Larry Conners, the former evening news anchor for KMOV-TV, the CBS affiliate in St. Louis, Missouri, who was fired after suggesting that the IRS targeted him after his April 2012 interview of President Obama and then admitted that he had issues with the IRS dating back several years before his interview of Obama, has now filed a wage discrimination complaint against KMOV:
Since his firing, his attorneys have filed a formal discrimination complaint with the Missouri Human Rights Commission alleging that his bosses terminated him in retaliation for a dispute he had with the station in 2010 regarding his salary. In that legal battle, Conners writes in the complaint, he had alleged that KMOV was unfairly paying him less than his co-prime anchor, Vickie Newton, "an African-American female; I claimed that I received less compensation than Newtown because of my race and gender."
Since the resulting arbitration against KMOV and parent company Belo concluded in April 2012, Conners alleges in the new complaint, his bosses have treated him differently -- eventually leading to his firing this month.
While Conners may have a case against KMOV (to be honest, I don't know anything about Missouri's laws regarding discrimination in the workplace), this whole Conners saga has exposed him as a right-wing hack, as a matter of fact,
he recently filled-in for right-wing talk radio host Dana "Drop Trou" Loesch!
