Rick Sanchez

I'm kinda of shocked that CNN let go of Rick Sanchez even though he been with them for six years!
So I guess Rick Sanchez was right that the media is ran by Jews because it is highly unlikely that if Mr. Sanchez commented on Mexicans or even Blacks I don't think they would have fired him and I'm going on past comments that have been made about the races from Journalist. But once Rick speaks about Jews its "off with his head". I feel bad for Rick Sanchez because he literally spoke his mind and he got fired for it! I hope Rick comes back on TV but not as a Journalist but as a talk show host where he has the freedom to express his opinions and people can
understand where he is coming from!

Rick Sanchez Publicly Apologizes for "Inartful" Comments

Rick Sanchez

Rick Sanchez issued a public apology Wednesday, calling his comments about Jon Stewart "inartful" and "mangled," according to a statement obtained by Variety.

In the statement, the 52-year-old said he had a very good conversation with Jon Stewart on Monday when he was able to apologize for his "inartful" comments. Sanchez also extended his apology to anyone who was offended.

Jon Stewart: Rick Sanchez could replace Steve Carell on The Office

Stewart addressed the situation on Monday's Daily Show, joking that Sanchez could replace Michael Scott on The Office. However, Stewart also said that Sanchez "probably" has a good heart.

"As Jon was kind enough to note in his show Monday night, I am very much opposed to hate and intolerance, in any form, and I have frequently spoken out against prejudice," Sanchez said. "Despite what my tired and mangled words may have implied, they were never intended to suggest any sort of narrow-mindedness and should never have been made."

Rick Sanchez fired from CNN after calling Jon Stewart a "bigot"

During an interview on the Sirius XM radio show Stand Up with Peter Dominick last Thursday, Sanchez said Stewart was a "bigot" and suggested that Jews run many major media outlets.

Following his remarks, Sanchez was let go from CNN Friday after six years. He had been with the network for six years and hosted the afternoon program Rick's List since January. Sanchez has since been replaced by Brooke Baldwin.

"I want to go on record to say that I have nothing but the highest regard for CNN and for my six wonderful years with them. I appreciate every opportunity that they have given me, and it has been a wonderful experience working for them," he said. "I have tremendous respect for everyone there, and I know that they feel the same about me. There are no hard feelings — just excitement about a new future of opportunities."
