CBS execs suspended over toxic work culture

Racism and misogyny in the American media? Imagine that!

Following a Los Angeles Times report, CBS has suspended 2 top TV executives for allegedly cultivating a hostile work environment. The execs include Peter Dunn, longtime president of the right-wing network's TV stations, and David Friend, senior vice-president of news for the stations.

The report claims both of these men disparaged women and Black people who worked at the network. Back in 2018, chief executive Les Moonves left CBS after becoming the subject of numerous allegations of sexual misconduct.

The National Association of Black Journalists said of the new report, "It is clear that there is a massive problem among CBS owned-and-operated stations, and in order for the company's culture to be transformed, it must begin with the firing of Dunn and Friend."

Peter Dunn and David Friend were the guys who were deciding what got broadcast as news, and now both men appear to be a discredited disgrace.
