Rick Sanchez Got Fired!

I know, old news. But see - I've been staying at a Starwood Hotel for the past three (3) nights, where the only cable news channel is CNN, unless you count Fox. So basically it never happened.

No MSNBC is found anywhere near a Westin.

Was it justified?

2. It was justified years ago, doesn't deserve to be there, just like most of the CNN talking heads.

But recently he was caught saying something bigoted about CNN management or owners.

So, doubly justified.

6. And the jews, don't forget the jews. He pissed off a whole lot of

his bosses, he was wrong, and should have been fired. Foot-in-mouth disease in action.

4. I"m still a little bemused by it ...

... so, this "speaking truth to power" schtick Sanchez was on was just that, a schtick?

If it wasn't, he'd of known better than to equate Jew with money and power. I know plenty of Jews who are scraping by ... just like a whole lot of Christians, Zoroastrians, Muslims, and so on, and so on.

5. I spent the last week in a Hilton. They had MSNBC, Fox and CNN but no...

Comedy Central so I was really news deprived.

8. Crazy huh?

I knew his comments would be an issue, but I didn't think they'd fire him. I guess I've been desensitized to this crap.

9. It was justified--in addition to trashing Stewart, he also bit the hand that fed him

Edited on Sun Oct-03-10 10:20 PM by rocktivity

"...(E)verybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they, the people in this country who are Jewish, are an oppressed minority? Yeah."

Publicly insulting your bosses is STILL enough to get you fired--even in this day and age.

11. So you're saying the media IS controlled by Jews?

Or it's an insult to be called Jews?

12. No, it's an insult to be backhandedly called a BIGOTED Jew

Edited on Mon Oct-04-10 09:30 AM by rocktivity

("I think Jon Stewart’s a bigot...prejudicial...Everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart")--especially by someone whose salary you're paying.
