I’ve always thought Rick Sanchez was a douche (note to self : find a better word to overuse than “douche”), but he’s one of the few people at CNN still willing to call bullshit on ridiculous right-wing fantasies. Lately he’s gotten into a mini-feud with Fox News after slamming the network on his Twitter feed. Their (childish) response :

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.”

I can’t help but wonder if Fox is only hiring people “who have the ability to generate ratings”, maybe the reason Sanchez is an “industry joke” is because he’s in the news industry, not lightweight, anger-fueled info-tainment.
