be edited out. Hmmm. I'll have to look into this further...are you blogging this fairly?

Wow – willfightanddielikeaman is truly in denial....don't worry you will eventually awake from your kool-aid induced stupor.

Yep...some stuff is deleted between Lemon's intro and then Steinhauser's comments. I think Fox would like to see this falsfying of your broadcast that you've posted here...don't you? You're sure attempting to rile people up with your examples of fair reporting. Sad, so sad.

Rick,
Why do you even care what Fox News says?

Glenn Sr.- I only saw CNN show the cropped pic. Later on Fox I saw the full shot. I didn't see the other photo's on either station. I watch both channels when I get the chance, and missed" the rest of the story". I stand corrected.

I find it interesting that the people who camplain about the negative coferage of the so-called 'Tea Party' protesters' is be cause the protests are, in fact negative.
The Boston Tea Party was about "...taxation without representation..." In this country we have free elections. We have representation. If the tea baggers don't like the representation they have they can vote them out of office. That they haven't indicates that a majority of the American people have made a different choice.
That the 'tea baggers' don't like the choice is irrelevant. In a democracy the majority rules. If they don't like it there are still some dictatorships in this world where they may feel more comfortable.
~;^}>

Hi Rick,Teabaggers Claim Fox"News" has the highest ratings Wrestling and Springer have high ratings, but I think they are more Real!

I love to watch CNN. Rick Sanchez, is the greates person to watch on CNN. He does an outstanding job.

As for FOX, they might as well admit that they are the Right wing news, and quit trying to say the lies. I loved Greata van Susteren, and even followed her to Fox for her show only, but it was no time at all, before she was pitching their conservative agenda. I was shocked at her lack of integrity and quit watching.

Awesome job Rick! Now can you talk about how they're shows are all opinion and no fact and how they're not covering Moammar Gadhafi's speech at all?

I'm Sorry but seriously neither you or Fox is anywere close to being Fair Both bias. I wish American's Could start taking a step back and thinking for yourselves. The problem I have is this child like banter from both sides GROW UP report the news from now on show what is happening and that is it stop with any other antics just show us the truth.

This is for all you blockheads that like what the Democrats and Obama are doing. After almost 8 months of watching, I have come to one conclusion. There are two very large groups of people that love what Obama/Democrats are doing.
Group #1 The wealthy ones. They believe no matter what happens to our country, they will be amune from all the trouble because of their money. They think they will be able to buy their way through life with their money.
Group #2. The lazy, good for nothing "Me" generation, who want the Government to give them everything, because they can't get it on their own.
But all of you are in for a big surprise. When the anarchary starts nobody will be safe. Because it will be each man/woman for themselves.
It will be George Soros and his buddies, the ones that are pulling all the strings against everyone else.
Which group are you in?

God Bless America
Bill from Cocoa

Thank you that is all i have to say

Is it not evident that most news medias have at least a SLIGHT bias? CNN needs to examine their own ranks/tendency to be slanted before pointing fingers at the slants of other news medias.

Mr. Sanchez, I really appreciate the way you stand up to FOX. More of our journalists need to do that. In fact, I'm proposing an all out journalistic attack on FOX. Such an attack would do two things. One de-mask FOX as a news organization because it is not. FOX's real business is in getting money and spreading disinformation. If FOX were the story headline every time it lied or or twisted the truth, the real journalists could get back to work. This of course, is the second benefit of going after FOX. Journalism would win and the thinking people in this country can believe in their media again. It's unfortunate that the media, CNN in particular, has allowed FOX to define them. By taking that so called neutral road that was left after MSNBC took the role of liberal left, CNN has played into FOX's hand. If CNN were to be the journalists, the investigators, the risk takers in haunting down stories and call FOX out everytime it manipulated a story, FOX would cringe and disappear, because fact and truth are not what they dispense. So far, Rick, you are the only person with the guts to call FOX out. We need our investigative reporters on the job. Our country needs the benefits of real journalism to get past the junctures we've reached because of the lack of truth and information. FOX is not good for our country and the only thing that can stop it is real journalism. Make FOX news the story and we can begin to get that back. FOX has set the template for how news is done and they are winning the battle. Call them out. Investigate the truth and put FOX on the spot. America needs its.

Did I hear what I think I heard on one of Obama's talks last Sunday?

I can hardly stand to listen to him however, I did hear a bit last Sunday, when he referred to HIS country, I couldn't believe that he does not claim the United States of America as "his country".

If Africa is his beloved country, why doesn't he return there!! Maybe he could be their president!!

The Honduran Government and most of it's citizens are protecting themselves from another Hugo Chavez ! What does Hugo Chavez really want ? To be another Fidel Castro ! Now Honduras should have free, fair elections . We should support them and understand their actions !

Any student of history will probably remember the minister of propaganda for the nazi party, Joseph Goebbels. He acussed his opponents of socialism and attacked them with "the big lie" theory. This theory was if you told an obvious bold lie and just repeated it often and loudly, the masses would believe it. He used it to convince people that minorities were trying to destroy the country... unfortunately it worked and violence ensued.

If only the media had been more courageous in exposing the lies.
If only there were not so many weak minded sheep.

Rick, Elsberg interview cut off to go to "tear gas". Most peoples eyes tear up and cough more when the pollen is high. CNN, don't go Fox News hyperbole!

I watched your unnecessarily long rant on You Tube.
One thing it will be good for is a drinking game for every time you say the word "covered" or "promote."
Maybe you are just a little bit sore that nobody is watching CNN? On September 18th, the day of your self-indulgent tirade, 535,000 viewers watched CNN and 1,527,000 watched Fox.
By the way, I reduced my viewing of CNN after its deplorable coverage of the Tea Parties on 04/15. Go back to the CNN coverage in Chicago on that day. The CNN journalist, Susan Roesgan, was unprofessional and biased and failed completely to "cover" the news story.

Rick,

I watch CNN and Fox News and if you go to CNN right now you will find headlines:

World Economy
Chavez view on bush the devil
Iran Sanctions
Sex tapes
Kennedy
Healthcare

And several other topics...

There was nothing on Israel Netanyahu

CNN hates America and we are to blame for all of the worlds problems...

Ted Turner pulls all of your strings... Wise up !

Chuck L.

ME-YOU, SEE EYE TO EYE!

TELL THE LIE LONG ENOUGH AND IT BECOMES THE TRUTH.

Chuck L.

IT MAY BECOME THE TRUTH FOR SOME BUT STILL REMAINS NOT FACTUAL TO ALL.

June Risner

Are you saying he would also make a great prez for a UNITED AFRICA as well? I agree, as a matter of fact I think he could be Prez of the world, and the first one too.

My dear June sit back and relax because much like July is only a month away from JUNE so is another Black Presidents just a few elections away. Prez Obama is only the first Black man there and many many more to come.

It seems so funny you racist folks always find us Africa to send us back to when convenient but guess what my dear, TOO LATE!

LOL!

WE ARE HERE TO STAY, AND DETERMINED TO CHANGE THANGS 'ROUN HERE!

Bill Hosier, Cocoa, Fl

Sure, ahhh ahhh, uhhhmmmm, ok.

Does that include those unemployed folks who had all that time to go Lynch Mobbing in Washington, Oh, sorry, I meant PEE PARTY PROTESTERS.

Or did they get paid to march?
