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.

Ed’s a dog shooter. Probably because they keep turning down his sexual advances.

Ohhhhhh! That is reeeally good!

I fail to see how his rant is any different than that of say, Cindy Sheehan or Jeremiah Wright.

Let’s hope he doesn’t turn up on Fox——Sanchez said he was once considering it.

I'd ask "Who is Rick Sanchez?" but I don't watch CNN -- or teeheevee "news," or even TV for that matter.

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.)

Rick reminded me of Johnny Gomez.

CNN's ratings would go up if Johnny Gomez and Nick Diamond read the news.

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!!!

Maybe I'm wrong ,but I don't think FOX would have him...Their balance folks: Gealdo, Alan, Bob B, Juan and Kristinn all remind me of members of a high school debate team who are assigned a position and really aren't too enthusiastic about it...Sometime I think they recite the “talking points” just to point out how ridiculous they sound.....Convenient foils.

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”

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
