According to some, the ceiling for Black folk at CNN only goes to middle management.

It should be interesting to see how this plays out.  Were these people passed over for promotion strictly because of their ethnicity, or were they simply passed on for better candidates?

I had to google "Lawnewz", but their founder checks out. Such a silly name for a serious website. 

I'm sure it's a mixture of both depending on the person (since there are 20-30 unnamed people). No doubt a white owned and run business in the South would have some discrimination, whether intentional or not, but also no doubt that someone would blame being passed over for better candidates as "discrimination". 

As to why this isn't a big story like the Roger Ailles story: these are mid level producers and management, not major on camera personalities.
