Re the firing of Rick Sanchez, here is what he actually said:
“Sanchez said that one CNN exec told him, ‘I really don’t see you as an anchor; I see you more as a reporter. I see you more as a John Quinones – you know, the guy on ABC’…Now, did he not realize that he was telling me…An anchor is what you give the high-profile white guys, you know…To a certain extent Jon Stewart and [Stephen] Colbert are the same way. I think Jon Stewart’s a bigot.”
Now, I leave it to you to decide: did CNN fire him because he called Stewart a “bigot,” or because he implied that CNN was being discriminatory to him?
What is truly “scary” here is that no MSM source is reporting the entire comment, in context. They are simply regurgitating the (re-written) AP wire report from CNN.
