Number 10 Rick Sanchez, the broadcasting career of Rick Sanchez began from as early as his college days when I think back to all the people and all the places that I've been.
It's not the famous names of the exotic places that really stand out.
The Cuban american news host cut his teeth, working for the local affiliate stations in Miami and Houston before getting on the national stage in the early two thousands.
In 2004, Sanchez joined CNN where he eventually started hosting his own show, Rick's list this morning.
I asked the question right here on the twitter board, directing it mostly to rick's list.
So I'd get comments from people who are relevant to the story feeling slighted over the replacement of his program in its prime time slot.
Sanchez went on an anti Semitic rant in an interview with Pete dominick.
You're such a minority.
I mean, you know, please, What are you kidding?
He's he's you're telling me that I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stuart.
It didn't take too long for the consequences of his remarks to materialize.
He was fired the very next day by CNN with his show airing its last episode that same night.
# nine Bob Beckel, the late bob Beckel served as a co host of the Fox news show, The five from 2011 to 2015.
By your own admission, that's a mistake.
No, I don't think Bekele's time on the program was marred by multiple controversial remarks, including some targeted at Muslims and asian americans.
He was initially let go by the news station after missing his show for months while he recuperated from back surgery.
Beckel was brought back on the program two years later.
Congratulations.
Welcome back.
Thank you very much.
I should say congratulations to you but I can't only to receive the chop again for uttering racially insensitive comments as an african american employee in a time when multiple top figures of the network.
We're dealing with harassment allegations.
Fox news decided to save face by parting ways with Beckel this time for good.
Number eight charlie Rose as a tv journalist with over 40 years of experience, charlie Rose built an esteemed reputation for himself and anchored different shows on multiple networks.
Welcome to CBS this morning and boy am I happy to be All of that came crumbling down in the wake of the 2017 hashtag Me Too movement in november of that year.
An article was published by the Washington Post which uncovered multiple allegations of misconduct against the famed host.
Most of these women that we talked to were working for him at a very early stage in their careers for them.
I think that there would be a tremendous risk to speaking out against his behavior.
Within 24 hours of the publication, Roses shows were suspended and he was quickly taken off the anchor's chair.
Rose released an apology soon after accepting responsibility for his actions, yet still trying to undermine some of the allegations leveled against him.
I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior.
I am greatly embarrassed, I have behaved insensitively at times and I accept responsibility for that number seven eric Bolling, a conservative pundit and television host, eric Bolling began his tv career as a financial analyst on CNBC's fast money.
He made the transition to the Fox business Network in the late two thousands and eventually worked his way up to becoming one of the hosts on the Five Hello everyone.
I'm eric Bolling along with Kimberly, Guilfoyle, Beckel, dana Perino and Greg.
It's five o'clock in new york city and this is the five but Bowling steady rise at Fox would go into free fall in september 2017 when an article by huffpost alleged misconduct on his part.
The report claims that Bowling had repeatedly sent inappropriate pictures and text messages to his female coworkers.
Bowling Quick Came out to deny the allegations, but he was suspended by the network while they investigated the claims.
About a month later, Bowling was dismissed and his show was ultimately canceled.
My wife of 20 years and I are completely on board on the same page and that I've never done anything like that.
# six ed Henry during his time as the chief White House correspondent for Fox News, Ed Henry was hit with a scandal that jeopardized his career.
It was alleged that Henry had engaged in an extramarital affair with a las Vegas cocktail hostess.
In response, Fox News put out a statement saying we recently became aware of Ed's Personal issues and he's taking some time off to work things out.
This revelation led to a four month suspension from the network, after which Henry slowly tried to rehabilitate his reputation in 2020.
However, more allegations were uncovered against the news host, I felt that he had the power to derail me to destroy me to ruin my career and I just, I didn't have a voice until now this time Henry was sued by two women who maintains that they were harassed and assaulted by him.
Henry was suspended by the network when the accusations came to light and eventually fired after an investigation was carried out.
He was fired three weeks ago, shortly after the new claims against him first surfaced number five Dan rather.
Two weeks before the 2004 U.
S.
Presidential elections CBS aired an episode of 60 minutes two in which dan rather presented a series of memos called The Killian documents.
Last week On this broadcast, we heard for the first time the full story from the texas politician who says he helped George Bush avoid military service in Vietnam.
These memos contained false allegations about former President George W.
Bush's service in the texas National Air Guard.
As soon as the documents hit the internet, they were heavily scrutinized and alleged to be forgeries Following weeks of mounting pressure.
Cbs retracted the story and fired the producers who brought it to the screen.
Those were facts and that was true because it was true.
Those who wanted to discredit the story had to attack the process by which we got to the truth And they successfully attacked us on that.
Although rather stayed on much longer.
He was eventually pushed out of the network after more than four decades working with them.
The controversial events were dramatized in the 2015 movie Truth General Stand Rather General Sir, thank you for doing this.

The once beloved governor was alleged to have harassed multiple woman over the course of his long political career.
She claims that the governor kissed her on the lips during a one on one briefing in his office and that he would go out of his way to touch her on the lower back, arms and legs citing a conflict of interest.
Cuomo decided not to report on any of the allegations leveled against his brother on his prime time news program.
I never covered my brother's troubles because I obviously have a conflict and there are rules at CNN about that.
But an investigation by the new york attorney general's office revealed that he had secretly helped the former governor mount a defense against incoming harassment claims.
This led to CNN suspending CUomo indefinitely and eventually taking him off the network in december 2021.

Matt Lauer had spent 20 years co hosting NBC's Popular Today morning show After 10 presidential interviews, nine olympics and trips to more than 60 countries.

I couldn't be happier in november 2017.
NBC fired lower after a female colleague brought forward allegations of inappropriate behavior by the fame anchor.
More allegations trickled in as time went by with some sources claiming that the network was aware of Lauer's misconduct and chose to do nothing about it.
NBC's Matt Lauer has been fired over reports of inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.
Lower issued a statement after his termination in which he claims to be embarrassed by the accusations but still dismissed some of them as false.
Number one, Bill O'Reilly topping Our list is the scandal that brought down one of the most popular news anchors in broadcasting history.
So a supporter of yours, somebody likes, you asked me yesterday why doesn't trump just stick to the issues because some of them are resonating.
Why does he have to get personal?
How do you answer that?
Bill O'Reilly was the host of the O'Reilly Factor on the Fox news channel, which was the number one cable news show for 16 years straight O'Reilly was ousted from the network in april 2017 after a bombshell report by the new york Times.
After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the company and Bill O'Reilly have agreed that Bill O'Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News channel.
The article revealed a series of harassment lawsuits brought against O'Reilly and the millions of dollars he had paid as settlement to his victims.
The revelations caused the show to lose a significant proportion of its advertisers, and O'Reilly was pushed out of the network.
He currently hosts a show on the conservative streaming platform, the first tv.
It's an anomaly because Fox News itself leans right, the pauline's left don't know why.
