The Republican FOX "News" is getting hit with a second lawsuit. The
first one stemmed from "Family Values" Bill O'Reilly making freakish
Republican sex pervert calls to co-workers while whacking off.
Yikes! Would Jesus approve of that?

Fox News hit with sexual harassment lawsuit
EEOC suit claims company retaliated against former worker for
complaining
NEW YORK -
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a sexual
harassment lawsuit in federal court against News Corp.’s Fox News
Network LLC.
A sexual harassment lawsuit by the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission against Fox News Network LLC contends that Fox retaliated
against Kim Weiler, a former employee, for complaining about
discrimination and that, as a result of the discrimination, Weiler and
others at Fox were "constructively discharged" by the network.
The suit does not state how many people were discharged.
The complaint contends that Joe Chillemi, a Fox vice president who
supervised its advertising and promotions departments, sexually
harassed and subjected Weiler and other women to a hostile work
environment, routinely using obscenities and vulgarities to describe
women or their body parts.
A spokesman at News Corp. and a spokeswoman at Fox News didn’t
immediately return phone calls seeking comment late Monday.
The complaint says Chillemi also made a number of derogatory comments
about pregnant women.
"In addition, at a department discussion about a segment on sexism in
the workplace, Chillemi said that in choosing who to hire, ’If it came
down between a man or a women, of course I’d pick the man. The woman
would most likely get pregnant and leave,"’ the complaint says.
The lawsuit also claims a supervisor in the advertising and promotions
departments, which Chillemi oversees, referred to women in those
departments in a derogatory way as his "Promo Girls."
The complaint alleges Fox discriminated against Weiler and other
female employees in terms, conditions and privileges of employment,
including assigning women primarily to freelance positions with less
benefits, less advancement potential and less job security.
The lawsuit contends that Fox retaliated against Weiler for
complaining about discrimination, but didn’t indicate what actions
were taken.
