CNN Sued for Racial Discrimination! After Ironic Cries of Trump Racism (Video)

So, what kind of accusations are now confronting CNN, the ratings-0challenged network that regularly allows guests on the air to level charges such as then-candidate Trump using “racist rhetoric to pander to his base?”

“Upon information and belief,” the new lawsuit continues, “African-American employees have had to endure racial slurs and prejudicial biases from superiors such as, ‘it’s hard to manage black people’ and ‘who would be worth more: black slaves from times past or new slaves.’”

Blacks do make up 30 to 35 percent of mid-management at CNN, the lawsuit acknowledges, but “they are drastically under-represented at higher pay grades and senior positions, while still being required to generally labor three times as long as Caucasians [for promotions].”

“I’ve seen people at Turner that have worked there for 14, 15 years with a total raise over that time of $5,000 to $6,000. That’s horrible,” Meachum told reporters. “That is not the face that I think Turner and CNN wants to put on. That’s the reality of the people who work there.”

And this class action suit and Walker’s previous action aren’t even the totality of the racial discrimination claims facing the network. According to Deadline Hollywood, producer Ricky Blalock filed suit last December after he alleged CNN “intentionally and willfully violated Mr. Blalock’s right to be free from race-based discrimination in his employment.” Another producer, Stanley Wilson, sued them for the same reason back in 2014.

Yes, as it turns out, one of the most ardently liberal voices in the media today is allegedly mistreating its black employees on a massive scale. So, what have they said about it? Well, nothing. According to Variety, the network has declined comment.

Imagine if that were a member of the Trump administration declining comment on a racial discrimination suit. Wolf Blitzer would be asking about whether the person involved was a “white nationalist.” A tearful Anderson Cooper would be outside Trump Tower, demanding answers.

When it’s CNN itself, however, their motto seems to be “do as we say, not as we do.” In a perfect world, they’d be reporting breathlessly on every single development of their own racial discrimination suit, wondering aloud if they were fostering white supremacy, cutting the feed on anyone who said they weren’t.

In the real world, you can always just turn them off.
