CNN fires Rick Sanchez: Zap2it readers rejoice and mourn

Cheers

Dee: Finally...Rick Sanchez fired. He went to the Ron Burgundy/Ted Baxter school of broadcasting. Dumb as a box of rocks. Please Jon Stewart start picking on Tony Harris next... he went to the same broadcasting school as Sanchez.

Richard: I look forward to Jon's reaction to this. Maybe the Daily Show could track his future career moves on the map like a Doppler weather forecast.

Jan: I'm absolutely THRILLED that he's gone. CNN has always been my "background noise" while I work, too, and since he took over the entire AFTERNOON, I switched to MSNBC.

J.C. Belland: CNN is my background noise while working from my home office, and I have always thought that Sanchez was by far the most annoying personality ever on CNN. He should have been fired long ago simply for not being a credible anchor on what was supposed to be a news program. And if CNN wants to improve its ratings among intelligent people, they can fill some of his time slot with international news, like BBC reports on.

Hoo boy: dang Rick, you really stepped in it this time!! I don't think Jon Stewart has anything personally against you. He just picked you out because you're so FUNNY!! You weren't just another boring anchor. it was really kind of a compliment. Agree with above post, you should've just laughed it off. you kind of got a chip on your shoulder, buddy. ps: you were my fave show on CNN.

Jeers

Shawn: I don't agree with what he said or says on his show. But what happened to free press. Wow talk about hypocrisy.

Brookie: Awwwww...I'm gonna miss this big lug. his Rick's list show was so fun. Rick & Don Lemon are my 2 favorites on CNN, so I'm really gonna miss him! Good Luck, Rick! btw, I'm a big fan of Jon S too. wish Rick could've just laughed it off.

Alexis: I think this is really unfortunate. I don't agree with what Rick said, but I think getting fired for it was a bit extreme. Why can't we tolerate differing opinions. I am a moderate liberal and I think we should be able to work this stuff through.

Melvin Olson: I've always enjoyed Rick's show and will miss him. It seems as though everyone is wound a bit tight, then again, maybe it isn't everyone but certain ones.

Lynn: Ok I'm not a big fan of Rick's, but CNN you are talking out of both sides of your face. You fire Rick but hire SPITZER...Really, Really??

Daniel: I just listened to the whole interview and I'm with Rick. I never really watch CNN (or Fox News for that matter), but he has a point.

Where did you fall?
