FOX News Goes Nuclear On Drunk Driving Murderer Rick Sanchez

Mediaite:

CNN anchor Rick Sanchez is big on Twitter. One thing he’s not big on – holding back.

Last night he began a series of tweets aimed at Fox News, knocking their credibility as a network (and also, in a way, making a statement about his own network). Well he asked for it: we have the response from FNC – a classic Fox smackdown of the “hack.”

Before we get to Fox News’ response, here’s what Sanchez tweeted. First:

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

And:

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

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.”

What is Sanchez even implying? Is he saying he’s not getting paid enough at CNN? That a Hispanic would be ’selling out’ by working at FNC?

Sanchez is known for attention-grabbing comments and actions. But in the Twitter world, these types of comments are only exacerbated by the complete lack of network oversight. It’s doubtful CNN would have cleared these statements, but on Twitter, an oversharer like Sanchez can let his uncensored thoughts get disseminated to the public, and picked up immediately (we saw this first on Inside Cable News). A headache for CNN, but great for us.

    it would be awesome if he got fired for those remarks.

  2. Professor Bill

    When is he going to come out of the closet?

  3. Scoot

    I see a firing in the near future. Maybe he can get hired on at TMZ.

    “how much money i’d make if”

    Envy is a destructive emotion.

  5. streeter

    How does making the same minimum wage at a different network equate to a raise?

    Hopefully he’ll go just like the CNN reporter (not)Susan Roesgen who was openly contemptuous to an interviewee at a ‘tea party’ and now has lost her job (contract wasn’t renewed). Besides FOX has Geraldo … Rick it sucks to be you. But, then he’ll probably end up on the White House staff like the other useless idiots.

  7. Is he implying that CNN purposely underpays Latinos? Or should this be taken as CNN knows exactly what he’s worth? I don’t pay him much mind anyway since I think that having killed a person while drunk driving probably weighs pretty heavily on his conscience. It would mine.

    Friggin’ closet homo.

    He twitted this crap around the 8 PM hour on a Friday Night, wonder where he was & what he might have been consuming?

    Julia Banderas of Fox said, “As a wise Latina woman, I have no comment other than to say if I were Rick Sanchez, I wouldn’t look in the mirror, period. :smile:

    Does anyone else see a liberal black islamic hispanic alliance on the horizon, or is it just me???

    Never heard of the guy…Never seen the guy. I must be doing something right! I’d have to agree though…from the above pic I’d say he has all the signs of being a sodomite. :shock:
