Rick Sanchez wasn’t the only sort-of-anchor who had a take on his strange sort-of-anchoring during CNN’s tsunami coverage Saturday.

Jon Stewart weighed in on The Daily Show tonight as well.

Citing Sanchez, Stewart described CNN as “the most trusted name in over-caffeinated control freaks.”

And how does Rick Sanchez delivery the news, according to Stewart?

Like a guy at a party who’s doing a lot of coke, who traps you in a corner, who explains really intensely how an ant is the strongest animal on earth.

Also, that screengrab is from the moment Sanchez asked if Hawaii was that spot off the west coast of South America.

Enjoy Stewart’s take(down):

Sanchez acted foolishly while solidifying every caricature we have about ‘TV News People.’ It was great to see Stewart focusing on someone from ‘media’ rather than politics. How uneducated to you have to be not to know that nine meters is about 27 feet? I guess ‘elites’ have their own sense of what constitutes ‘education,’ where all the textbooks are written by people named Alinsky.

Rick Sanchez is a loud-mouth who has been called out repeatedly for his on-air blunders. Sorry, but he is among one of the worst anchors on CNN.

In a little noted effort to increase ratings at Fox News, Roger Ailes decided that CNN should get rid of Lou Dobbs and give Rick Sanchez a two hour show. Brilliant!
Moderate

The other two news networks seem to keep handing Mr. Ailes a victory.
