CBS Sued By ‘SEAL Team’ Scribe Over Alleged Racial Quotas for Hiring Writers
Brian Beneker, a script coordinator on the show who claims "heterosexual, white men need 'extra' qualifications" to be hired on the network's shows, is represented by a conservative group founded by Trump administration alum Stephen Miller.
