how he got himself tasered on camera and shrieked. Or the mystery as to how he keeps getting hired by one big league media outlet after another.
I'm dial-up impaired, so can't access link #2, which probably gives the reasons for looking favorably on him. If these have something to do with his doing well on one story or so, well, the producers and such do 90% of the "reporting" work, don't they?
But here're some blasts from the past, an SNL skit about him and now-gone Daryn KAGAN, who used to be LIMBOsevic's girlfriend (cough).

Daryn Kagan: What do you know about prison, Rick?
Rick Sanchez: Not a thing. I just like to hear myself talk. (smiles wide)
Daryn Kagan: You are an idiot.
Rick Sanchez: Your boyfriend is Rush Limbaugh.
Daryn Kagan: All right, that's private.
Rick Sanchez: You see Rush Limbaugh naked - and you like it.

Cafiero: That's right, Rick. ... Critics of
your sensational broadcasting style are claiming you are, in large part, responsible for the civic unrest that followed the removal of Elián Gonzalez from the home of his relatives in Little Havana. Those disturbances, you may recall, served to weaken the position of Miami's exile community while strengthening Fidel Castro's iron grip on power.
Sanchez
: Ah… wait a second here, Carmel. You just used the word sensational. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean good? ....
Cafiero: Not in this context, Rick. You see, a close examination of your performance over the course of the Elián saga reveals your reporting helped make the entire Cuban-exile community appear ridiculous. ....
