Arianna Huffington Not So Fond of Rick Sanchez, but Rednecks Love Him
The Miami New Times has a long history of disdain for former WSVN-er Rick Sanchez, but damn it if we're not warming up just a tiny bit to the overly enthusiastic, Twitter obsessed CNN anchor. Now, we don't love him nearly as much as the Red State Update guys in the video above. In fact, we'll probably never love him nearly as much as we now love these Red State Update guys and their Rush Limbaugh jokes. (New favorite web video series, you guys.)
"Another glaring example of the media's addiction to faux balance was on display Wednesday afternoon on CNN. It pains me to say that it was Rick Sanchez, whom I love watching and follow on Twitter, who fell into the phony "balance" trap.
The segment, which Sanchez dubbed "a classic showdown," was a replay from Tuesday's Lou Dobbs show featuring Barney Frank debating Michele Bachmann on her amendment that sought to deny federal funding to any group that has members who have been indicted -- a proposal aimed squarely at ACORN.
...
To present Barney Frank as the reverse image of Michele Bachmann -- both "vocal" spokespersons for their respective parties, both "reviled" by the other side -- is patently ridiculous."
