Rick Sanchez Fired From CNN

Rick Sanchez’s six year run at CNN has come to an end with his firing after CNN responded to a radio interview on SiriusXM where Sanchez called Jon Stewart a “bigot” and implied that the media is controlled by Jews.

Jon Stewart is well known for mocking Sanchez on The Daily Show, and its been long rumored that Sanchez is thin skinned. The anti-Jewish rant is reported to have been Sanchez trying to get his own back at Stewart…be in rather unsuccessfully.

Sanchez, a Cuban-American, also stated several times that he’d experienced discrimination throughout his career, including at the hands of “a lot of elite Northeast establishment liberals” who saw him as someone “who belongs in the second tier and not the top tier.”

CNN, said it will telecast “CNN Newsroom” in Sanchez’s 3 to 5 p.m. time slot “for the foreseeable future.”
