Dishonest CNN Faces Racial Discrimination Lawsuit as They SINK to the Bottom of the Ratings Pool
CNN is having a “bad day.”
Not only did their candidate lose the election in a massive SMACKDOWN, but their ratings are in the toilet, and now they’re being SUED for racial discrimination.
That’s right, CNN is being accused of passing over black employees and denying them on-the-job training.
Gee, that’s not very “tolerant,” is it?
From Deadline.com:
The Time Warner-owned cable news network passes over black employees and denies them on-the-job training, producer Ricky Blalock claims in a $500,000 racial-discrimination lawsuit filed this week that marks the second such legal action against CNN in just more than a year. CNN “intentionally and willfully violated Mr. Blalock’s right to be free from race-based discrimination in his employment,” says the complaint filed Thursday in federal court.
A full-time employee for the past three years, former freelancer Blalock, a producer for anchors Fredricka Whitfield and Ashleigh Banfield’s morning legal show, alleges that white CNN staffers were offered paid training while he and other African-Americans were not.
The producer also says that after he filed a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission this summer on the state of things at CNN, he was passed over for a promotion. The position went to a white woman Blalock claims had fewer qualifications. The plaintiff’s action, first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is seeking at least $500,000 in damages. A CNN spokesperson declined comment on the lawsuit today.
Bigots.

Good!
Nail their Clintonian asses.
Why doesn’t the BLACK VAN GUY TALK ANY KRAP ABOUT THIS.
Looks like they are eating their own.
Talking out of both sides of their mouth.
This is the same corporation whose senior VP told reporters in Switzerland that American troops “were targeting the media in Iraq.” He had to resign in disgrace, as did Dan Rather for fabricating documents to smear President Bush and throw the presidential election. As Wikileaks releases have shown, there is no level to which the Left will not sink, just to prevail and control others.
