We would be remiss if we didn't point out some of the follow-ups to the firing of Rick Sanchez.

Jon Stewart had a little to say on the subject:
And finally,former CNN senior producer Chez Pazienza worked with Sanchez at CNN and has know him for more than 20 years. Here's a bit of his take on the newsman:
As a local anchor, he was brilliant -- really, the best I've ever seen. That's because he understood that television on the whole was largely bullshit and that local news -- particularly the kind done so well at WSVN in Miami -- was just a lot of superficial dazzle. He figured if you could talk and talk well, what you were saying wouldn't really matter. He deserves credit for what one producer we used to work with together jokingly called his unique ability to "demystify television."
