We all heard what happened. Last Thursday, the CNN anchor Rick Sanchez called Jon Stewart a “bigot” and, shortly after Mr. Stewart’s Judaism was invoked, remarked that “everybody that runs CNN is a lot like Stewart.” On Friday, Mr. Sanchez was fired. And on Monday, Mr. Stewart took to his “Daily Show” to react. “Here’s the deal,” Mr. Stewart said. “If CNN got rid of Rick Sanchez because they didn’t like his show, fine.” (He whispered, “We weren’t that crazy about it either.”
CNN has not commented on the reasons for Mr. Sanchez’s firing. And Mr. Sanchez hasn’t said anything publicly since Thursday. But on Monday, his wife Suzanne wrote on Facebook that Mr. Sanchez had apologized to Mr. Stewart and that the two men “had a good talk.”Her message read,
“jon was gracious and called rick, ‘thin-skinned.’ he’s right. rick feels horrible that in an effort to make a broader point about the media, his exhaustion from working 14 hr days for 2 mo. straight, caused him to mangle his thought process inartfully. He got caught up in the banter and deeply apologizes to anyone who was offended by his unintended comments.”
So now, can CNN pls forgive him and let the show come back. We need that Rick's list back! Good luck to Rick. He's had some real good shows you can see on the FB page.
