Paul Ossman aka "Kellogg"-"White Dog"-"POS"

https://www.ajc.com/blog/radiotvtalk/meteorologist-paul-ossmann-sues-cbs46-for-racially-and-ethnically-discriminatory-termination/r7Hz7bSKoafKhoysC5SZLP/


This place sounds like a snake pit.. No doubt he has a case...even if he is a reprehensible right-winger...why oh why do people write things down?


Paul Ossmann, former chief meteorologist at CBS46 (WGCL-TV), has sued his former employer for “racially and ethnically discriminatory termination,” accusing the CBS affiliate of fostering a “racially hostile work environment.”

In response, the CBS affiliate owned by Meredith Corp. released a statement saying that Ossmann was terminated April 8, 2019 “for cause based on multiple complaints from female co-workers of conduct that violated our workplace policies. CBS46 conducted investigations into each of these multiple complaints. Ossmann’s discharge was not only appropriate, but necessary and consistent with our values. Meredith will defend vigorously against Mr. Ossmann’s false allegations that attempt to obscure that fact.”


As a 62-year-old white man, he said he also faced “racist and ageist” comments by now former evening anchor Sharon Reed “and/or” current evening co-anchor Thomas Roberts. He said Reed called him a “white dog” and a “piece of [excrement.]”

Next to his name is also the word “Kellog,” which he said in the lawsuit is shorthand for a Kellogg’s “cornflake,” which is defined in the urban dictionary as “an old, tired conservative or Republican who whines about everything.”
