The Young Turks Sued for Racial Discrimination by Ex-Employee
Variety ^

Posted on 07/19/2018 10:19:41 AM PDT by TigerClaws

The Young Turks, the progressive news and media company, has been sued by a former employee who alleged he was subjected to discriminatory treatment — and ultimately fired — because he is black.

Andrew Jones, a black journalist who worked for TYT Network for six months in 2017, alleged that he was held to a different standard than white colleagues. Jones claimed he was fired after he refused to sign a severance agreement under which he would agree to not sue TYT Network for racial discrimination.

Jones’s lawsuit seeks compensatory damages and punitive damages of at least $75,000, plus attorney’s fees and litigation costs. He says he suffered economic injury in the form of lost wages and a “harmed reputation” as well as “considerable emotional distress,” according to the lawsuit.

I have watched this several times. Like you say, it is one of the best.

I especially liked it when the guy sitting on the left hand side of the panel occasionally chimed in with the NY Times percentage predictor. Started out with Hillary with an 80% chance to win. When it went down to 68%, you could tell the Young Turks' confidence was shaken. Then when the NY Times reported Donald Trump with a 55% chance to win, panic set in. Funniest of all is when he reported Donald Trump at 95%, then a few minutes later at 97%. The loudmouth sitting in the center went ballistic. Absolutely priceless.

They name themselves after genocidal maniacs so what do their employees expect.

They’re progressives, so this is obviously true. Progressives are racists by definition, and they still view minorities - particularly blacks — as their property. They can deny it all they want, but that’s the truth.

The original “Young Turks” also turned out to be a disaster for Turkey: perpetrating genocide against Armenian and Assyrian Christians and losing a catastrophic war. It is not an auspicious name.

I hear “Young Turks” and all I can think of is that crappy Rod Stewart song.

Well, “Young Americans” is a better song, so I’ll just go with that.
