CNN’s Rick Sanchez returned to blasting conservatives on Wednesday’s Newsroom program, blaming the recent murder of three Pittsburgh police officers on the Fox News Channel and other media on the right: “That weekend tragedy involves a man who allegedly shot and killed three police officers in cold blood. Why? Because he was convinced, after no doubt watching Fox News and listening to right-wing radio, that quote, ‘Our rights were being infringed upon.’” He tag-teamed with Media Matters fellow Eric Boehlert to argue that conservative media personalities like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity were offering “garden-variety fear and hate mongering...night in and night out.”
One could be sure that Sanchez would be pointing his finger squarely at his competitors on the right from the first moment he mentioned the gun issue, which was 13 minutes into the CNN program. After playing audio of gunshots from the Pittsburgh murders, he gave the following promo: “What you’re hearing there is three police officers killed by a man who thought President Obama would take away his guns. Who put that thought in his head? And how many more Americans believe that? Could it be 1.2 million Americans? You’re going to see why I’m asking that question.” Sanchez gave a further hint that his target was Fox News during another promo ten minutes later: “Are Americans being fed a pack of lies about President Obama and guns laws? And is it creating a gun buying panic? ‘We’ll report, you decide.‘ That’s not too obvious is it?”

Damn, what an a$$hole. And Sanchez, too.
Why would Holder show up at the funeral?
I’d say for nefarious reasons.
Sure.. don't blame the ones committing the crime

Sheesh, this guy is Olbermann Jr. I wonder what his ratings are?
How many times has Sanchez been nailed for drunk driving/ At least once. He has always been a joke. He was tied up with corrupt politicians in Miami (Hialeah) back in the early 1990s.
Thisis just another example of how despicable the left is.
You can become a fan of Ricky on Facebook.
You can post thoughts on his wall then.
I am now a fan of Ricky.
Foxnews should sue this ba$tard so the rest of the MSM will stop their BS.
I don’t think any stretch of the imagine that what happened in Oakland was ‘rightwing’
And then they aired it!
