Herridge, now 46, claimed "female and black correspondents were given less desirable shifts" in the network and that oftentimes assignments (including an anchor job) were denied or "taken away from her" due to her sex and age. In 2008, the network said it found no evidence of bias, and when her contract came up for renewal, it included language barring her from making more discrimination complaints, according to the lawsuit.
Why should she have to be sent on less desirable assignments? She should be given a corner office and an anchor job right away, because she deserves it more than those who have earned it.

Maybe I'm just cranky tonight, but if I'd been "retaliating", she'd have gone off the roof, or down an elevator shaft, in some tragic accident. Thanks Zakeet.

Oh come on, SC. Being an ignorant dope isn’t a capital offense. And what do ratings and sponsor matter in a TV show? It should be all about the anchors’ keeping their jobs as the network slides into oblivion.

After all, the only reason a network news show exists is to show off the female anchors’ shiny lipstick. Everybody knows that.
