Rick Sanchez's Meltdown on Sirius Radio

Rick Sanchez

"I think Jon Stewart’s a bigot" followed by "I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart" said Rick Sanchez,52, 6 year employee of CNN.
The overly flamboyant anchor of Rick's List on CNN and Miami native got fired after an ethnic offense towards the Jewish community. He has been in difficult situations before but has managed very well.

However there are doubts about a new revival of his career. Many think this last stunt makes him radioactive and no network executive will deal with that. Sanchez unemployment is most likely due to remarks he made during a satellite radio interview about being a victim to prejudice towards hispanic among the Jewish executives. 



The declarations were  also strong-handed against Comedy Central comedian John Stewart, a jewish men, who he called a bigot. The declarations are surprising given the fact that Sanchez should know that this are very sensitive issues for which there are a hurtful histories among both the hispanic and jewish communities.  He does have a history of getting in trouble.


In Miami he got caught during an FBI investigation of accepting financial favors from a Hialeah politician. Sanchez's racist remarks fell on the shoulders of a new president executive at CNN. This is the same channel that is trying to eliminate any 'drama' in the news room, an understandable move from a company that has dropped 40 percent in the ratings since 2009. 


Sanchez became part of the new CNN programming reshuffling. Campbell Brown came and went; Lou Dobbs was finally forced out; Larry King at long last retired.

MY OPINION


This is something that many people think "the whole jews-control-the-world thing."

It belongs in 1945 and has no place in today's world. If he has an insecurity complex that's his own doing and should not be dealt with in public. Everyone has stereotypes but he has to understand how to deal with them. If he says something he better have proof to back it up. He didn't back it up. Then again it's Rick Sanchez "Mr. Channel 7." The same man who revived this station after it moved towards sensationalism.

I think he will end up in a nice job in FOX news network soon enough. Why? because he fits their style of "journalism". Too much.

Wish him the best luck, but he needs to deal with his stereotypes by getting informed. Sanchez back your mouth diarrhea with facts; I'm sure he wont get in trouble again if he facts check this.
