REPORT: Black Reporter Files Suit Against The Young Turks For Racial Discrimination

A former reporter for The Young Turks (TYT) has filed a racial discrimination claim against the news outlet. Andrew Jerell Jones, who is black, accuses Young Turks founder and CEO Cenk Uygur of telling him that complaints from employees about racial bias in the company were a “fireable offense” and that he should “shut the fuck up and deal.”

Uygur responded to the allegation by informing Buzzfeed News, “The quotes attributed to me in the workplace are completely false.”
