It all got ugly when Domick pointed out that Jews like Stewart have a sense of what its like to be an oppressed minority. Sanchez responded sarcastically "yeah Very powerless people... He's such a minority, I mean, you know ... Please, what are you kidding? ... I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they -- the people in this country who are Jewish -- are an oppressed minority? Yeah......"
Sanchez adknowledged that Jews had a history of oppresion and had many Jewish friends growing up in Miami and understands how older Jew may feel senseitive towards bigotry. Sanchez points out that just becausee someone is Jewish doesn't mean they are not capable of being prejudice but does not make them more likely to be than others.
Many prominent Jews have made similar observations as Sanchez in regards to Jewish power in the media. Writing in the LA Times colluminist Joel Stein in an article titled "Who runs Hollywood? C'mon" stated that "I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood."
Actor Ben Stein wrote an article titled "Do Jews run Hollywood? You bet they do...and what of it?" were he states "First, it is extremely clear to anyone in Hollywood that Jews are, so to speak, "in charge" in Hollywood in a way that is not duplicated in any other large business, except maybe garments or scrap metal or folding boxes."
