We the people need to start contacting these stations about their bias and racist hate they are spewing people...call, write or email...flood their asses about it...another way is to TURN THEM OFF...they rely on viewers to keep them afloat...this is getting ridiculous...

As The Hill points out, Ted Cruz isn’t actually of Mexican descent, which makes this faceplant by Steven Liesman on CNBC yesterday even more obnoxious than it already was. Liesman, who blamed Ted Cruz for delaying the September jobs report from the BLS because of the shutdown, decided to title the data the “Senator Ted Cruz Jobs Report,” which certainly falls within the bounds of a supportable argument, whether one agrees with it or not. It’s when Liesman called for a soundtrack that CNBC got into trouble:



“We’re going to call this the ‘Senator Ted Cruz Jobs Report’,” Liesman said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

“There he is!” Liesman shouted when the network showed a picture of Cruz.

“Can we get some music to go along with that, some Mexican music or something?”

Cruz’s father was born in Cuba and his mother is of Irish and Italian descent. Neither are of Mexican descent.

Normally, I’d tend to dismiss this kind of ignorance as unremarkable; there are a lot of fools, and the media has its share, and more. But with the doyenne of Salon shrieking about racism with every legitimate criticism of Barack Obama and opposition to his policies, including the shutdown about which Liesman gripes about here because a government report was late, the somewhat-more-than-latent hostility expressed about Cruz’ heritage (or non-heritage, as it turns out) is well worth noting.
