CBS Sued By Former L.A. Anchor Over “Policy Requiring Illegal Quotas For Race And Sex” At News Division
Ex-L.A. news anchor Jeff Vaughn is suing CBS over what he says is "a policy requiring illegal quotas for race and sex in the hiring of employees at CBS News."
The new suit follows a similar complaint against CBS made earlier this year in a lawsuit by a staffer on the show SEAL Team, who said he was discriminated against by the company’s diversity equity and inclusion policy. Brian Beneker, a longtime script co-ordinator and freelance writer, backed by former Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller’s nonprofit America First Legal Foundation, is seeking $500,000 in lost wages and a full-time producer gig. Beneker’s complaint asks a federal judge to issue a declaratory judgment that CBS and parent Paramount Global’s “de facto hiring policy” violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
