Jon Stewart used his appearance Saturday night at an autism fundraiser to fire back at CNN personality Rick Sanchez, RadarOnline.com has learned. Sanchez was canned by his cable net for calling Stewart a "bigot" and claiming that the networks are all controlled by Jews.

After making a serious pitch for autism education during Comedy Central's 'Night of Too Many Stars' benefit, PopEater reports that Stewart joked, "If you went on radio and said the Jews control the media...you may want to hold on to your money."
Then Stewart added that all Sanchez has to do "is apologize to us, and we'll hire him back."

David Letterman made a surprise appearance at the event, and got into the Sanchez action too, reports Gossip Cop, quoting the late night host as saying he was "helping Rick Sanchez clean out his desk."

Rick Sanchez was my favorite. I'm very upset he was fired. Coulter and a lot of right wing nuts have said worse, and nothing has happened to them.

The difference between them is that only a handful of right-wing wackadoodles take mAnn Coulter seriously. Rick is a journalist & should have known better but he's simply not a smart guy. It was bound to happen.

Letterman said he was "helping Rick Sanchez clean out his desk." This from a guy who treats his female
employees as sex slaves. Hilarious, isn't he!?

Rick Sanchez will have the last laugh. He has signed a contract with Telemundo. :-)
Rick finally made the big time.

Most of the newscasters in Miami I have spoken to consider Rick Sanchez a joke.

He was a newscaster in San Diego a few years ago. Both me & my husband's 1st impression of him was that he seemed extremely daft. Years later, some poll voted him the dumbest reporter on TV and I can see why!

This is no unlawful termination, if he was fired for being Jewish then it would apply. What he did was professional suicide and deserved termination.

Exactly!! That he chose to make that insipid statement on the radio (i.e. another form of the "media") just proves that he is not a smart guy. If Jews control the media, it's probably not wise to disparage them in the media! Oyy!
