Blogs Slam Sanchez Earthquake Coverage

CNN’s Rick Sanchez is taking a real lashing from TV bloggers over some clips from CNN’s Saturday coverage of the eathquake in Chile.

Update: Sanchez acknowledged the criticism on his show today. “Stupid me, I apologize,” he said laughing. “Everybody’s been all over me for this one. I was wrong.”
