CNN Reliable Sources: Rick Sanchez ‘Went Off the Deep End’

CNN Reliable Sources host Howard Kurtz finally tackles the firing or former CNN host Rick Sanchez, saying that Sanchez “went off the deep end” when he suggested that Jews control the major media networks and discriminate against Hispanics.

Kurtz says that Sanchez “talked himself out of a job” when he appeared on a Sirius XM radio show and made the following comments:

“When they look at a guy like me, they see a guy automatically who belongs in the second tier and not the top tier… I think Jon Stewart’s a bigot… That Rick Sanchez, the little Puerto Rican guy. I’ll make fun of him. He’s upset that someone of my ilk is at almost his level.”

Sanchez and Sirius radio host Pete Dominick then engaged in the following exchange:

Dominick: Stewart’s a minority, as much as you are.
Sanchez: He’s, he, come on…
Dominick: He’s Jewish
Sanchez: Yeah, Yeah very powerless people… I’m telling you that everyone who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart.
