Very interesting situation at CNN. The article, Internal Memos in Discrimination Case Put CNN Hiring in Spotlight, by R. Robin McDonald at the Fulton County Daily Report (11-09-2007), seems to hinge on the extent that age, race, and gender were used as explicit criterial for the hiring and dismissing of its staff.
A follow-up article, CNN: Anchor Let Go for Poor Performance, Not Race or Age, by R. Robin McDonald, Fulton County Daily Report (11-20-2007) reports on some of the testimony.
The case is Kolbe v. Cable News Network, No. 1:03-cv-02650-cc.
