BREAKING: Rick Sanchez Fired From CNN
Mediaite ^ | 10/1/2010 | Steve Krakauer

Posted on 10/01/2010 3:26:51 PM PDT by tsmith130

CNN released this statement today:

“Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.“

They will broadcast CNN Newsroom from 3-5pm for the foreseeable future.

Here’s more from the story earlier today: CNN’s Rick Sanchez is not happy with being made fun of constantly on The Daily Show and Colbert Report. It is from this jumping off point that he absolutely unleashed on Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and at times his own network, on Pete Dominick’s satellite radio show yesterday.

The big takeaway – Sanchez calls Stewart “a bigot,” then walks it back a bit, and he implies CNN is run by Jews.

Rick could be a laugh riot, but jerk humor gets old fast.

the threshold for what many here call anti-semitism is rather low

which makes true National Alliance style anti-semtism less real

VERY true! So true that maybe that's the subversive, unspoken point of it.

If we're all anti-semitic, then no one is the most anti-semitic.

One of the posters elsewhere suggested he was speaking out of his own insecurity. I think that’s true.

Or he was just being dumb. Glenn Beck has the right view of Sanchez:

(Stewart) is bigoted towards Christian conservatives yet rails about everyone else ignoring his own prejudice

There is NO ONE on earth Stewart hates as much as conservative Christians.

Christians, period, for that matter.

And he's a phony. His real name is Leibowitz. Is Stewart the real Jewish bigot? Is he ashamed of his Jewish roots?

He postures as the comedic "everyman," but he's east coast upper upper middle class. His brother is Chief Operating Officer of the New York Stock Exchange.

So much for "everyman."

Yes, please lay off the Latino jargon.

I am anti-illegal. Not anti-Latino. Let’s keep it that way.

G Larry,
I have a new box of straite razors I’d gladly donate to Olberbutt to help with his career change.

She looks great for a bride who was 5 months pregnant at the time.

Ricky Ricardo could sing and dance and tell jokes.

Rick Sanchez was a big nothing.

Hey, every girl deserves to wear white at least once. But yes, there is definitely a baby in the oven.

Wow, what a nutjob. Of all the news networks to accuse of being run by Jews, he picks the one founded by Ted Turner?! Yup, Ted Turner, real semitophile there....

Nothing bigoted about that statement. Bigotry is directed against minorities, who are powerless. Jews control everything, so of course they’re not a minority, so it’s not bigotry to denounce them for running yet one more thing./sarc

The anti-Semite charge is ridiculous.

Of course, if Sanchez were smart he would have used the standard “old white men” complaint. Had he done that, he would still be working.

Probably. Isn’t everything these days?

Thanks so much to both of you.

I just watched it about 5 times.

Had to see it to believe it.

I said a prayer for him last night. I knew him years ago, before he was married. He wasn’t a bad guy, as far as I was concerned. Can’t believe he was so stupid. I don’t think he’s going to find another job.

Ah yes, Neil Rogers. Is he still around? Or did he die?
If he were still around he would probably imply that RS is gay.

I understand how you feel. I am of latin descent, been in S. Florida many many years and remember him in his early days at Channel 7. I remember thinking more than 20 years ago that he could be a big time anchor but have been very disappointed in his lefty bloviating in recent years. It’s one thing to be liberal, another to be unserious and silly.

I don’t wish him harm but his style of silliness is uninteresting and not in demand as it pertains to real news reporting. Perhaps his future is not news but E! or a game show or something liberals like that has nothing to do with news. Liberal news is dying and I would agree that his prospects for a decent future in news probably don’t look good.

Last I heard, he retired. He moved to Toronto and broadcast to Florida from there prior to leaving the airwaves.

“I suspect MSNBC is negotiating with Rick`s agent as we speak”

Probably. MSNBC would consider him a great catch. He would fit in perfectly over there.
