I was thinking that the other day, but it is cereal monotony so you should take his opinion with a grain of salt. (its probably because Farhood is Jewish:deal)
He isn't, actually. Common misconception. I thought so for years. His face and voice, right? Well...superficiality can be deceiving. He is actually of 2nd generation Lebanese descent, and Christian.
I actually thought he was a Lebanese Christian as well. Like Danny and Helen Thomas and Ralph Nader, but I wasn't entirely sure. I went with it because I'm pretty sure CM thinks he's a Jew.
