Sanchez on Fox: Business Model Caters to ‘Angry White Guys’

After calling Jon Stewart a “bigot” and saying that news networks are run by Jews on Pete Dominick’s satellite show yesterday, CNN’s Rick Sanchez turned his ire toward Fox News and its audience, calling the viewers “angry white guys” and accusing the network of trying to get them even “angrier”:

The business model is very simple, there’s a bunch of angry white guys out there, so we need to program to them and the angrier we get them the more viewers we’ll have. And they were already angry to begin with so we’ll give them even a little more nudging. … Because if we do that we‘ll get them angrier and they’ll watch more often.

He mentions black teenagers “with their underwear sticking out of their pants” and Hispanics beating up “some white guy’s daughter“ as evidence of Fox pandering to its ”angry,” and seemingly racist, audience. Dominick then sums it up as “race baiting.”

Not done with his tirade, Sanchez adds that the only thing Fox is worried about is getting “more white people to watch” at the expense of making minorities look like they are “lazy” and “freeloaders.”

The Fox discussion starts at about 17:56 in the clip below:

    I‘ll bet Charles Payne will be very surprised to hear that he’s an “angry white guy”.
    Sanchez should have been kissing management’s feet to allow him to stay on the “2nd tier” this long.
    The CNN management have done themselves no favor in keeping Sanchez on the air as long as they have. He repeatedly shows how terribly unqualified he is to their audience and brings down the credibility of CNN across the globe. This is not to mention the loss of over all trust.

    Rick Sanchez in his tirade puts “ whites ” in one racial group and “ hispanics ” in another. Don’t this uneducated idiot know that whites and hispanics are both caucasian? Caucasian, negroid and mongoloid or the three basic races. We’re all one or the other or a mixture of two or three. After listening to the comments of Rick Sanchez I‘m convenced he’s part of a newly disovered fourth race, “idiotoid”.

    Rick Sanchez is a racist and should be fired. CNN is a network that prefers to judge people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.

      Who died and made Rick Sanchez “king of the bigots”. This guy is obviously mad at the world and in his opinion he is the only person on earth that has it figured out. Evidentially he “thinks” he’s the only one that experienced difficulties growing up. My opinion of CNN is very low and is now even lower allowing this jerk to rant and rave like a spoiled brat.

      @MikeJohnson Can you imagine what would happen if a news anchor on Fox called someone a bigot and then said the media is run by jews? He’d be out the door before his newscast was over.

      On a side note, much of the media is run by jewish people. And I’m an angry white guy who watches Fox. Ha.

      Isn’t it amazing to see all these Progressive nutcases attacking one another! I think it is great and hope they keep it up—people will truly get fed up with their inability to produce TV programs that are based on TRUTH, OUR CONSTITUTION, BILL OF RIGHTS! When your house is built on lies, it will collapse at some point. From what I’m reading today in various articles, they are self destructing! Isn’t that interesting! Maybe this will finally wake up their viewers to the real reality—PROGRESSIVISM IS A FRACTURED GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES! Not American humanity, rights, priciples, values, any thing real–just what they hear from their leaders who tell them lies daily! House built on lies will collapse!

      Anyone know what happened (or is about to happen) to Rick Sanchez to make him go all “Ed Schultz”?

      The “Imagine if a Fox host…” did this argument misses the point, the issue isn’t “if he can do it we should be able to do it – it is wrong, plain and simple, and should be condoned widely, loudly, and repeatedly. Anything less runs the risk of being viewed as support for his views.

      Personally, I think he’s about to lose his show, and he’s not taking it well – he probably figures if he gets enough spikes in viewership he can keep his show, or go down in a blaze of liberal glory…
