You're Fired

Popular CNN host, Rick Sanchez, was fired from CNN after making comments about Jews in the media. He made the comments on a Sirius radio show, calling "The Daily Show" host, John Stewart (who is Jewish), a "bigot" and suggesting that "everybody who runs CNN" is Jewish. As result, the news network fired Sanchez and thanked him for his years of service. CNN did not disclose if the firing was based off of his comments alone, but this is just the lastest in a series of controversial comments from Sanchez. He has also come under fire for calling President Obama a "cotton-picking president", misquoting Rush Limbaugh, and apparently not understanding the metric system.

When will people learn? I always kind of liked Rick Sanchez. In fact, I used to watch his show ("CNN Newsroom" later turned into "Rick's List") where he addressed some big topics for debate and opened them up to the nation to respond through social networks, calling it the "National Conversation." It was a pretty cool show to watch. It goes to show you that you really have to watch what you say nowadays; and that is why I give Rick Sanchez my Oops Award for the week.
