Racism AND Sexism at the New York Post?
Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 12:00PM
What? So they just HAPPENED to fire the person who complained about the racist monkey editorial cartoon and not the cartoonist! What are you trying to say, mis amigos at Mediate? I’m sure it was all just a horrible coincidence. I mean, racism AND sexism at a Rupert Murdoch-owned publication? Everyone knows they only have the utmost respect for minorities and people who happen to have vaginas! *Cough* Sarcasm! *Cough*
From Mediaite:
In the 38-page lawsuit, the former associate editor at the paper brings claims of not only political bias, but racial insensitivity, prejudiced hiring practices, rampant sexism and corruption. She was routinely mocked in a racist manner due to her Hispanic heritage, she alleges, and the suit notes that the last five employees fired by the paper’s publisher have been people of color.
“[W]ithin the four walls of the Post exists a hostile work environment where female employees and employees of color have been subjected to pervasive and systemic discrimination and/or unlawful harassment based on their gender, race, color and/or national origin,” the lawsuit reads. “The Post, and its parent corporation, News Corporation,” the suit continues, “maintain, condone, tolerate, directly participate in and contribute to a hostile work environment.”
I just can’t believe that any organization that would have someone as outstanding as Glenn “Obama Is A Racist and I can’t stop crying!” Beck on their cable TV network would tolerate such chicanery! What is coming to the world when a newspaper owned by a man who never met a nekkid scandal he didn’t like would put up with SEXISM at ANY of his publications! Why I neva!

Personally, I wish that Rupert Murdoch and his money could be deported back to Australia and spend his time and energy sowing divisivness in his native land instead of here. Rat bastard.
i wonder if lionel mcintyre reads the post.
What goes around, comes around.
Right, just because someone alleges something it must be true.
Thank you very much for the excellent and useful subject. kampanya
