Jonathan Harris, a former OANN producer, alleges that host Graham Ledger and CEO Robert Herring repeatedly harassed him because he is a black liberal.

WTF is a liberal doing working at OANN?

The lawsuit states that after being hired as a production assistant in November 2014, Harris, an outspoken liberal, was promoted in August 2016 to the job of booking producer for The Daily Ledger, a political commentary program anchored by bombastic local TV personality Graham Ledger.

During production meetings, “Ledger would regularly berate, demean and verbally abuse Plaintiff on account of Plaintiff’s liberal political views, and Plaintiff’s opinions and perspectives as an African-American male,” Harris’s lawsuit alleges.
The complaint continues: “In addition to constantly berating Plaintiff on the basis of his political opinions and racial identity, on at least 3 separate occasions, Ledger made blatantly racist comments about people of ‘non-Caucasian’ races.”

The lawsuit also claims that Herring, who frequently attended the meetings, “confided in the Plaintiff” that he “had come to realize that he held racist beliefs and opinions about African-American people and other minority groups. Plaintiff was surprised by Herring Sr.’s candor, but also began to feel intimidated and distressed about working in an environment where more than one of his superiors had openly made racist statements about African-American people.”
