What’s Worse than Gustav? CNN’s Rick Sanchez Anchoring Coverage

Kudos to MSNBC

MSNBC, becoming more known for prison documentaries and visual talk radio, is actually covering the news today.  I’ve been looking in from time to time today on their hurricane coverage.  They appear to be the only network who had a reporter in Cuba to cover the hurricane.  The devastation and displacement of people is horrendous.  I hope decision-makers in the Gulf states and Washington have seen some of this coverage.

Brickbats to CNN

Guys this story is too serious for Rick Sanchez.  Sanchez proves every time he’s on the air that he’s the Ted Baxter of today.  One of his trademark moves is to get a guest talking and then loudly interrupt them about 15 seconds into what they’re saying.  He just did it to Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Russel L. Honore, the Ragin’ Cajun.  Honore, I believe, is calling in an airstrike on Sanchez’s position.  As I write this, Sanchez is checking in on Facebook to let us know what “Mark” from Somewhere in cyberspace thinks about everything.  Rick, there appears to be enough news today.  Put down the Facebook.  America doesn’t give a shit what “Mark” thinks.

    3. You’re totally right. this story is WAY to important for this guys horrible coverage. If he mentions Facebook. Twitter or Myspace one more time I’m gonna lose it.

    RICK.You really stick. how about reporting giving some useful information instead of reading unprofessional drivel.

    I was a CNN fan forever but between Rick and WAY TOO MUCH WOLF BLITZER I thinking of bailing for .. well… nothing. I give up. the news has lost me…
