Judge Dismisses Discrimination Suit Against Cnn, Turner

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a class-action racial discrimination lawsuit filed by current and former black employees of Time Warner, owner of Turner networks including CNN, TNT and TBS. U.S. District Court Judge William Duffey of the Northern District of Georgia wrote in Tuesday's dismissal order that the two employees named in the suit failed to show that intentional discrimination based on their race occurred. The lawsuit filed in December claimed a pattern of discrimination against black employees, particularly men, in evaluations, pay and promotions. The suit relied heavily on an internal company report on diversity at Turner and CNN, but Duffey said the statistics in the report could be explained by "non-discriminatory factors" and didn't support the claims of intentional and widespread discrimination.Read more on NewsOK.com
