Rick Sanchez presumably fired from CNN

submitted by Tingles

1 decade 3 years 7 months 1 week ago

Rick Sanchez is no longer with CNN after making controversial remarks about Jon Stewart. He begins by calling Stewart a "bigot".

Details at CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/10/01/cnn.sanchez/index.html?hpt=T2

"Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company," according to a statement from CNN. "We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well."

This clip is audio of the remarks Sanchez made on XM's "Stand Up with Pete Dominick".

I, at times, found myself supporting some things Sanchez said and/or did. He had his moments. Overall, however, I found him an egotistical buffoon and I won't miss him.

Meh, Sanchez is a dick. See ya.

If this was audiosift, I'd vote for it.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'cnn, rick, sanchez, fired, audio, jon, stewart, bigot' to 'cnn, rick sanchez, fired, audio, jon stewart, bigot, pete dominick' - edited by xxovercastxx

Could have kept his job with a simple "okay maybe bigot is not the right word... what I mean is bully" backpedal. But in every clip I see of this guy he is saying incredibly dumb shit and then sticking with it. Totally cringeworthy.

Cannon fodder for next week....

Moving this video to Tingles's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

*beg

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Tingles.

His argument is stupid.

What a moron.

I think the problem is that 'bigot' has two meanings. It could be that Sanchez might have meant 'bigot' in the sense of 'someone who remains stubbornly adherent to their own preconceived views', but Dominick took the word to mean 'racist, sexist or otherwise discriminatory'. Both definitions are in common usage. Sanchez might have a defensible point if he means the former (I'm not saying I agree with him, mind), but in any case the failure to establish which meaning he intended is his major mistake.
