Former reporter suing CNN for unfair dismissal and racial discrimination

The Spin
Narrative A
CNN knows it has done something unsavory, as evidenced by its attempt to get this case thrown out based on territorial grounds. But it probably won’t be able to avoid Mohsin’s suit any more than it can shake the effects of other recent scandals — including those involving its past two bosses — and declining ratings. CNN is in trouble.
Narrative B
CNN has certainly faced some challenges in recent months, but it’s getting its act together by picking the right people to manage the network and finding the right talent to fill its most important time slots. CNN also has a plan to generate revenue that will keep it thriving for the foreseeable future. This media juggernaut will be able to weather the storm.
