I am not making this up.

#1 I would make some remark about the the oh so PC media being accused of actions that are not Uberliberal, but that of course would be linked to the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" and of course, that would be so very biggoted too...... < ? >

#2. Quotas, quotas, quotas

#3. "I don't do phones" I love it. When I was at network, whenever there were huge stories breaking, suits from all over the building, some of them $350,000 sales VPs, would come down to help with phones, xeroxing, even running out for coffee and Danish.

#4. Friends at CBS say it was very simple. She was an unqualified and lazy Affirmative Action hire and promotion. Others double checked her work because they had to. ... and CBS will pay off because they are cowards.

When Affirmative action meets a failing business, Afrimative action must be sacrificed.

Raylina found what Anita Hill and others learned the hard way..... In the real world, pretend credentials don't hack it. (it's not a racist thing..... ask the governor of Lousiana)

"The enormous stress due to discriminatory treatment I received at Sixty Minutes Two, brought on a condition diagnosed as Cervical Ridiculitis.

"Cervical Ridiculitis"

Her job caused her to have a ridiculous cervix?

Thanx for the insight

Cervical Ridiculitis

Well, she's half right.

You know the old saying everything happens in threes?

We had (1) McKinney, (2) the black stripper who accused the Duke Lacrosse team of rape and now we have (3) Raylena Fields, the third hand of Race Card Poker played this week.

As a former white male TV news producer, let me assure you that I took phone calls for the anchors and the news director when they wanted me to or were out of the office, etc. What makes her think she's better than anyone else?

I could tell some nasty stories about what people said in the newsroom I used to work in and hurt their careers, but what's the motive?

Sounds like revenge here and with CBS sensitive to "diversity" and such I worry about who might get it for this.

Who knows, maybe Schieffer will hit the street early this summer.

[New Perspective]

Excellent post. Nice to hear comments from someone qualified and experienced.

PS Did you give Helen Thomas a big smack on the lips after dinner?:)

Bob Schieffer asked me to answer his phones...... I chose not to be intimidated and ran down to the newsroom and found an entry level person to handle Mr. Schieffer's phones until his secretary got in.

In other words, I was so offended by his condescension that I decided to treat someone under me equally as crappy to offset.

[Flavius Josephus]

I don't have any way of knowing for sure, but Schiefer doesn't seem like the type.

[rockthecasbah]

Is it possible that CBS promoted the complainant beyond her ability level just because of her color/gender, just because they wanted to appear diverse and it backfired on them? Is there some gaping irony here?

[Chasaway]

If she doesn't have one, she needs one of these:

[jeffers]

A racist incompetent against a lying liberal organization that forges documents to make news?

Awesome.

No matter which one loses this battle, we win.

I love it when liberal policy turns around bites liberals on the a$$.

Woman Drops the "R" Bomb On CBS

Oh...my...Gawd!

Somebody at CBS is a Republican?!!

[george wythe]

"There is not one single African American person holding a rank above producer on any of CBS' eight separate broadcasts,"

Easily solved. Quotas.

[Sloth]

[reagan_fanatic]

An African American producer who had been at CBS News for 13 years is attributing her March termination to racial discrimination, noting that "not one of CBS News' eight broadcasts is in any way directed, influenced, or shaped by an African American or any minority holding a senior position on that broadcast.

Let me get this straight - she was there for 13 years, and she is just now getting terminated because she's black?

And why would she care if not one black is involved in senior positions there? Seems to me CBS is doing a pretty good job of towing the liberal line without any additional help.

[wildbill]

Cervical Ridiculitis? Is that anything like ridiculous...er...nevermind.

[colorado tanker]

Man, just reading her side of the story makes her sound like really, really bad news.

[ozzymandus]

Nice to see race-baiting SeeBS get bitten by a race card playing affirmative action hire.
