Sounding off
Cary Spivak and Dan Bice reported in their column in Sunday's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on former WUWM host Robyn Cherry.
In 2004, Cherry, then the only African-American at the public radio outfit, filed a complaint with the state claiming she was passed over for a promotion and her on-air time was trimmed because of her race. Last year, she followed that up with a second complaint, accusing her bosses of retaliating against her by forcing her to book guests and write copy for a daily interview show that she felt she should have been selected to host.¶ 12/18/2006 12:31:00 PM
But the state tossed both the discrimination and the retaliation complaints earlier this year. The oh-so-politically correct station then promptly fired its only black staffer, accusing her of plagiarizing material she submitted for the interview show.
