Andrew Sullivan: At Fox News You Get Rewarded and Promoted If You Say Something Bigoted

By Noel Sheppard | October 24, 2010 | 12:03

Andrew Sullivan on Friday said that if you say something bigoted on Fox News, you get rewarded, promoted, and celebrated.

As the topic of NPR's firing of Juan Williams was raised on the syndicated program "The Chris Matthews Show," Sullivan was far more critical of the cable news station than the radio network (video follows with transcript and commentary):

ANDREW SULLIVAN: You can't talk about all media companies. There are all media companies and then there’s Fox News. On Fox News, if you say something bigoted, you get rewarded, you get promoted, and you get celebrated. And that is a direct strategy. That's a media strategy. 

Unfortunately, host Chris Matthews opted not to play some of the bigoted statements made over the years by other NPR personalities that have gone totally unpunished thereby making Sullivan's point totally absurd.

If he needed some examples, he could have easily checked our archives.

Sayings from this POS Andrew Sullivan

Submitted by ThisnThat on Sun, 10/24/2010 - 1:53pm.

  • Conservatives are responsible for cultural and moral rot
  • Conservatives betray core American values
  • Conservatives embrace torture, a dictatorial presidency and now, restrictions on minority religions
  • Conservatives want a war with an entire religion

And, of course, he is exactly what NPR likes so much in a person -- a Gay Catholic who speaks his mind -- constantly and consistantly against conservatives and traditional cultural values. He would never go onto or agree with Fox News, which is even more likeable to NPR.

As an example of how perverted this person is, this is his quote: "My husband's an actor." A quote that is perfectly acceptable to NPR's "all things considered". To me, this is a distinct mark of how gutter-strewn our culture has become.

More Looney Tunes liberals

Submitted by Mary Louise Turner on Sun, 10/24/2010 - 2:03pm.

Are all the Looney Tunes liberals coming out at once?  First, we had Fat Eddie Schultz saying with a straight face that NPR is "down the middle".  Then we have Meathead and Bill Maher spewing garbage on HBO.  Finally, we have Andrew Sullivan calling Fox News bigoted on Tinkles' syndicated show.  Yipes!

So where did he say it?

Submitted by pbthinker on Sun, 10/24/2010 - 2:10pm.

Guys like Sullivan go on shows, like the Chris Matthews Show, so they can say things like this and not be challenged.  When is the last time Matthews had a real conservative on? 

I'd love to see Sullivan say something like this at a Fox News Roundtable and then see how soon they hand him his hat.  He can say it but he can't defend it.

Vote Republican - Then you'll only be called a racist one more time.

Noel, I think you goofed and cut the video short.  You cut off the part where he names the people on Fox who have been promoted and rewarded for saying bigoted things, and what bigoted things they said....

If you add stupid to racist and bigoted, then everyone at MSNBC are all qualified applicants for jobs at FOX. That is, according to Mr Sullivans criteria.

Precisely how Sullivan and the Liberal media and political squints have advanced in their careers.

Leave it to the Left to rely on pathological coping mechanisms as exemplified by the idiot Sullivan:  Projection 101.
