Atlanta Journal-Constitution: African American CNN writer/producer Ricky Blalock has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the cable news network. Blalock, 51, who has worked at CNN since 2010, claimed he and other African American employees were passed over for promotions. This is not the first lawsuit against CNN in which racial discrimination has been cited. In October 2014, a field producer in Los Angeles, Stanley Wilson, filed a $5 million wrongful termination suit against CNN.
