Former CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien has accused an unnamed executive producer at the network of insisting that she only book the "right kind" of black guests on her show.

O'Brien, who co-anchored CNN's "American Morning" from 2003 to 2007, made the allegation in a pair of tweets Saturday, in which she alleged the producer singled out New York Times columnist Charles Blow as the "right kind" of black person, but not radio host Roland Martin.

Doesn't surprise me. CNN has clear bias on many issues, and their guest panels are usually love fests of agreement. You need to head to ABC News to get anything remotely like objective journalism anymore. A horrible thing to say, since ABC one was one of the leaders in entertainment journalism back in the day.
