CNN Caves In

[Blah]

He called his boss or people who run things at CNN "Racist Jew" (indirectly, but very obvious) and got fired.

If my employee called me a racist (whether its true or not) to the public (or in private), I would also fire him in a heart-beat.

I guess you get fired if you give your opinion.

Have you ever in your life worked for anyone? Try calling your boos a racist and see if you still have your job.

I don't think he said that. He brought up Jewish people (American) running the media to support his argument that Stewart's religion hardly makes him anyone who would understand what an immigrant have to face in this country in order to succeed.

his beef was clearly with Stewart, the religion just got dragged on because of the other guy. I don't think he called any group of people "racist" - he only called stewart "prejudicial" - which you can be without being racist - maybe he even called him racist but I still think his beef is with stewart for mocking him, not anyone else..

Quote from NYT (The link you posted and I hope you read it):

Rick Sanchez, a daytime anchor at CNN, was fired on Friday, a day after telling a radio interviewer that Jon Stewart was a bigot and that “everybody that runs CNN is a lot like Stewart.”

A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, irrationality, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs or genetics. The predominant usage in modern American English refers to persons hostile to those of differing race, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, various mental disorders, or religion.

blah did you listen to the audio? When he said "everybody that runs CNN is a lot like stewart "I took it as being everyone that runs CNN is jewish, not a bigot. He said it when the subject of religion came up... His main problem was that stewart can not relate to him becaause stewart has never faced the things that he has.

I guess you can play with it however you like - you know a lot like religious books...despite what has actually been said.
