A former CNN vice president who was assigned to recruiting on-air talent has filed a lawsuit against the cable news network charging that it engaged in "a pattern and practice of unlawful race, sex and age discrimination." As reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bonnie Anderson claims in the lawsuit that when she refused to participate in the alleged discrimination, she was fired. Specifically, she charges that top CNN executives required a particular ethnic mix for each of its networks. Her charges were echoed by a second suit, filed by former CNN International anchor Marina Kolbe, who claims that CNN concentrated ethnic and racial minority anchors on its CNN International network while demanding primarily white female anchors at CNN USA and CNN Headline News. CNN declined to comment on the lawsuits.

When I'm overseas and watch CNN International, all the talking heads are third world types who speak English with an accent. Of course, everyone speaks English with some kind of accent, but CNN at home seems to prefer native-born speakers. Is that discrimination?
By the way, now that African-Americans are no longer the largest minority, will theirTV quotas be taken over by Hispanics?

I think the new "in" minority group these days are homosexuals.

When I could stomach it, I watched CNN Europe while we were in Germany last year. The anti-American bias was even worse than the swill CNN dishes out here. Armed Forces Network would rotate between Fox and CNN. Made it even easier to see how badly CNN sucks.

Oh, who cares! LOL!
