In an interesting, a lawsuit has been filed on behalf of all of CNN's African American employees alleging that the network engages in racial discrimination in hiring and promotion. I haven't seen the complaint, but the news reports indicate that the basis for the charges is the under-representation of blacks at the highest level of CNN management. Given that CNN is one of the prime places where phony charges of racism are made in our media, it's nice to see charges of racism leveled at the network. Nevertheless, the court should require more than just unequal representation to prove discrimination; there needs to be proof of actual discrimination.
Just remember this lawsuit, however, the next time you hear that some nonentity on CNN is charging someone with racism.
