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.
Heres more from the story earlier today: CNNs 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 Dominicks 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.
Ohhhhhh! That is reeeally good!
I fail to see how his rant is any different than that of say, Cindy Sheehan or Jeremiah Wright.
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 Dominickâs 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.
Nice and trite. That’s all he deserves after what he said.
Stay off the streets, Rick may have a drink tonight.
Agree!
Let’s hope he doesn’t turn up on Fox——Sanchez said he was once considering it.
Heard a little on the radio talkshow on the way home, but this doesn't impinge on my world One Little Bit.
Although I admit for comedy he might have been good: Iceland is too cold for volcanoes? (I was held over for days in Europe when that volcano blew.)
CNN's ratings would go up if Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond read the news.
Best darn pastrami in the States!
Question who will replace Sanchez, any other formers pols who have been booted from office? Not like CNN has any scruple's!
I think they oughta give it to that woman (what's her name?) that was Rick's sidekick on the show.
It certainly wasn't HER fault that Sanchez was a butthole and got the axe.
Besides, I always felt bad for her that Sanchez made her just stand there all the time while he just sat there and never offered her a seat. I mean hey.... I know she has great legs and that, which is probably why he had her on the show. Just the same, you'd think that a gentleman would treat her with a little more respect than that.
Give the show to the bimbo, whoever she is!!!
Chrissy Matthews might beat Olby to it. Matthews went on an unhinged rant about Ron Johnson (the guy running against Feingold) tonight over his global warming skepticism positions.
He actually finished by saying “Back in the 1960s, we called people like that (enviro skeptics) PIGS”
GOOD! Drunk Azz Colon Commando.
I think I was mistaken about Sanchez being on probation for filming a pilot for another network.
I believe that was his MSNBC counterpart, David Schuster.
i don’t like Sanchez but what he did does not merit his firing
Jon Stewart bigot and CNN run by lib Jews?
I think CNN just fired their highest ranking Jewish guye to be up to date there pRick
but still
Jews can take the heat same as anyone
anybody get upset by calling someone Southern conservative
both are as ubiquitous and accurate generally speaking “liberal Jew”
or “liberal black”
or “liberal Puerto Rican”
but...I REALLY DO NOT LIKE SANCHEZ from before many freepers were even born
I do like watching libs eat one another...maybe someone like Freidman or Krugman will say something nasty about the Sulzbergers
one can dream
Whunu? CNN has ‘standards’...ROTFLMBO!
Good riddance.
“I think CNN just fired their highest ranking Jewish guye to be up to date there pRick”
Won’t work! They’re headed off a cliff! BWAAAAAHAHAHA...
It has begun!
&&&
Just what is it that has begun?
