CNN host Rick Sanchez fired after Jon Stewart rant
New York Post ^ | October 01, 2010 | NEWSCORE

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.

Which actually makes it a pretty smart move. An obviously drunk dude bumped into my car years ago in a parking lot. While I called the cops he ran back into a bar. By the time they got there they couldn’t prove what he drank before or after the accident so he got off scott free.

I’ll always remember that.

He probably could have gotten away with a hand slap for calling Stewart a bigot, if he had just stopped there..But when he outed the Upper Manhattan “powers that be” as being bigoted (fake)Jew “intellectuals”, as MSM liar overlords...He had to die.

You can’t mention, much less criticize, Jews’ disproportionate influence in the entertainment business. Sanchez had been around long enough to know the ground rules: Christians can be scorned with impunity. Muslims and Jews are a different matter altogether.

Fox would never hire him, I don’t think, unless they needed somebody to fetch sandwiches and sweep up.

Civics and poli-sci might help, too, but he won’t do that. He’ll cry in his cerveza for awhile and then turn up at some obscure station somewhere.
