“Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company,” CNN said in a released statement.
“We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well.”

The announcement comes as a surprise, but explains why Sanchez was notably absent from Friday’s Rick’s List and was replaced by Brooke Baldwin.
CNN severed ties with Sanchez after he made comments on the Stand Up! with Pete Dominick radio show saying Stewart was a bigot and that CNN was “run by Jews.”

“I think Jon Stewart’s a bigot,” Sanchez said on the Sirius radio show Thursday.
“He grew up in a suburban middle class New Jersey home with everything you could imagine. He’s a bigot against everyone who’s not like him.”

Whatever will Twitter do without him?? According to Rick, he takes credit for bringing Twitter to the masses. LMAO. Good riddance to the blow hard.

Rick Sanchez is a big joke. He killed someone while driving drunk and got away with it. I never understood how he got a job on CNN. He will probably end up on some Mexican network interviewing football players in his bikini underwear.

Making opinion comments while off CNN clock and CNN property and get fired for it? I see a lawsuit coming.

I think it is a shame that he can lose a career at least partailly because Jon Stewart
insulted and taunted him repeatedly. True, he shouldn't be citing Jewish people, but
neither should Stewart have called him a "Twit", among other things.

He'll end up at the lunatic left station, MSNBC, which has even fewer viewers than CNN. Looks
like they may be firing the loud mouthed idiot Ed Schultz, so they will have an opening.
