Rick Sanchez’s abrupt dismissal from CNN in the wake of explosive comments about Jon Stewart and complaint that the network that signed his checks is run by Jews on Friday was discussed on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” on Sunday.
“We had to whip up this program at the last minute because a CNN anchor talked himself out of a job,” Howard Kurtz said at the top of the show.
Kurtz — who seemed to be pretty clearly reveling in Sanchez’s unraveling — led a discussion with former ABC News anchor Carole Simpson, ex-CNN correspondent Jamie McIntyre and Washington Post reporter Paul Farhi.
