Fareed Zakaria Never Fails Me

braincontour — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 02:00:46 +0000

CNN’s GPS host, Fareed Zakaria, is the only CNN host worth watching on TV. The rest, like Anderson Cooper and Larry King are a joke! Fareed Zakaria is the voice of wisdom and he is the only one who can dig beneath the surface. I love this guy and his show.

Watch the video below as he broke his silence over the BP oil spill.

Comedian Adam Carolla – Forever Racist

Adam Carolla

Damage has been done Adam Carolla! Whatever you say today or tomorrow, however you say your apology, you will forever be known as racist. Filipinos will always label you as the one who is demeaning and an “ignorant fool.” If you don’t know anything about the country, then shut up your mouth.

Saying that Manny Pacquiao is a “f***ing idiot” really crossed the line. I believe you fell short of your dream of becoming a boxer before, then prove it now. Fight Pacquiao in the ring and let us see whose knees would bend. I mean, really bend and twist!

Too bad for you Adam Carolla for staging a fight against the whole Philippines. Your name is now blacklisted in our hearts, just like what we did with Claire Danes — we condemned her publicly in 1998 and declared her persona non grata.

And as thousands of Filipino bloggers spread the the word, you would become the most popular racist of all!

Few lines of Adam Carolla’s racist comments:

“Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao. Get a (expletive) life as a country.”

“They got this (Pacquiao) and sex tours, that’s all they have over there. Get your s**t together Philippines. Jesus Christ. I mean, again, it’s fine to be proud of your countrymen. But that’s it? That’s all you got? … Get a f****n’ life as a country, all you’ve f****n’ got is this illiterate guy who won’t give up blood who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people, that’s all you have as the Philippines? … All they have over there (in the Philippines) is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores. What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?”

Update: Adam Carolla acknowledged racial slur and apologized.

The Rick Sanchez Stupidity Acts

There goes the stupidity of CNN’s Rick Sanchez again! I really dislike the foolish, dumb-acting stunts of Rick Sanchez on his show. Are Sanchez’s viewers kindergartens, that he had to ask questions like, what a 9-meter drop is? Or was his intention to embarrass his guests on live TV?

And why does he have to be angry when reporting a news?

Rick Sanchez apologized! Duh!

TV Hosts Who Make Me Change Channels – Part 1

There are few TV hosts who I find either annoying or unpleasant to the eye on TV. They may be knowledgeable and good at what they do, but their facial expressions and sometimes actions they perform while hosting their shows just do not fit my taste.

Tony Harris, CNN News Anchor – He frowns all the time. He makes unnecessary grins during interviews with his guests.

Larry King, CNN – He may be a legend, but he needs to retire. I am tired of his one-liner questions that are sometimes out of this world.

Glenn Beck, Fox News – The guy should go back to college and finish his degree. Maybe when he gets one, he’d be able to come up with cohesive thoughts.

Al Roker, NBC – This weatherman can be funny sometimes. But he should stay as a weatherman. Whenever the Today Show assigns him to interview a guest, he messes things up.

Martha Stewart – At first I thought the lady was friendly. But after I saw how arrogant she was when she guested at Rachael Ray Show, I lost my admiration. I think this lady does not know how to appreciate new and younger talents.

Jon Stewart, Comedy Central – Among late night talk show hosts, Jon Stewart is the one who’s very knowledgeable on politics. He can be funny, but not when he makes faces and acts like a retard. He cannot be like Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Fallon, who both can make people laugh even if they don’t utter a word.

This is related to my previous post about Efren Peñaflorida, the CNN Hero of the Year. The event was televised last night and I was on my seat at home, so inspired and proud while watching Efren Peñaflorida receive the major award with teary eyes. He gave a short yet uplifting message, that is to find our heroes within us.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper revealed Peñaflorida’s selection at the conclusion of the third-annual “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute” at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
