Rick Sanchez Fired From CNN; Collective IQ of the MSM Increases Dramatically

MJ Rosenberg: Poor Rick Sanchez
I feel sorry for Rick Sanchez. And it's not because I don't think what he said was anti-Semitic. It was. It was also petty and ugly, calling the Media's most influential liberal, Jon Stewart, racially prejudiced when he clearly is about as unprejudiced and non-parochial as anyone can be. (Stewart is, in my opinion, the very best thing about the Mainstream Media. No competition either). Nonetheless, I feel bad for Sanchez because his attack on Stewart and Jews was not the adult Sanchez...

CNN shows Rick Sanchez the door
CNN SHOWS Rick Sanchez THE DOOR.... After Rick Sanchez's offensive radio tirade came to light yesterday, the question wasn't whether CNN would punish him, but rather, how severe the punishment would be. Late yesterday afternoon, we found out . Rick Sanchez, a daytime anchor at CNN, was fired on Friday, a day after telling a radio interviewer that Jon Stewart was a bigot and that "everybody that runs CNN is a lot like Stewart." The latter comment was made shortly after Mr. Stewart's faith,...

He...

CNN Provides Rick Sanchez the Opportunity to Do the Reich Thing
This whole thing happened so far I didn't ever get a chance to write the "whoa," much less the "gotta go." Basically, one of CNN's lesser lights came out as a Conspiracy-minded anti-Semite on a radio show yesterday afternoon, and was terminated today after the story got out. I'd say I'm sorry to see him go, but quite frankly, he brought very little to the air in the first place.

Jon Stewart Jokes About Rick Sanchez
Jon Stewart hosted Comedy Central's "Night of Too Many Stars," a fund-raiser for Autism research, last night, and he took the opportunity to make his first cracks about fired CNN anchor Rick Sanchez.

Rick Sanchez
As someone who’s both Cuban and Jewish, I suppose it’s my duty to say something about Rick Sanchez, namely that summarily firing him seems excessive. If, that is, we assume that CNN didn’t have some other reason to fire him. Obviously, the company is within its rights to decide that an anchor is underperforming and then, when he does something offensive and pisses people off, seize the opportunity to dump him. But on the assumption that he was doing a good job as an anchor and...

Smarmy Sanchez, Part 14: From Smarmy to Anti-Semitic (the new norm for the Left?)
Have we seen the final installment of Smarmy Sanchez ? I’m not sure, but I know one thing, we’ve seen the final repulsive episode of Rick’s List on CNN. One thing missing from the coverage on Rick Sanchez being fired from CNN (for anti-Semitic statements) is that Sanchez has merely said what many on the Left have long believed. Real Bigotry can only be done to Hispanics, blacks, gays, and Muslims. Other supposed Minorities (especially Jews) are faux Victims. The...

Mel, Rick. Rick, Mel.
Today I read that Rick Sanchez had made anti-Semitic remarks on a radio show. He said all the people who run CNN were like Stewart, and later, he made his meaning clear, saying they were Jews. Maybe I shouldn’t say it, but this comes as a relief. It would be nice to see him “move on to other opportunities,” which is a polite way of saying it would be nice to see him removed from national news coverage. Sanchez is one of those people whose success is a mystery. When he was a...

CNN fires Rick Sanchez
I try to never take joy in other people’s misfortune… even if it’s self-inflicted. But this time karma and I will dance: CNN finally fired Rick Sanchez . Was it because he went after Jon Stewart, or Jews in general? Maybe. I think it was just the last straw on a very old, much abused camel’s back. Rick has spewed some vile, hateful crap during his tenure with CNN, becoming worse every year. Yes, I am glad he’s lost his high profile bully pulpit. This...
