Rick Sanchez (CNN) Attacks Fox News, Fox News Responds

First what Sanchez said, Fox News response after.

IMAO (In My Arrogant Opinion) gives you the play-by-play.

"

Here’s the summary: Rick Sanchez is a douche bag, and thinks he’s better than the folks at Fox News. He also denies that, so he’s a lying douche bag.



Here’s what he said:


if i didn’t believe in doing right thing, i’d be rich anchoring at fox news

11:19 PM Jul 24th from web


He followed that with:


do u know how much money i’d make if i’d sold out as hispanic and worked at fox news, r u kidding, one problem, looking in mirror

11:22 PM Jul 24th from web


Seems that Huffington Post picked up on what he said, and he didn’t like it:



ok im back, just saw huffpost. good story but headline wrong! i say i couldn’t work there, im not criticizing those who do. never said that

about 8 hours ago from web


I’m not here to support Huffington Post, but Sanchez did say that he couldn’t look at himself in the mirror if he worked at Fox News.


What about those that could? Are their standards lower? Does Sanchez think he’s better than them because his standards are higher? Seems that way, doesn’t it?


Somewhere, in the midst of all this, he said this:


i guess people really are essentially same.

12:29 AM Jul 25th from web



I assume he meant “people really are essentially all the same” and not “people really are essentially sane.” If “all the same,” then he’s saying that, well, he’s just like everybody else, except that he’s better. Because he has higher standards than the Hispanics that work at Fox News.


Sounds like something a douche bag would say.


Oh, and he offered this:


wow, really getting heat from neocons and far right wing fox viewers for saying truth. must have hit nerve

about 8 hours ago from web


No, Sanchez didn’t hit a nerve. But he did offer more proof that CNN hires douche bags that think they are better than others.

"A Fox News spokesperson tells Mediaite: “Everyone knows that Rick is an industry joke, he shows that he’s a hack everyday. And he doesn’t have to worry about working at FOX because we only hire talent who have the ability to generate ratings.”

• ICN noticed a response on Twitter from FNC’s Julie Banderas.


• Johnny Dollar notes the response from FNC pundit Marc Lamont Hill.

This round goes to Fox News.
