CNN anchor Rick Sanchez was fired Friday by the news network after he went on a tirade during a radio interview calling Jon Stewart a bigot and accusing the "elite, Northeast establishment liberals of labeling him as second-tier because of his Cuban-American background, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company," the statement from CNN said. "We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well," it added.
The TV host, who was born in Cuba and raised outside Miami, said that racism in the media comes "not just [from] the right," but also at the hands of the "elite, Northeast establishment liberals," during a Thursday interview on the "Stand Up! with Pete Dominick" SiriusXM radio show.

My Cuban friends do not want to be labelled as Latinos.
Yes, this is a little know fact. Many Cubans consider themselves Europeans. Cuba was a very mixed-race place but many of the early refugees to the United States after Castro's takeover were of pure Spanish descent and do not like to be classified as Latinos. It's a sensitive subject so I won't go further.
Also many Indians (from India) do not consider themselves Asian even though they are often classified as such. I know an Indian Engineer (from the very upper class of India) who considers himself a European. He even looks more European than Asian. This is also a sensitive subject so I won't go further.

“Rick’s List” is another name for his grocery list. “Beer” is always at the top.

Actuallly, I’d trade Beckell or Colmes for him
To: RobinMasters
I’m certainly pleased to hear this, but it’s worth noticing that they didn’t fire him until he called the left racists. That is a heresy in the leftist religion, only conservatives are-and guilty till proven innocent-racist.

Wow, couldnt happen to a better guy, we had him every night on local channel 7 for years pesting the airways. He reminds me very much of Grayson from Orlando!!!I still live in Miami (Hometown) and I always thought Rick and CH 7 were a perfect match. They both have mentalities that say: If it BLEEDS, it LEADS when it came to the news. I remember his car accident where the cops wanted him to take a DUI breath test, but he'd already rushed home and washed his mouth out with mouthwash that had a high alcohol rating before he meekly turned up at the police station for his now tainted breathalyzer. Rick Sanchez is slime thru and thru.

I enjoyed the “useful idiot” aspect of Sanchez. Other than that, good riddance.
