quote:

An Emmy Award-winning CBS anchor claimed the Tiffany Network’s blind pursuit for diversity hires led to him getting canned because he is an aging, white, heterosexual male, according to blockbuster lawsuit.

Jeff Vaughn, 58, who spent eight years at a CBS-owned Los Angeles affiliate, alleged he was replaced by a younger, minority news anchor in 2022 in the $5 million discrimination lawsuit against CBS and parent company Paramount Global, which was filed in a California federal court Monday.

The complaint pointed to a CBS goal to ensure that half of all writers be nonwhite by 2023 and an initiative requiring half of all castmembers on their reality shows be minorities.

CBS decided that there were too many white males at CBS, and it acted accordingly. It needed to solve its ‘white problem’ by firing successful white males,” the complaint alleged.

CBS declined to comment.

Only boomers on their way out of life still watch this bullshite. They've been lied to their entire life and don't know it. No one under 40 watches this propaganda now. The anchors are all minorities with braided hair, queer, or some combination of each. Let them die.

I'm a boomer that couldn't tell you the first thing about a single anchor on any of the network news shows. Funny how you know all about them, right down to their race and sexuality.

Dude you nailed it. Mainstream or direct tv medium is being shown the door. This should be a good thing.

Funny how someone who pronounces their absolute ignorance on a topic nonetheless feels compels to offer advice wrt the topic.

I'm boomer with pretty good conservative credentials. You sound like a mid whatever, resentful because a boomer has a job that you feel "entiitled" to. Maybe it's me..I've got a pretty good gig going, took it after retirement.
Hang on, maybe someone will die soon and you can move up. Unless there's someone your age that isn't a whiner available. Then you're probably screwed.

Something's coming.

Anti-discrimination based on race and all that other shite is actually written into California's state constitution.

You're an idiot. There's not a boomer alive who watches that shite. The target demographic is literally women 18-34.

Well it is a federal case so it will eventually make its way to the Supremes. This is a clear classic case of discrimination based on race. They will try to settle but I would md

So where do they get their news from then? Some biased news source on their IPhones? What's the difference?

Got to remember, even as liberal as California has been for decades the people refused to vote for gay marriage 3 times including originally adding it to the state constitution. The CA Supreme Court overruled the voters all 3 times and forced the issue.

Will of the people and logic and precedent be damned, the agenda of the leftists will be imposed one way or another.
