Coates was passed over while network executives mull trying out Kaitlan Collins for a primetime anchoring gig, according to reports.
Scandal-scarred CNN faces more in-fighting — this time from black staffers who are reportedly furious over the network’s decision to deny African-American anchor Laura Coates a full-time gig as it mulls moving “It Girl” Kaitlan Collins to primetime.
But in recent weeks, Coates was reportedly informed by her superiors that Alisyn Camerota, host of the 10 pm hour, would have her show extended until midnight and that the network didn’t have enough staff to accommodate Coates’ show.9 p.m.
According to Insider, black staffers at CNN have decided against taking the issue up to C-suite levels because they have largely resigned themselves to the fact that the network’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery,The Post has reached out to CNN for comment.
