Cnn reporter fired jon stewart

Oct. 2, 2010— -- CNN news anchor Rick Sanchez has been fired by the network after he called Jon Stewart a bigot and questioned whether Jewish people should be considered a minority.

Sanchez, the host of CNN's "Rick's List," made the comments Thursday on the radio show "Stand Up!

With Pete Dominick" in reaction to a recent jab that Stewart made at him on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."

When Sanchez reported that he'd 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 of Stewart in an interview with Dominick, adding that he feels that Stewart is bigoted toward "everybody else that's not like him."

Sanchez, who was born in Cuba, went on to say that Stewart "can't relate to what I grew up wit
