Oh the irony that in the same week that CNN's Rick Sanchez gets fired for anti-semitic remarks, Eliott Spitzer debuts a new show on that very same network.
I agree that there is absolutely no room in journalism for bias, racism or prejudice of any kind, thus the firing of Sanchez, in my personal opinion, is more than appropriate. As one talking head on CNN said this week, "He lost his credibility and as a journalist, credibility is everything. Is that so? Then let's talk about the same network debuting a show this week with one of its hosts being a man who's publicly known for frequenting prostitutes.
Isn't that illegal?! Why was this man not arrested? Oh yeah, because he's Eliott Spitzer, a politician.
And now he has a show on CNN.
What about his credibility? The man is a known lawbreaker!! In fact, it's believed that he spent about $80,000 on prostitutes, while he was Attorney General and Governor of the state of New York! Don't some men get arrested for visiting $50 hookers? Oh yeah, he's a politician. He's clearly more important than the average man.
This guy was earning a salary paid for by taxpayers and spending it on illegal activities.
I just don't think you can convince me that this man has any credibility, let alone enough to host a political show.
I will not watch Spitzer's show, and, again, in my personal opinion, CNN has now lost some of its credibility by making this deal with him.
Let's discuss.
