CNN fired news anchor Rick Sanchez on Friday, a day after he called Jon Stewart a bigot in a radio show interview where he also questioned whether Jews should be considered a minority.
Sanchez, who was born in Cuba and had worked at CNN since 2004, was host of the two-hour "Rick's List." He did a prime-time version of that show in recent months, but that ended this week because the time slot is being filled by a new show.
Stewart had frequently poked fun at Sanchez on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," most recently for saying on the air that his show had received a tweet from House Republican leader John Boehner. Stewart called it a case of "send a twit a tweet."
"He's upset that someone of my ilk is almost at his level," Sanchez said during a radio interview with Pete Dominick. Interview details were posted on the Mediaite website.
Sanchez said that Stewart is bigoted toward "everybody else that's not like him."
