From AJR, October 2002

Former Philadelphia news anchor Rich Noonan files a complaint with a state commission alleging that the local Fox station let him go because he is white.

By Kathryn S. Wenner
Kathryn S. Wenner, a former AJR associate editor, is a copy editor at the Washington Post.

Former Fox Philadelphia Ten O'Clock News anchor Rich Noonan files a complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission alleging that the station discriminated against him when it declined to renew his contract last February. "I was not an egomaniac or a jerk to work with. I had a real good run there," says Noonan, 40, who worked for WXTF for 12 years. "They just decided I was the wrong race." His replacement, Dave Huddleston, hired several months after Noonan's departure, is black. The complaint attributes numerous racially tinged remarks to station Vice President and General Manager Roger LaMay, who, Noonan says, along with News Director Scott Matthews made clear to him that the station needed an African American on the news team. A Fox Philadelphia statement "categorically denies" the allegations. "His complaint is filled with inaccuracies, and certainly the slurs and whatever that have been attributed to me are totally false," says LaMay. "I think it's sour grapes over not getting his contract renewed." Noonan's attorney, former prosecutor Richard A. Sprague, who recently defended basketball star Allen Iverson, is well-known in media law circles--in 1990 he was awarded a $34 million judgment in a libel suit against the Philadelphia Inquirer, an amount later reduced to $24 million and finally settled out of court.

Noonan outraged by dismissal

On Friday afternoon, former Fox 29 anchor Rich Noonan enjoyed an ice-cream party at his Atlanta station WGCL, a CBS affiliate. Several hours later, station brass informed him they would not be renewing his contract come October. "It's just shocking. I was doing a great job," Noonan told us yesterday. He said the station itself recently said he'd been doing a great job. Noonan, 44, says ratings have increased every period since he started at the station in November 2004. He is a main anchor at the station.

His dismissal was reported over the weekend on FTVLive. com. The site's operator, Scott Jones, wrote that he's heard Noonan, who is white, will be replaced by an African-American. That could be interesting as Noonan sued Fox 29 in 2002, alleging reverse race discrimination after his contract was not renewed and the station brought in Dave Huddleston, who is black. Noonan had sought $300,000. The suit was settled before trial in 2004. Terms are confidential. WGCL management did not return our calls yesterday.

Default It is only racism if a nonwhite is replaced by a White

If a nigger was replaced by a Caucasian, it would be racism. The reverse is said to be "balancing the books." To me it is said to be "HORSESHIT."

Blinded by the White

by Solomon Jones


Last week, former Fox 29 news anchor Rich Noonan, who is white, filed a discrimination complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission after he was fired and replaced by African-American anchor Dave Huddleston.

Noonan's decision to blame his firing on race-based quotas surprised many, including CN8 reporter Greg Coy, who says he looked up to Noonan while freelancing at Fox Philadelphia, and had never heard Noonan mention anything about quotas.

"What's up with this?" Coy, who is African-American, said when he heard about Noonan's allegations. "Where did this come from?"

According to the complaint, the claim comes from numerous conversations Noonan had with Fox reporter Joyce Evans and Fox General Manager Roger LaMay, both of whom allegedly hinted that the all-white Fox newscast would need to add diversity, thus placing Noonan's job in jeopardy.

When Noonan was fired, he blamed race, and not the newscast's perennially poor ratings. Noonan also failed to mention that nearly everyone associated with the newscast had been moved out, including his co-anchor, whose contract was also not renewed, the weatherman, who left last year, and the news director, who resigned last year when LaMay began making changes to boost sagging ratings. Noonan's omission not only confused colleagues; it angered some black activists.

"For a white male in his position to make such a statement is absolutely outrageous," says Philadelphia attorney Michael Coard, who often represents blacks in police brutality cases. "It's either stupid or racist, and in my estimation, they are both the same thing."

Noonan's claims, if true, illustrate "reverse discrimination," where whites become the victims rather than the perpetrators of race-based bias.

The U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in a February ruling in the case of Hitchens v. County of Montgomery, said that "suits by white plaintiffs asserting reverse discrimination are viable even though the plaintiff is not a member of a racial minority."

But while the court may deem such claims legitimate, many blacks aren't so sure. [LOL]

"There's no such thing as reverse discrimination," says Coard. "We can't stop white folks from getting jobs, getting into college, getting bank loans. Racism can't be reversed because we don't have the power to do those things." [... but the jews do]

But the reality, according to a former Fox employee, is that while reverse discrimination may not exist, race does matter in newsrooms. That's why departing black reporters are often replaced by blacks.

Still, race, while a factor in newsroom makeup, is not as important as ratings.

"You think [Channel 6 anchor] Jim Gardner is going to get replaced by an African-American when the ratings have been solid for 20 years? No ... Last time I checked, ratings weren't a particular color," the former Fox employee says. "You could be a Martian. If you bring in ratings, they're going to keep you." [so niggers = higher ratings? LOL niggers don't watch the news...]

The Federal Communications Commission doesn't require broadcasters to maintain quotas. But it does require that they demonstrate efforts to recruit, hire and retain diverse news operations, says Condace Pressley, president of the National Association of Black Journalists and assistant program director at CNN radio affiliate WSB-AM in Atlanta.

One broadcasting insider says that some news operations maintain unofficial quotas because diversity "often translates to viewers". But proving the quotas exist is difficult. "You'll never be able to get anything official regarding that, because there's no mandate," the insider says. "It boils down to the integrity of each news organization. It's almost impossible to prove unless there's a track record and a history."

That doesn't sit well with some people.

"Within the industry, is there some quiet resentment among individuals because there are more voices involved in covering the news?" Pressley says. "I would say there are some folks who would never say it publicly, but nevertheless harbor some quiet resentment."

Some black broadcasters privately wonder if Noonan's discrimination complaint is a by-product of such resentment.



The decision not to renew Noonan's contract had been made as far back as December, says Fox GM LaMay. His replacement, Dave Huddleston, was hired in the spring, and didn't start until June.

Fox Philadelphia says Noonan's allegations are false, and that they are the result of his disappointment at not having his contract renewed.

The complaint will also be filed with the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, where it will be scheduled for fact-finding and assigned to an investigator. If the complaint is found to have merit, a right-to-sue letter will be issued.

Noonan, who is represented by high-profile lawyer Richard Sprague, will probably not get that far in the process, says Vivienne Crawford, a lawyer who represents a group of workers in a discrimination suit against the University of Pennsylvania.

"Sprague's going to be treated like a rock star because of who he is," she says. "He wouldn't have taken the case unless he was convinced he could win. He's already done the research to figure out what value he can put on it and what he can get from the other side. They'll settle."

Be that as it may, says lawyer Michael Coard, the fact that a well-paid white journalist like Noonan would claim discrimination when a black reporter takes his place is disheartening. [How 'bout getting fired and replaced by a nig -- because itz a nig?]

"Africans lost their language, their religion. They couldn't get work, couldn't go to school. For him to put himself at the level of those things is an insult. People were lynched trying to vote, and yet you've got a guy making all this money crying victim.

"All the black people who've been waterhosed, bitten by dogs, lynched, castrated, those folks--the dead ones--are probably turning over in their graves." [Blacks get the last word in only when jews run the paper...]

Any time a NIGger or JEW obtains any position thru what ever means,
That position becomes sacred and can only be filled with another JEW or
NIGger.
Try to get rid of some scumbag NIGger coach with a white relacement and
hear the media cry of racism; replace the NIGgger with an Ape, and ever
thing is Cool.
Replace a JEW and it will allways be with another Kike and futher more
the de funked JEW will always be used some were else, given
one more chance, over and over again.
If you are white you are just gone, no reason needed.

Sadly, most local news broadcasts in the Kwa consist of the following: spit-polished muds and mud mixes rattling off accounts of the day’s outlandish dark crimes. The preponderance of nigger newscasters, mystery meat meteorologists, and animal anchormen would lead a person who knew no better to think that these types made up an actual physical majority in the population at large (and while they currently don’t, sadly they soon will…). And we can be fairly sure that nearly every word bleated by these dusky, teleprompter-empowered puppets has been penned by a jew or shabbez goy enabler.
