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.

I’m surprised he lasted this long, well, sort of. I’m looking forward to his discrimination filing with the EEOC. :)

I’m betting that before November is over Keith Olberman will also have a career changing blow up.

He just can’t stand the return of conservatism.

Well, it couldn’t have been because of Sanchez’ drunken hit’n’run, as they still have the other drunken hit’n’run newsreader, Jack Cafferty, on the payroll.

Remember that time Rick Sanchez allegedly drove drunk, hit a pedestrian, and then left the scene for two hours?

Minutes after midnight on the morning of December 10, 1990, an intoxicated Smuzinick darted out in front of a Volvo on a residential street near Joe Robbie Stadium. The driver of the car, WSVN-TV Channel 7 anchorman Rick Sanchez, became the subject of a subsequent January 16 New Times story that described the odd circumstances of the accident. Sanchez, whom a Metro-Dade police officer said “smelled strongly of alcohol,” first stopped his car but then later left the scene. A blood test to determine Sanchez’s sobriety was not administered until an hour and fifteen minutes after the collision. Though Sanchez says he tried to aid Smuzinick at the scene of the accident and flag down motorists, eyewitnesses claim the anchorman ignored the injured man and loudly told police and bystanders that blood tests were pointless, and would hurt his public image.

Why did Sanchez leave the scene? To try to get the alcohol out of his system calm his nerves:

His attorney, Richard Essen, now says the anchorman returned home and had “a couple of drinks to calm his nerves” before returning to the scene. Essen doubts that Sanchez’s DUI charge will ever come to trial. “I think the results of the blood tests will be thrown out,” the lawyer says. “If the results of the blood tests are suppressed, then there is no evidence against him at all. The state cannot proceed.”

Sanchez offered ZERO financial aid, and did not even bother visiting the man he left paralyzed…

Though Smuzinick’s health insurance policy covers most of his medical costs, it doesn’t pay for rehabilitative care. Family members say unpaid bills for physical therapy now total about $81,000. To save money, they have removed Smuzinick from the clinic’s head-injury program. Using videotapes to learn therapy techniques, friends, relatives, and former co-workers have begun to provide a semblance of the rehabilitation program they can’t afford.

One friend of the family, Kelli Crist, has distributed flyers describing the accident involving Smuzinick and Sanchez. The flyers list Crist’s phone number (680-2741) and request donations to help pay for treatment and therapy. So far the fund-raising effort has not gone well.

“Nobody seems to be interested,” Crist says.

Smuzinick’s fiancee, Jackie Stringhill, says it’s just as well that Sanchez hasn’t paid a visit to Smuzinick since the accident. “I guess his attitude bothers a lot of people. But we have enough to think about. We have our hands full. We don’t really talk about the accident much any more. Anyway,” she adds resignedly, “as far as Sanchez goes, what goes around comes around.

Jeffrey Smuzinick died on November 2, 1995, largely due to the injuries he suffered in the accident.

This is terrible. Sanchez fit CNN to a T. An idiot news reader for an idiot network. A decent news reader may increase CNN’s viewers, which could only be bad for the universe.
