Is Rick Sanchez Really A Clever Form of Corporate Sabotage?
I’m convinced that CNN is being actively sabotaged by a mole on its Board of Directors. How else can I explain why Rick Sanchez still has his own show even though thin-skinned, partisan, condescending ignorance is driving away viewers so fast that if you listen patiently toward Atlanta, you can hear their little sonic booms?
If CNN was run as a business, this little display of “Wait…what?” would have earned him a pink slip this morning.
SANCHEZ: I was just asking Chad, how can you get a volcano in Iceland? [Myers laughs]. Isn’t it too- when you think of a volcano, you think of Hawaii and long words like that. You don’t think of Iceland.
MYERS: Right.
SANCHEZ: You think it’s too cold to have a volcano there. But no! There it is.
No, Rick, we wouldn’t think it was too cold for a volcano because we paid attention in school. One of the things we learned is that Iceland is extremely active, geologically-speaking, what with all the hot tectonic plate on tectonic plate action going on up there. It’s so famous for its volcanism it even picked up a quaint little nickname. In fact, volcanoes don’t really mind the cold at all.
Also, ”Hawaii” isn’t a particularly long word. On the other hand, “Eyjafjallajokull”, which is the name of the glacier under which this volcano erupted, is. We really don’t think of long words when we think of volcanoes, either, or we’d never go to Wales or California (movie prophesy!).
Come on, man, smarten up. If you can’t handle the general news beat, drop back to something more your speed, like covering the Sprout Network before you put Helsinki in Sweden.
The hilarity didn’t stop there, by the way. Mere seconds later, Sanchez cut Myers off to ask, “What’s that white stuff though? It looks like clouds.” Myers, no doubt looking for some way to plausibly fake a heart attack or zombie invasion so he could get away from Sanchez gracefully, replied, “…that’s just a cloud.”
He has to have an angel on the Board of CNN because no reasonably intelligent corporate leader would let his particular combination of arrogance and ignorance anywhere near a camera. I suggest that anyone interested in CNN’s corporate health start looking for that person because once you’ve found them, you’ve found the mole.
