Rick Sanchez Out At CNN

Update: Rick has released a statement via his South Florida-based publicist insisting his comments were "narrow-minded," and that those same comments "should not have been made":

I like this part of the statement:

"In the aftermath of these comments, CNN and I have decided to part ways..."

He makes it sound as if he was given a choice to stay at the network or leave. I bet most of this "decision" lies in Mr. Jauss.

Some psychologist should do a study on the equivocating language people use to explain themselves and their predicament when they're publicly humiliated.

"...comments should not have been made" is similar to the famous remark "Mistakes were made" that you always hear from corrupt politicians and businessmen when they're caught red handed. It somehow implies that they were removed from the 'mistake' or it wasn't free-will on their part. Of course, the real sentence should have been "I should not have made those comments."

They're not fooling anybody and they probably know it, so my guess is that it somehow softens the blow they feel to their own ego. It's the same thing when Sanchez implies that his leaving CNN was mutual - rather than the straight out firing, which I'm sure he knows has been reported in the media.

OK - amateur arm-chair psychology over. The Doctor is out.

Yeah, kind of a weak apology. And this "mutual parting" thing has been used by many to make it look like they were not fired. Most can see right through that.

Well, we're coming up on four months since Rick and his list have been dismissed at CNN - yet, his likeness still appears on a rotating promotional display on the network's New York City building as recent as yesterday:

This reminds me of one local TV station having reports by a former weather reporter and feature reporter on their World Wide Web site long after he had lost one of his positions and another local station's site featuring information and old videos about a former weather reporter long after he had retired.
