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.

Let’s hope he doesnt take to the bottle and get behind the wheel AGAIN. That’s proven deadly to pedestrians in the past.

A majority of posters at DU seem to believe he was speaking through a cocaine-induced fog (because something similar happened in the past before he ever went to CNN?) and if any group would know...!

Yes, I suspect if this had happened in a more private forum where the public wouldn’t have been able to see or hear these comments for themselves, CNN would still have the Ricky show every day!

Jon Stewart can be a jerk when he wants to be, but out of all the comedic liberals, he may just be my favorite. LOL.

Pip, pip, cheeri-o, indeed!!! :-)

Libs at Wiki already spinning:

Dismissal from CNN

During an interview on Sirius XM's radio show Stand Up With Pete Dominick, on September 30, 2010, Sanchez called Jon Stewart a "bigot." When queried on the issue of whether Stewart likewise belonged to a minority group on account of his Jewish ethnicity, Sanchez responded, "yeah, very powerless people. [laughs] He's such a minority. I mean, you know, please. What are you kidding? I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart. And to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish, are an oppressed minority?"[8][9][10] Sanchez' statements were construed by CBS News and MSNBC as an assertion that Jews controlled CNN and other networks.[8][9]


Makes it sound like Pete Dominick was ASKING questions about Jews running CNN, doesn't it? When the truth is (for anyone who takes the time to listen to the interview themselves without an MSM off kilter filter) Sanchez was making all sorts of insinuations and implications about Joooooooooooooz! FIRST.

One positive thing we should do, though, for this sad, sad excuse for a human being--Wiki reports that

Personal life

Sanchez and his wife, Suzanne, have three sons and one daughter: Ricky Jr.; Robby; Remington; and Savannah.[3]


We need to keep all of them (Sanchez too!) in our prayers--this very public layoff is sure to be difficult for his family!

Stewart is a bigot. Stewart is a smarmy, ignorant liberal bigot.

Too bad Sanchez wasn’t smart enough, and thought he had a friendly interviewer in Pete Dominick. Didn’t Sanchez know Dominick used to work for Stewart and has a new deal himself with CNN?

I don’t like Sanchez but I really don’t like Stewart.

The media is run by east coast liberal elites. And here we have another example of that fact.

I haven’t watched ABCNNBCCBS for over a decade, and I had zero idea who this idiot was.

After reading a few replies, I’m glad that I didn’t know anything and will continue not to watch ABCNNBCCBS.

he’s a flaming ultra liberal ...no better than Bill Maher

sad thing is many folks who like him think he’s astute and a reliable news source

he and Colbert epitomize smarmy sarcastic liberals just waiting to call folks bigots

i loathe his type...he is bigoted towards Christian conservatives yet rails about everyone else ignoring his own prejudice

typical

Good post...the threshold for what many here call anti-semetism is rather low

which makes true National Alliance style anti-semtism less real

I guess he didn't want to have a job now he is one of Obamas unemployed

If he can rant, I think Jet Blue is looking for a flight attendant.

I just avoid watching any of them. As an average person I choose old re-runs of sitcoms or Spike tv over those CNN clowns
