Fired after calling Jon Stewart a bigot?!
Item from the Associated Press --"CNN says that anchor Rick Sanchez has been fired, a day after he called Jon Stewart a bigot while on a radio show. Sanchez said on a satellite radio program Thursday that Stewart is bigoted toward 'everybody else that's not like him.' The Comedy Central 'Daily Show' host has frequently poked fun at Sanchez on the air .Also in the interview, Sanchez had mocked a suggestion that Jews are a minority. Stewart is Jewish. The statement from CNN says Sanchez 'is no longer with the company.' In it, the network also thanks Sanchez 'for his years of service" and wishes him well.' "
Something seems to be missing from this account. CNN fired Rick Sanchez after he criticized Jon Stewart, who mocked him? Did he also mock CNN? Mocking Jon Stewart can't be a firing offense? Mocking CNN? Who doesn't mock CNN? And fired for calling Jon Stewart a bigot? Jon Stewart has been called worst. Something is missing from this story?
Rick Sanchez was one of the best people on CNN, which is a failing cable channel, because it doesn't have people bold enough to call Jon Stewart a bigot.
Do I think Jon Stewart's a bigot? I think Jon Stewart is a very funny comic, a funny man who takes a poke at people. I would not be surprise to see him take a poke at CNN.
